Wheelie Bikes & Cruiser BMX Bikes

Understanding BMX Cruiser Bikes

Wheelie bikes, often referred to as Cruiser BMX bikes or Big Wheels BMX, are the largest among all BMX bikes. They feature bigger wheels compared to the standard freestyle and race BMX, giving them an appearance much like a mountain bike.

Similar to typical BMX racing bikes, these are light and designed to achieve exceptional speeds. Despite their larger dimensions, cruisers are capable of handling all the robust impacts of a regular 20-inch BMX. Wheelie bikes offer versatile uses. They have been part of the racing landscape for years, but have recently gained prominence in urban freestyle riding.

Determining the Right Size BMX Cruiser Bike for You

The larger size of wheelie bikes appeals to taller and more mature riders who desire enhanced stability. For the optimal riding experience, taller individuals should opt for larger wheels. Cruiser wheels are generally available in 24, 26, or 29 inches, with top tubes typically ranging from about 21 to 24 inches.

Big Wheel Bikes - Ideal BMX for Cruising

Although everyone relishes performing tricks and stunts, there are times when you simply want your BMX for a brief outing or a leisurely ride around the neighbourhood. BMX cruisers are particularly well-suited for this type of riding. These big wheel bikes offer the capability to cover greater distances more swiftly than smaller models. However, as cruiser bikes are still a form of BMX, you'll need to stand to generate maximum power.
