BMX Seats

Exploring the Various Styles of Freestyle BMX Seats

BMX seats, crafted to be compact and endure impacts, often have an upward tilt and are positioned low. This design facilitates gripping the saddle between the thighs during stunts. The primary seat categories for BMX include pivotal, tripod, railed, and combo.

Pivotal seats are secured with a single bolt that passes through the seat's top. This type of BMX bicycle seat allows for angle adjustment to suit personal preferences. Tripod BMX seats, however, are fixed beneath and do not permit angle alterations.

Combo seats, or integrated seats, are affixed to the seat post, forming a single unit that cannot be detached. Railed BMX seats, sometimes called "micro-adjust seatposts," feature two rails beneath the saddle, offering substantial stability to the rider.

Understanding the Firmness of Race BMX Seats

Race BMX seats are firm due to their infrequent use for sitting. These seats are slim, lightweight, and often crafted from plastic to minimise additional weight on the bike. During BMX racing, riders generally stand while pedalling, rendering a soft, thick leather seat unnecessary. The continued presence of BMX race seats serves primarily to shield the rider's backside when landing from a significant jump.
