BMX BikesBMX bicycles are designed for stunts, tricks, and racing on hilly dirt BMX tracks. Race bike frames can be made out of aluminium, or steel, usually 4130 chromoly. The front and rear axles are 3/8" thick. They almost always have v-brakes, thinner chains, more aggressive, low pressure dirt tires, sometimes less spokes, and still widely use larger gearing than all other forms of BMX bikes. On most freestyle BMX bikes, the front wheel has 36 spokes, but some more abusive riders use 48 spoke front wheels, because they are stronger. The same goes for rear wheels. A lot of bikes use 36 spokes, most commonly on dirt jumping bikes. But 48 spoke rear wheels are very common, especially on street bikes, as they have to withstand harsher and more frequent impacts. Race BMX bikes wheels can vary in size, from 20" to 24". Dirt jumping and freestyle bikes wheel sizes include 16" and 18" for younger, smaller riders, 20" for most other riders, and a few companies including Haro and Sunday have even made 24" freestyle bikes for taller or older riders who feel cramped on a standard 20" BMX bike.
