Choosing the Right Bmx - Ripping Up Trails, Getting Air or Serious Stunts!

So, you wanna buy a BMX bike hey? Good for you! What are you gonna do with your bike? Are you gonna rip along dirt trails or race your friends on the BMX track? Are you gonna show off, doin’ some serious stunts on the streets of your neighborhood or down at the local skate park? Or are you searching for some big air, jumping ramps in the backyard? “Why does it matter?”, you ask. Well, you want to buy the right bike, don’t you?

Yes, that’s right. BMX bikes come in different styles for different uses. Generally you can put them into three classes:

Your everyday racing BMX

Freestyling BMX bikes

Dirt jump BMX bikes.

The racing style BMX is probably the most common BMX bike. These bikes are great for racing along dirt trails or up and down the jumps and berms of the race track. They feature knobby tires for getting a grip on the slippery terrain, a strong, lightweight frame and a strong rear brake to pull you up when you need to stop.

The freestyle BMX is the most popular bike down at the skate park. They have really strong frames designed to take the punishment that their fearless riders dish out on a daily basis. To match the strong frame, they also need some strong wheels, and as the tires are usually in the air or on the pavement, they aren’t as knobby as their racing cousins. And as these bikes are built for tricks and stunts, they’ll have axle pegs sticking out from the hubs on the back and front wheels.

The dirt jumping bike is virtually a cross between the racing and freestyle bike. They have the very sturdy frames of the freestyle bikes while having the knobby tires of the racing bikes. As the name suggests, they are built for jumping but they are also handy on the trails as well.

So, once you have chosen the style of riding you want to do, you’ll be able to narrow down your choice of bike to one of these three types. If you’re a beginner, then you may want to go for a racing BMX as these allow you to get out on the track and will have you learning the basics in no time.

When you know what sort of riding you want to do, then you’ll have to consult your bank balance to see how much you can spend. As BMXing has become such a highly specialized sport, then you can pay a lot of money for a great BMX with really hot components. Not everyone will be able to afford a top notch bike straight up, but with today’s huge range, you’re sure to find a great bike within your budget.

Whether you’re tearing up the tracks and trails, hitting the pavement with some radical new tricks or jumping that wobbly, home made ramp in the backyard, you’re sure to find a BMX to suit your style…and your budget.
