- Buying a complete BMX bike can be a real hassle. If you are in the market for a new bike watch this video where we break down the main differences in BMX bikes and why they are different.
If you have any Questions please leave a comment
BMX has taken a technological boost in the last decade towards providing better quality materials which has kind of changed the market of hi tensile bmx bikes. At one time, bikes with a similar "low" side description were good but other materials and manufacture processes have affordably taken hold.
This has also made hi tensile bikes even more cheaper, since those cheaper materials are not widely used as much, you can no longer trust the quality of them. There isn't any demand for quality with those types of bikes so they don't have it anymore.
Thanks you all for watching & SUBSCRIBE for more BMX related content
My parents don't know the difference between "Walmart bikes" and a average bike.😢
+Andrew 2784 There is a mountain bike youtuber that took the nicest Walmart bike he could find down a trail. It broke before the bottom of the run.
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) yeah. I'm pretty sure I watched that and both of his brakes stopped working.🙄
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) and I was wondering if my weight affected what bike I should get?
+MinimaMinecraft Price will never tell you what it is made out of... In the product description for the bike it should say what the frame is made out of
+MinimaMinecraft Most of the time you can search the model online and get a full description.
im a mountain biker wanting to get a bmx and this helped me so much : )
+Henry C That's awesome. It's what we are here for. We dedicate ourselves to answer any questions and guide anyone into an enjoyable bmx experience.
Me too
Henry C if it has a high ten steel frame is completely ok, I’ve ridden one for 2 years and nothing is wrong or cracking, etc.
Me too
S.T. BMX and mountain biking are allies
After feeling down about my bmx, I watch this video and to my suprize I have a high end bike!
+TrendSet SB That's awesome!!!!!!!
my first bmx was high tensile steel and I learned 180, 360, barspins, grind tricks, and lots of other tricks worked fine for me
+LinkzTV That's what they are there for but it also depends on your style... Some people bail a lot as beginners and slam their bike down into grinds before they really learn them. I couldn't ride hi tensile when I was learning because I would bend frames like candy I was so rough. For me it was more beneficial to buy one chromoly bike that would last a couple years as opposed to going through 2 & 3 hi tensile frames a year.
My first bmx that i seriously rode was a wethepeople arcade 2014. It saw 540 s, barspins, gaps and sets too. After 5 years it only needed a rear rim replacement. Still i eventually upgraded with a better bmx aftermarket but still i ll keep the arcade for the sake of memories of what i started out woth
i know pros are riding free coasters but i'd go with a cassette any day.
Scotty Cranmer rides cassette
I ride cassette
But I hate the loud ass cassettes like Ryan Taylor's
Seth Stevenson same. I hate those really fucin loud cassettes
I know I’m really really late but can y’all explain what those are
@@dopenation1025 a free coaster makes it so you can roll backwards without having to pedal backwards a cassette is what most bikes have clicks as you roll along and engages straight away as you pedal or roll backwards
As a financier of my offspring's bmx endeavors, I find this video elucidative.
+jaybird702mpw That's exactly why I created it. I love your choice of words by the way.. Probably the most intelligent comment on this channel haha.
Sweet, i bought my first bmx 4 weeks ago, first time ever riding one 33 years of age, did some research and bought a "high" end bmx from the start, i bought one called "Definitive Strike 20" $600 i paid 👍 love it! Just bummed i didn't start riding bmx when i was younger! It's so damn fun
I've been riding a Walmart bike for 6 months everyday, no wonder my shit is falling apart
Kriminal Kostka rip
K Kostka my bmx bike is the highest quality.
JakeStillPlayz nigga doesn’t really matter if you play mine craft
yeah they only last 6 months to a year unless you ride it like a bitch...even then they fall apart.
im building my own bmx after having experienced my friends amazing 400$ built bmx
I didn't really like the colour scheme of the bike in the background
+BroMotion I ended up buying parts on sale prices not caring what the color was... Most of my bikes just end up crazy miss matches. Lol
Thanks for this video bro, I've been riding a old mongoose I've had for ten years. I'm just starting to wanna get serious and build my own bike. Thanks dude
Helpful vid. I might suggest it to some of the kids at my local park because I'm sick of them asking me stuff like this.
