Wheelie Bikes & Cruiser BMX Bikes

Defining BMX Cruiser Bikes

Wheelie bikes, known also as Cruiser BMX bikes or Big Wheels BMX, are the largest among BMX bikes. These bikes have bigger wheels than standard freestyle and race BMX, offering a profile similar to that of a mountain bike.

Just like typical BMX racing bikes, wheelie bikes are designed to be lightweight and have the ability to achieve maximum speeds. Despite their size, cruisers can endure all the tough impacts that a regular 20 inch BMX can handle. Wheelie bikes are highly adaptable; they have been staples in the racing scene for many years but have recently gained popularity in urban freestyle settings.

Determining the Appropriate BMX Cruiser Size

The larger dimension of wheelie bikes attracts taller and older riders seeking enhanced stability. To experience optimal riding, taller individuals should consider larger wheels. Cruiser bikes typically feature wheels measuring 24, 26, or 29 inches, with the top tube varying from approximately 21 to 24 inches.

Big Wheel Bikes - Ideal BMX for Casual Riding

Though engaging in tricks and stunts is enjoyable for everyone, there are times when a quick ride or leisurely cruise around the neighbourhood is all you need. BMX cruisers are perfect for this kind of riding. These big wheel bikes cover more ground and allow for faster speeds compared to their smaller counterparts. Nonetheless, since cruiser bikes still belong to the BMX category, standing up is necessary to generate peak power.
