Types of BMX Bikes at ERIK'S

BMX bikes can be divided into categories based on their distinct features and uses. Here are the four most common types of BMX-style bikes:

Freestyle BMX Bikes

If you’re all about the tricks and stunts, a freestyle bike will allow you to develop your own signature style. They have durable frames and secure pegs to help you pull off gravity-defying moves at the skatepark.

Race BMX Bikes

These aerodynamic, lightweight bikes are best suited for riders with a need for speed. If you’re primarily interested in high-speed track racing, a racing bike will help you leave the competition in the dust.

Dirt BMX Bikes

Dirt BMX bikes are made for riders who can’t get enough rough terrain and off-road antics. They feature stout, reinforced frames that enable them to withstand the intense forces you’ll be subjecting them to as you carve your way through desert hills and muddy mountain trails.

Street BMX Bikes

The sleek yet savage street bike is designed to excel in an urban environment. With grind-ready components and frames made from some of the toughest materials available, they’re a prime pick for the weekend warrior.

Key Features to Consider When Buying a BMX Bike

Once you’ve decided what type of BMX bike you want, it’s time to start zeroing in on specific features. Here’s what our experts recommend looking for:

Frame Material

Different materials offer different benefits. Speed demons who need something lightweight should opt for aluminum, while rough riders looking for strength and durability should go with chromoly.

Wheel Size

Most BMX wheels have a standard size of 20 inches. However, some riders prefer larger or smaller wheels depending on how they like to bike. 

Gearing

Single-speed setups are ideal for BMX since they simplify the ride and let you focus on managing other aspects of the bike for total control.

Braking System

BMX bikes usually have U-brakes or disc brakes. U-brakes will often lower the price of the bike and aren’t as hard to maintain, while disc brakes boast superior stopping power and are perfect for muddy or wet terrain. 

Handlebar and Stem

The handlebar and stem are important for keeping you comfortable while you ride. You want to ensure they’re at a good height for your riding style and give you plenty of room to maneuver.

Tires

BMX tires have varying tread patterns that offer different benefits between street, park, and dirt rides. Street tires are designed for smooth surfaces, while dirt tires afford optimal grip, and park tires marry the two.

Frequently Asked Questions About BMX Bikes

Left with a few lingering questions about buying a new BMX bike? Check out these answers to some of the questions we get most often:

What Size BMX Bike Should I Get?

Take your height and riding style into account to select a bike that feels comfortable in all the right ways. We recommend checking out our helpful buying guide to get started.

Are Freestyle and Racing Bikes Different?

Yes. In fact, they’re designed to do completely different things. Freestyle BMX bikes are typically used to perform tricks, while racing bikes are built with gum-flapping speed in mind.

What Maintenance Do BMX Bikes Require?

Typical bike maintenance tasks like checking tire pressure and lubricating the chain are much more vital for BMX bikes. You’ll also want to keep an eye on the brakes to ensure your safety as you pedal past the limit.

How Do I Choose the Right Frame Material?

The “right” frame material will depend on your purpose and goals. Riders who focus more on tricks tend to prefer chromoly-based bike frames, while aluminum will likely be more desirable if you’re a racing enthusiast. Both are excellent choices—it all depends on what you want out of your bike.