And if you're one of those kids, quit asking me a million annoying/pointless questions a day and quit asking me to do tricks for you. I'm not a fucking circus clown there for your personal entertainment, I'm there to ride.
Me watching this and thinking of the parts on my disabled dyno and going through what it's parts are made of, an emotional roller-coaster
My Sunday has a mostly high tensile steel frame. I love it.
+Satansarmy That's cool!
+Satansarmy Sunday is one of the top quality manufactrers.. Their products are definitely worth it.
you know it would be great if you could actually show pictures because I have no idea what hi tensel steel is or anything you show in this video
+Soulof Souls You can't visually tell the differences in them. If you want to go see what hi tensile steel look like, pick up anything you can find that is metal.
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) oh ok you could have said that in the video
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) alright
+Soulof Souls I apologize though... Basically along with this video I planned to have other in depth videos about certain terms but have not released them yet.
ah man its fine im just new to bikes and bmx and all that and im trying to get abmx but idk what type or brand is the best
i have a eastern growler 2012 and its still amazing to me
Dude thank you so much for this video you really took a lot of time to make this!!
+Graham Scoots (GangsterGamer) Thank you a ton! I thought about this one long and hard to make it easy & straight forward for everyone. And... As you can tell people still have lots of questions. Lol👍Cheers

Is this bmx good?
Depends. How tall are you?
I don't know if you are still replying to comments on here but I have a question. I'm looking to make my bike lighter and the best thing I can think of is to go out and buy a full chromoly frame. I have a custom kink curb. I would be happy with my bike just losing two pounds from that. Anything lower than that, I'm not going to waste the effort. The frame I am looking at is cult hawk.
Well, I'm planning to buy a Mongoose Legion L20 2017 it's hi Ten Steal, is it a good beginner's bike? I'm kinda new to this
nikhil verma l100
thanks for making this video it really helped me!! :)
+TB BMX That's awesome! Thank you 👍
I ride a fit co park xs I'm 5"7 180lb iv done flairs tailwhips and so far so good
im looking at getting one of the new high end gt performers when they come out. i cant wait
I started off with a crappy Walmart bike but I'm starting to get more into this but I can't find a well priced medium grade bmx bike.
free coaster and cassette is a personal choice
and when you have a free coaster you have about a 1/4th crank of slack so don't try to romp on it or you will hit your knees
and a free coaster needs more maintenance
We mentioned that it is a personal choice... Its just over there on that side of the list in the picture
Hey man I know I'm a little late to the video but do you think that a wethepeople justice or arcade is a good buy?
Hello quick question wondering if I can change out my complete frame for another frame online, thinking about changing my kink liberty frame for a cult crew frame thanks
Yo! Very nice and informative video! I've couple of questions if you don't mind me asking. Is Stolen Sinner 2015 for 500 euros still a good choice? Do you have any other suggestions for bikes in that price level?
your a life saver i was just about to buy a walmart bike

+Magfed Saint Honestly it's kind of outdated. Since you come from motocross you probably want a more study bike with sealed bearing and some chromoly in the frame material. Hi-tensile steel is not as strong as chromoly.
The BNC (Bmx News Channel) I understand but I don't really wanna blow the wallet just yet and I also found this kit it cosy like £400 but it seems worth it especially after say 6 months of practice.

awesome video bro now I know what to look for on a bike 😎👍
So my academy aspire is pretty good yay
I think the late 90s was the best time for BMX. BMX was thought of as just fad of the 80s and it seemed that way since it was nearly dead by 1989. but after 1995 there was a BMX renaissance. This could have been due to the rapid technological development of the mountain bike during the 90s which brought attention to all bikes in general. This along with the X Games brought on a resurging popularity of BMX. The point I was trying to make is that it seems that today you don't really have BMX bikes in the mid range that are all that great. You just have high end or cheap stuff now. Back in the late 90s a mid quality bike would have a full cromoly or aluminum alloy frame but have a one piece crank and three piece cranks were on higher end bikes. You are better off putting a one piece crank on a better quality frame than a cheap frame with a three piece just to make it look good.
