Wheelie Bikes & Cruiser BMX Bikes

What Are BMX Cruiser Bikes?

Wheelie bikes, also known as Cruiser BMX bikes or Big Wheels BMX, represent the largest category among BMX bikes. Their wheels are bigger than those of typical freestyle and race BMX bikes, giving them an appearance akin to a mountain bike.

Comparable to standard BMX racing bikes, they maintain a lightweight design and are constructed for optimal speeds. Even with their larger form, cruisers can handle all the hefty impacts that a conventional 20-inch BMX can endure. Wheelie bikes offer versatility in their use; they have been integral to the racing scene for many years, yet they have also become linked with urban freestyle riding recently.

What Size BMX Cruiser Bike Do I Require?

The increased dimensions of wheelie bikes appeal to taller and older riders who desire more stability. For the best riding experience, taller individuals should consider larger wheels. Cruiser wheels typically come in sizes of 24, 26, or 29 inches, with the top tube length varying from approximately 21 to 24 inches.
