Longer top tube than Junior, mm cranks, 20 x 1. Freestyle: These entered the scene shortly after BMX bikes. Rather than racing, the freestyle bike's ideal use is for flatland tricks, aggressive street riding and getting vertical at skateparks. It's also a great bike for riding to school, the store and the pool.
Super-sturdy construction is a higher priority than light weight. The wheels are usually either "mag" wheels made of sturdy nylon far left in the photo below , or heavy-duty models with 48 wire spokes. The tires are 20 x 2. Axle pegs are often included riders stand on them for stunts , although some manufacturers leave them off so you can choose your own.
Freestyle bikes come with front and rear brakes. The front cable is routed through a "rotor" or "detangler," which allows the handlebars to be spun completely around without tangling the brake cable. Dirt Jumper: As the name implies, dirt jumpers also known as jumpers are designed for taking flight.
They also bridge the wide gap between BMX bikes and freestylers beefier than the former; lighter than the latter. They usually don't have front brakes and their brawny wheels normally feature 36 rugged gauge spokes, rather than resorting to 48 spokes the way freestyle bikes do. They are occasionally equipped with inch wheels, which are a great choice for larger riders. The tires are the most heavily treaded of any of the BMX types.
There are some important parts choices to make when purchasing a BMX bike:. Wheels: It's crucial that the wheels meet your needs. Because accelerating out of starting gates is important in BMX, the wheels are much lighter than those found on freestyle or jump bikes. However, that spoke light aluminum wheelset designed for BMX racing won't hold up to dirt jumping or ramping.
So, freestyle bikes come almost exclusively with spoke or mag wheels. This makes them ultra-beefy for maximum rim protection. Dirt jumper's wheels tend to be a bit more varied. Some dirt jumpers are equipped with just 36 super-meaty gauge spokes. Others come with 48 spokes like freestyle bikes, depending on whether the bike is geared more for jumping or dirt riding. They are as comfortable grabbing the air of a ramp as they are jumping off walls.
It's common to see freestyle bikes with only back brakes and pegs for rail sliding. Freestyle bikes must have stronger frames than race bikes to take the punishment and trials of aerial stunts and manoeuvres. My message Close. Electric Road Bikes. Electric Mountain Bikes.

Kids Jerseys. Sealed Bearings: Sealed bearings means that a sealed cartridge bearing is being used. In BMX these typically mean they are higher quality, will take more abuse, have less maintenance, and generally last a lot longer than Unsealed bearings.
This is something you should look for in any high-quality complete. Semi-Sealed: A mixture of sealed and unsealed bearings. Normally this will relate to the rear wheel. Single Wall Rims: Refers to the inner wall of the rim itself. Single wall rims are your standard rim, with only one horizontal wall. Double Wall Rims: This means you have two horizontal walls in your rim, which, means more strength.
The shapes in which these walls and ribs run can vary, but if it says double wall, you can expect it to be much higher quality than a single wall rim.