Thanks
❤Thank you for the information
I own a wethepeople versus 2019 frame built with aftermarket eclat bars, wtp cranks, cult forks and alienation double walls with cult rear hub and eclat front hub
Nice! sounds like a solid build.
I have a "northrock mc2" is this bike any good? What are your thoughts on this bike? Any parts I should change? Any opinions are appreciated thanks!
The Northrock bike you are talking about is a base model bmx bike. It is perfect for beginners but if you plan to progress your riding, you may want to look into another bike that is full chromoly.. some cool parts to look at are things like Stems, handlebars, sprockets, seats.
Hey, I’m looking for a bike... I just want to start bmx, and am willing to spend 300-500 dollars, but like always, the cheaper the better (well most of the time)... I weigh about 80-90 pounds and am about 4’10-11. I’m in middle school, so I would be growing really quickly. Any size to recommend?
Grizz-Lee I got the moongoose legion l100 and is below $280 or $300 depending on the color but it has the specs you find on higher end bikes (who cares about the Walmart jokes those bikes are for lil kids learning how to ride)
Grizz-Lee I ride a 21 tt at 5’10 208lbs feels nice and I bet it’s large enough for your growth spurts
This might be a little late but is the Benny 3 by fitbikeco a good high bike or what's better for around the same price thanks and love this channel bro
Sorry I ment the Benny sig
+Josh Williams Thanks man I really appreciate it. I'm just finishing my shift at work. I will reply to your answer really soon! Really appreciate the good words!
Idk if your forgot or what but thanks
+Josh Williams I did. I'm sory. I'm all about answering everyone's questions. the comment section started blowing up yesterday after I told you I would get back to you.
+Josh Williams The Fit Benny Sig is a top model bike. Has all the new style parts on it and is about the closest thing you can get to a custom build bike. once I get home to my tablet I will see what other bikes are worth it in that price range..
I know a shit ton more now than I used to know. The only thing you left out was the different styles of spokes and if it matters for strength? Are the plastic pedals as good as the aluminum ones? Do those metal discs that protect the hub and spokes, does that come as part of the frame?
+Shaun Kelly All though you & I know what that stuff is, they are not "common" things you see in sale descriptions. I left little stuff like that out to try and not confuse parents or beginners. We plan to have more videos soon that should help...Thank you so much for your feedback!
- To answer your questions:
Types of spokes are not a big deal. The backbone of any strong BMX wheel is a quality rim and proper truing regardless of what spokes you have..
With pedals it's more of a preference. I personally ride plastic after riding metal for a long time and they are similar in reliability. If you grind a lot a plastic pedal can wear down really quick though.. Metal is heavier and can knock your shins harder so it really preference...
Those disks that protect hubs are called grind guards. They are not part of frames but they are sold and installed for hubs.. They slide over the axle or install onto the hub. We have a video that can give you a general idea of a plastic grind guard called "Merritt Tension BMX Hub Guard".
I'm looking to get a Hutch Venom tmrw it's 100% fully chromoly it's on sale. Then I also seen a Fiend type o 2017 same price but it would be a "medium" I guess. Should I get the Hutch? Just after watching this seems better to get a full chromo bike
Is a Sunday blueprint a good starter bike?
Thanks
Nadim Selesnick Yes
Nadim Selesnick perfect starter
Hi guys, Im thinking of buying my first ever bmx bike and i was wondering if this is good for a beginner:
3 piece tubular chromoly crank
25/9 gearing with cassette rear hub
Double wall alloy rims with 2.25" Grey wall tyres
Intergrated seat and seatpost
Chromoly rear axle
Sealed bottom bracket
Thanks :)
I'm 25 I just started
I’m new to BMX for the purpose of flatland practice, also my head toe height 5’6” and a Leg length 2’6”, may I have a recommended list of bikes. thanks.
