BMX Bikes FAQs
What is a BMX bike?
A BMX bike is an all terrain bicycle that was created in the 1970s by
youths modifying their dragster bicycles to emulate motocross riders so
they too could jump and make aggressive turns. This is why BMX stands for Bicycle Moto Cross (X). Over
the years, the material and geometry has been refined, to make a strong
BMX bike that could withstand more punishment and perform
better. As BMX evolved, so did the bikes, with the modern BMX bike being
even more light weight while still remaining very strong. Now you can
get a cheap BMX bike without having to replace parts straight away.
There are many different styles of BMX bikes to suit all types of BMX
disciplines. Whether you are looking to buy a BMX bike to ride
freestyle at the skatepark, street or the trails, we recommend any of

Are BMX bikes good for beginners?
BMX bikes are single geared, with robust components and durable, wide tires, which means they are much easier to control for a beginner rider.
