What to look for in a Single Speed BMX

1. Tyres:

Different tread patterns and sizes cater to specific riding styles. Smooth tyres are best for street riding, while knobby tyres are ideal for off-road adventures. Check out our blog post on wheel sizes for more info.

2. Handlebars:

The style of handlebars greatly influences control and manoeuvrability. From classic U-shaped bars to taller, wider options, choose based on your comfort and the type of tricks you aim to perform.

3. Frame:

The frame is the backbone of any BMX bike. Look for durability and material composition. Chromoly frames are popular for their strength-to-weight ratio, providing resilience for tricks and stunts.

4. Saddle Angle:

The angle of the saddle affects riding comfort. Adjustable angles allow customisation based on personal preference, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic riding position.

5. Brakes:

While some BMX riders prefer a brakeless setup for tricks, having reliable brakes is crucial for safety. Ensure the brakes are responsive and easy to control.

Single Speed BMX FAQ

  • Where should I ride my single Speed BMX?

    Skate parks with ramps and rails are great for trick enthusiasts, providing a dynamic space to showcase your skills. Urban streets become a playground for weaving through alleys and tackling curbs, making use of the bike's responsiveness in city environments. Dive into off-road excitement on dirt trails and BMX tracks, where the sturdy construction of the Single Speed BMX allows you to confidently navigate bumps and jumps. Pump tracks offer a unique challenge, relying on momentum and body movements for a fluid ride. Even empty parking lots transform into expansive arenas for practicing tricks and perfecting balance.

  • Should I buy a single speed BMX or a multi-speed BMX?

    Single Speed BMX bikes offer simplicity and ease of use, making them ideal for riders focused on tricks, jumps and urban exploration. Their straightforward design requires less maintenance and provides a direct connection between the rider and the bike. On the other hand, Multi-Speed BMX bikes offer greater versatility for riders who plan to tackle different terrains. Geared options provide the flexibility to adapt to different riding conditions, making them suitable for those exploring off-road trails or engaging in longer rides.

  • Are single speed BMX bikes good for long distance?

    Single Speed BMX bikes are not typically designed for long-distance rides. These bikes excel in short bursts of speed, agility and manoeuvrability, making them ideal for tricks, jumps and urban exploration. The lack of multiple gears simplifies the design, offering a direct and responsive connection between the rider and the bike.

  • Are single speed BMX bikes good for going uphill?

    Single Speed BMX bikes are not typically designed for uphill climbs. These bikes prioritise agility and maneuverability, making them ideal for tricks and jumps on flat terrains. The gear ratio on a Single Speed BMX is optimised for quick acceleration and short bursts of speed, which may make climbing uphill a challenging task. If your riding plans involve frequent uphill routes, a Multi-Speed BMX or a different type of bike with multiple gears would be a more suitable choice, providing the versatility needed to tackle varied terrains with ease.
