BMX Seating Gear for your Bike

Explore our BMX seating section where you'll discover our range of BMX seats, seat posts, and seat clamps. It's crucial to ensure these components are compatible with one another. For example, a pivotal seat must be paired with a pivotal seat post.

Attaching a BMX Seat: What You Need to Know

BMX seats can be mounted using five distinct systems: pivotal, combo, rail, tripod, and stealth. Each type has its own method of attachment to the seat posts. Nevertheless, the installation of the seat post onto the frame is generally consistent.

Certain frames feature a built-in seat clamp at the top of the seat tube. If your frame doesn't include this, you'll require one to secure the seat post to the frame. Use a hex key to loosen the clamp, slide it onto the seat tube, insert the seat post into the frame, and then tighten the clamp to set the seat at your desired height. Race BMX bikes often have a "quick-release" seat clamp, letting you adjust the seat height with ease, no tools needed.

Selecting the correct seat post involves measuring the inner diameter of your frame's seat tube—the standard is 25.4 mm, but it's always wise to verify. Once measured, you should select a seat post matching that diameter. If both the seat post and frame are constructed from aluminum or steel, a light application of grease on the seat post can help prevent oxidation or binding due to friction.
