BMX Seating Parts

BMX Seating Gear for your Bike

In our BMX seating section, you'll discover our range of BMX seats, seat posts, and seat clamps. The key point to consider is that these various components must be compatible with one another. For example, a pivotal seat will function only with a pivotal seat post.

How Do you Secure a BMX Seat?

There are five distinct mounting systems associated with BMX seats: pivotal, combo, rail, tripod, and stealth. The method to attach them to their respective seat posts varies for each type. Nonetheless, the process of installing the seat post on the frame is mostly uniform.

Certain frames come with an integrated seat clamp at the top of the seat tube. If yours lacks this, you will require a seat clamp to secure the seat post to your frame: first, loosen the clamp with a hex key, then slide it onto the seat tube. Next, insert the seat post into the frame and tighten the clamp to set the seat at your preferred height. In race BMX bikes, there's also a type of seat clamp called "quick-release," which facilitates seat height adjustment without the need for tools.

To select the correct seat post, measure the inner diameter of the seat tube on your frame—commonly 25.4 mm, though it's always wise to double-check. Once you have this measurement, select a seat post of the corresponding diameter. If the seat post and frame are constructed from aluminium or steel, it is advisable to apply a light coat of grease to the seat post to prevent oxidation or binding due to friction.
