If you’re thinking of heading down to the local BMX track to give racing a go, it is highly recommended to first speak with one of the friendly, race-knowledgeable staff at LUXBMX, or read this guide. This is important in that there are many options when it comes to the suite of best BMX race bikes on offer, so you want to get it right. Most people getting to BMX racing have an idea of what a BMX bike looks like, though in reality, BMX race bikes do come in different sizes, scaled up, and down, to suit children from as young as 3 years old, up to adults, or adult sized children While the wheel size is predominantly 20 inches, they can drop down to 18 inches, and go up to 24 inches for the cruiser class.
Then there are variables depending upon your ability. A beginner level teenager may have very different requirements to that of an intermediate level child. This will benefit your experience and contribute to an improved ability to refine your skills, increase coordination and speed as well as maintain your safety to the greatest extent. LUXBMX has BMX race bikes for all levels of ability and size of rider.
LUXBMX offers a wide selection of BMX race bikes which aim to complement an array of abilities and budgets. While BMX race bikes vary in size and quality, with the associated cost similarly varying, there are options for entry level junior race bikes starting at $599 up to mid-range expert and pro level race bikes at approximately $1500 and leading up to the highest quality pro level race bikes at $2999. While prices can change over time and differ between brands, LUXBMX suggests an expectation generally in the range as above. If not suited to your budget, feel free to get in touch with the friendly staff at LUXBMX to discuss alternative solutions.
As you gain experience and speed as you race more, you may see some BMX race bikes that look like nothing that you can see here on our website as a complete BMX race bike that you can buy. These are what is known as custom race BMX bikes and are built using components available from our store. Usually starting with a frame, the customer identifies specific parts they require which allows them to customise things like crank length, handlebar height and build a set of wheels with carbon rims and titanium spokes. Custom BMX race bikes are usually built by customers looking to compete at the highest level of BMX racing in Australia and can see the price of the bike creep up. But if you are just starting out, one of the complete BMX race bikes that you can see on our website will suit your needs perfectly.
There are many awesome BMX racing brands which supply high quality and race-specific products, for kids and adults of all abilities and sizes. While it may seem daunting if you’re in the market for the first time, there are a range of reputable BMX racing brands which LUXBMX has handpicked and made available for you. We aim to make the process of buying race bikes as easy, enjoyable and friendly as possible.
The brands which we have curated over the years that encompass the traits that we hold in high regard include DK and Chase, two brands that supply a race bike for those just getting into club racing, up to racers competing at state and national level events. Other brands that we have brought on board in recent times are two European brands, Inspyre from France and Meybo from the Netherlands. If you have watched any BMX racing from Europe, you would see these two later brands dominating the gates.
A BMX bike generally refers to a freestyle BMX bike which is designed to handle the stress of big jumps and the difficulties of modern concrete skateparks, essentially to take the brunt of a more vertical assault. A racing bike however is designed to go fast and be ridden in a much smoother (generally horizontal) environment, requiring a lighter build and a range of nuanced differences such as clip-in pedals, carbon accessories as well as distinct geometry. As such, it is recommended that when racing, a race specific BMX bike be chosen. This will improve the experience and keep you stoked for longer!
BMX racing grew out of America in the 1970s with the kids imitating their MX heroes by ripping around empty dirt lots on dragsters which had 20 inch wheels. From there they modified and upgraded their bikes with MX style handlebars and stiffening the frames, which kept breaking as they jumped further. From there, entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to produce the first BMX race bikes as we recognise today. One thing that stayed the same was the 20 inch wheel size. The 20 inch wheel bike was smaller, lighter and most importantly, stronger. It allowed BMX racers to take on bigger jumps and get their feet down in the corners. As track design changed over the years, the best BMX bike for racing came to handle higher speed by being built a little longer than those original BMX bikes from the 70s and 80s. The BMX race bikes you see at the Olympic games have a 20 inch wheel, but look vastly different to the 80’s BMX race bikes, but don’t look too different to the PRO sized bikes you can find on our store.
In the BMX racing arena, professionals will ride a range of different BMX bikes, however most likely a pro-level bike which is essentially based around two key metrics being a 20 inch wheel size and a top-tube length of between 20.5 to 22 inches. Within these bounds exist varying brands and colours which largely come down to personal preference or perhaps sponsorship allegiances. Further, there also exists a range of different standards to choose from, including entry level to mid-range up to premium offerings. At the end of the day, most BMX race professionals would suggest it’s not the racing bike, rather the riders physical and mental skills which are more important.
