How to Buy a BMX Bike
No Comments
It may be nice having so many companies to choose from but it also can make it even more difficult for you to make a decision on which one to go with. Choosing a brand, however, is the least of your problems and you should also think about these factors listed below.
Style – There are quite a few different styles of BMX bicycles to consider and each one is unique in their own way. Racing bikes are usually lean and aerodynamic; freestyle bikes are often lightweight and durable. Other types of BMX include trick and dirt jump styles.
Construction – All bikes are not made equally. Some cycles are constructed from quality materials like Chromoly or even carbon fiber, and these are considered to be the best. The cheaper models are often made from aluminum or other types of low-grade steel.
Weight - Weight plays a big factor in how well you perform on your bike. The lighter the bike, the easier it is to control. Anything less than 30 pounds is ideal for both racing and freestyle. The lightest BMX bicycles usually weigh between 23 and 25 pounds.
Size – The last thing to keep in mind when you’re shopping for a new bike is the size. BMX bikes come in plenty of sizes from as small as twelve inches to as large as 24 inches. The standard size for adults is 20 inches, for teens it is either 18 or 16 inches, and for kids it is 12 to 14 inches.
