Wheelie Bikes & Cruiser BMX Bikes

Defining BMX Cruiser Bikes

Wheelie bikes, also recognised as Cruiser BMX bikes or Big Wheels BMX, stand as the largest variant among BMX bikes. Their wheels are bigger when contrasted with conventional freestyle and race BMX, resembling more closely that of a mountain bike.

Similar to standard BMX racing models, they are crafted to be lightweight, allowing them to attain maximum speeds possible. Despite their increased dimensions, cruisers are still durable enough to handle all the heavy impacts akin to a standard 20-inch BMX. Wheelie bikes offer versatility in their use. While they've long been a staple in the racing world, they have now found recognition in urban freestyle riding.

Choosing the Right BMX Cruiser Bike Size

Owing to their larger size, wheelie bikes have garnered popularity among taller and older riders desiring enhanced stability. To maximise your riding experience, choose larger wheels if you are taller. Cruiser wheels typically measure 24, 26, or 29 inches, with the top tube varying from about 21 to 24 inches.

Big Wheel Bikes - Ideal BMX for Leisure Rides

Even though performing tricks and stunts is enjoyable for all, sometimes you might just need your BMX for a brief commute or a leisurely spin around your local area. BMX cruisers are ideal for this style of riding. These big wheel bikes facilitate quicker rides and allow you to span more distance compared to smaller models. Nonetheless, cruiser bikes remain a type of BMX, thus requiring you to stand for maximum power output.
