Which size Freestyle BMX fits me?
The right BMX size depends on your height and age. The standard wheel size is 20 inches, but the top tube length varies:
| Body length | Top tube (TT) | Recommended BMX |
|---|
| 120–140 cm | 18" – 19.5" | Kids BMX (16–18 inch wheels) |
| 140–160 cm | 19.5" – 20.25" | Junior Freestyle BMX |
| 160–180 cm | 20.25" – 21" | Medium / Adult BMX |
| 180+ cm | 21"+ | Pro-size Freestyle BMX |
Not sure? Then 20.5" top tube is a safe all-round choice for most riders.
What do you need to get started with Freestyle BMX?
Of course you start with a good Freestyle BMX bike, but the right equipment is at least as important:
Safety always comes first. If you are well protected, you can start your first tricks with confidence.
Buying a Freestyle BMX – what to look for
- Choose a size that fits your height
- Pay attention to frame weight and material (aluminum is lighter)
- Check if pegs and gyro are included
- Choose your style: Street, Park, Dirt or Flatland
- Start with an entry-level model as a beginner and upgrade later
