BMX Freestyle Bikes

What is a BMX Freestyle Bike?

Designed for executing tricks, jumps, and stunts, freestyle BMX bikes can be used on streets or at skate parks. These bikes, also known as BMX trick bikes, are distinguished by their large handlebars and small, thick tyres.

Constructed to endure the impacts associated with BMX riding in this style, these bikes boast strong and sturdy frames. Typically crafted from highly durable Chromoly or Hi-Ten steel, they are heavier compared to lightweight race BMX bikes.

Styles Within Freestyle BMX

Over time, freestyle BMX has broadened to encompass various styles. Despite their differences, there are no strict rules and a considerable overlap exists among these styles.

STREET BMX

Street BMX involves performing tricks and stunts in urban environments, in a manner similar to skateboarding and skating. Riders utilise objects like rails and kerbs to grind and perform stunts while street riding.

PARK BMX

Typically taking place in skate parks, park BMX focuses on executing tricks using obstacles such as ramps and rails. These activities occur in multifunctional skate parks or specialised arenas designed for BMX bikes.

VERT BMX

In vert BMX, the objective is to perform stunts and air tricks on a vert ramp, which resembles a large half-pipe with a vertical top section. Riders traverse from one side of the half-pipe to the other, seeking maximum air time to execute various tricks. It is often considered the most extreme and challenging style of freestyle BMX.

FLATLAND BMX

Flatland BMX involves performing tricks and spins on flat surfaces, without the use of ramps and rails. It is frequently regarded as the most artistic of all freestyle styles. Many flatland riders also participate in other types of freestyle riding.
