Types of BMX Bikes:
When you're shopping around, it's important to pick the right BMX bike for your intended ride style. Here are some things to consider:
Size: One of the most important aspects of choosing a bike is ensuring it's the right size. The top tube that connects the front of the bike to the seat and wheels should be around 20-inches for most riders.
Frame Material: A lighter alloy or aluminum frame will give you height on jumps and be easier to maneuver in parks and on the street, while a steel frame is built for durability.
Style: BMX racing bikes will have lighter frames and a heavier tread on the tire to grip the dirt. Comparatively, freestyle BMX bikes are made with maneuverability so you can easily hit tricks at skateparks or on the street.
