BMX bicycles are specially designed so as to stand numerous shocks and strains. They are of two types, that is free style and the racer style. The free style type is heavier, stronger and is able to stand harsh conditions as opposed to the racer style which is not able to stand harsh conditions.

The racer type of BMX bicycles are lighter in weight. This is to enable the racer to accelerate. Their tires are of knobby type and they have excellent rear brakes to enable the cyclist apply brakes abruptly if there is need. The free style type is heavier and much stronger. It is able to bear heavy loads sufficiently.

BMX bicycles are made from aluminum alloys or aluminum. These metals are are lighter. They do not rust, have the required strength. Their prices are determined by their weight. The lighter the bicycle the higher their price. They are shaped in such a way that a rider is able to sit comfortably so as to avoid air resistance.

These kind of bikes have wheel whose diameter is 20 inches. However, the cruiser bike wheels are larger, they are 25 inches. The handle bars of these kind of bikes also vary. There are upright bars, small saddle bars, and longer cranks. These bars have a good padding around them. The brakes of these bikes are situated behind the handle bars. they work on a vertical pulling mechanism. The harder you pull them, the more immediate the brakes and the lighter you pull the the slower the brakes.
