BMX BIKE

If you don't like to ride on streets and sidewalks, but love to have bike races on dirt roads, do lots of tricks, and try some stunts, then a BMX bike is the perfect bike for you. A BMX bike looks similar to a motorcycle, but BMX bikes are made for racing, stunts and tricks; therefore, they do not have as many parts and they are very light.

BMX bike

Frame: The frame on the BMX bike is like a triangle. They have extra pieces to connect the tubes together so the bike can take heavier hits.

Gears: These bikes have only one fixed gear, so the bike is even lighter.

Tires: This type of bike has tires with very good traction so they can turn better.

Brakes: It also has three different kinds of brakes: a rear wheel brake, front wheel, and coaster brakes.

Wheels: The classic dirt bike has tiny twenty-inch wheels.
This makes the bike astonishingly lightweight.

Pedals: The pedals on a BMX racing bike are made of an alloy, a mixture of metals, so they will be very light.

Handle bars: It has high braced handlebars that slant to the back
