What is the difference between a normal bike and a bmx bike?

Answer 1

A BMX bike is made to race on a dirt track. It will probably have knobby tires, and only a rear brake. A freestyle bike is made for trick riding. It will probably have "street" tires, front and rear brakes and a "rotor" that will allow the rider to spin the handlebars without tangling the cables. Freestyle bikes may also be heavier because the frames sometimes have stands on the top tube and pegs on the axles so trick riders have multiple places to stand on the bike while doing tricks.

Answer 2

mostly the feel is the biggest difference and also the wait, race bike are lighter. and race bike are made for speed and jumps, freesyle is the same as flatgroung just search flatgroung bmx on Google ull find it. umm i cant really think of more but the overall use is different and that's about it, hope i could help :-)

Answer 3

Answer 4

A true childrens bike will have all the parts adapted to size, brake levers, crank arm length, handle bar width, saddle size etc.

A BMX although its small overall size can very well be intended to be ridden by adults, so it can have long cranks, a wide handlebar ASO.

While a kid may well be able to straddle a BMX, this isn't proof that the bike fits the kid.

Answer 5

A BMX is more like a piece of sports equipment, it's mostly ridden standing up and not really used for transportation. A normal bike can be ridden while seated and isn't good for tricks and jumps.

Note: peoples opinion about what is actually a normal bike can vary from one person to another.

Answer 6

They are made for free style and tricks and you can also free ride them and regular bikes are for regular riding.

Answer 7

Freestyle is a type of riding, mainly featuring different tricks and some (smallish) jumps.
