What Are BMX Wheels?

The wheels enable your BMX to move, meaning they significantly influence your ride and play a vital part when executing stunts or competing against rivals on the racetrack. Freestyle BMX wheels are constructed to be robust and long-lasting to endure the intense impacts of freestyle riding. Conversely, race BMX wheels are crafted to be as lightweight as possible, allowing you to soar over the track.

The Various Components of a BMX Wheel

When selecting a new wheel, it is essential to consider the various parts like the hub, spokes, rims, and axles. All individual components can be obtained separately and assembled by yourself if you are up for the challenge. Alternatively, you can opt for the more convenient choice of purchasing a pre-assembled wheel set, which is largely a standard approach.

What Size BMX Wheels Should I Choose?

Opt for wheels that provide the most enjoyable and comfortable riding experience. The standard size for both freestyle and race disciplines is typically a 20-inch diameter, but depending on the discipline, you might prefer larger or smaller options. For children's models, sizes begin as small as 14 inches. Naturally, when purchasing wheels, it's crucial to ensure they do not interfere with your frame and are compatible with your tyres.
