What Are BMX Frames?
The BMX bike frame is the largest and most expensive component of your BMX setup. It significantly influences your riding style and progression as a rider. Both freestyle and BMX race frames feature the classic diamond shape, but race frames are longer for added stability.
Freestyle BMX bike frames are designed to be durable and sturdy to withstand hard impacts, typically made from steel. In contrast, race frames are built to be as lightweight as possible and are usually constructed from aluminum.
What BMX Frame Size Should I Get?
BMX frames come in various sizes. The frame size you choose is ultimately a personal preference, but generally, the taller you are, the larger your frame should be.
Frame sizes are typically measured by the length of their top tube, expressed in inches for freestyle frames. Race BMX frames, however, are categorized into "frame names" starting with Mini and extending up to Pro XXXXL.
In addition to the top tube length, the headtube angle is another factor that can affect the overall feel of the bike. A steeper angle brings the front wheel closer, making front-end tricks easier, while a mellower angle positions the wheel further away, offering more control at high speeds. If you're unsure of your preference, go for the industry standard, between 74° and 76°, for a neutral setting.
What Is the BMX Chainstay?
The BMX chainstay is the length measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the rear axle. The rear axle can be fully inserted in the rear dropout (slammed, the shortest chainstay possible) or positioned in the middle of the dropout (center). The chainstay is a crucial aspect of your frame that impacts your bike’s handling. Chainstay lengths typically range between 12 and 14 inches.
A shorter chainstay is preferred by park and street riders who seek a more responsive setup, enabling fast spins and sharp turns. Trail riders favor a longer rear end for increased stability and control.