Well hi-ten steel is pretty strong and can handle just as much as chromolly but is very heavy so when you get a light bike made of hi-ten steel it's weak so combining the two is a pretty good idea because you can use thinner chromolly tubes and thicker steel tubes for about the same weight and full chromolly is the best there is because it's durable and lightweight
+ricky spanish Very educated comment. I've been trying explain to people that Hi tensile steel can be just as strong but not when made into a lighter weight bike such as chromoly. One thing I have noticed over the years is the weld combining both metals in a partial chromoly frame crack a lot soon than you should expect.
The BNC (Bmx News Channel) true I recently got a 2017 gt performer and the frame is half chromolly half steel it can take a beating but I'm currently looking for a better frame because the rear triangle is already bending also the only good Walmart bike was full chromolly but isn't made anymore the mongoose mode 540 was the best bike for the price but still isn't the best sry it took so long to reply I never got a notification on my phone
I have a 2016 Sunday am in the black color is it good?
Yes
Whats a good starter bike for around 350$-450$ im looking for decent enough quality for beginners and mostly chromoly. Im 13 and 5'10 almost 6' soon so
Shramp wethepeople curse 2017 what I have and it's the best
imma1star u know that chromoly is not a color right?
what do you think about the SE Bikes Everyday or Hoodrich as a beginner bmx?
Do you think a 2017 fiend embryo type o would be good for a beginner?
I need help badly...I'm not to bothered about bike specs, along as it can survive highish drops (for example going of high surfaces to low or bunny hops) and not get damaged then I'm good with it, I need a bike that has a coloured chrome frame, Preferably a rainbow color chrome frame or green chrome, what would be the cheapest I could get a bike like this for?
I need a guide for all the single parts, how to fix them, what to look out for.
Can't really find good Vids on that :/
Any suggestions on what could molted I should get? I'm a beginner and I stand at 5'11
How about this i'm 6 feet and 0.44 inches tall,
I'm rlly new to BMX and I need some help. (give me tips Plz)

Bnc I have a question, please reply. What is the Price Media of a Medium bike and other question I'm 11 years old do you recommend me to start with BMX?
+Héctor MeRa Yes start with bmx. It's always fun at any age.. The average prices of a medum bike are near $275- $400 USD..
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) Thank you, I'll get a BMX bike :)
Please can u help me out? I am looking to buy a GT Slammer bmx is it any good for 250 euros. I want to ride it on street skateparks and stuff like that so do u got any suggestion?
Is the 2016 ACADEMY DESIRE 20" COMPLETE BIKE a good bike for intense Pokemon Go and dirt riding?
+Edward Tutor It will help you slay Pokémon GO! Lol. It will hold up some big dirt riding too.
Hey man my bike is full hi tensil steel but the most important parts are integrated headset, mid bottom bracket seal bearings, and rear seal Casset hub but front unsealed hub is my bike on a medium strength bike. I pay less than $300?
u are not the only bmx chanal
+Patrick Connolly We didn't say we are the only bmx channel... We said we are the one and only named "freestyle Bmx News Channel" on TH-cam and we are actually correct about that.
ok sty u are right
I am kinda new to bmx... i have a semi decent one but im looking for an upgrade in your honest opinion is the 2016 FIT DUGAN 1 BIKE (TOM DUGAN) good for 399.99?
+Jack Ivins The 2016 Fit Dugan is not a bad choice but if you are wanting to upgrade I suggest switching to a full Chromoly set up. For around $400 you can have the "Kink Whip" which is a lot more bike and a lot more strength than the Fit dugan.
thanks man
I'm starting to learn some BMX tricks
The bike I have has a cromoly downtube
Is that bad for what I'm using it for?
No more heavy Diamond back for me, custom is the way forward .
Is 20 SUNDAY BLUEPRINT 20.5 BLACK good enough for medium quality ? plss reply me ! Hi-Ten Integrated Headtube. Semi-Sealed 9T. Forward- Low-Flange Looseball 36H
So the cassette hub ? Is that a hub that will pedal backwards and do you need a hand brake with that?
+Robert Cheney Yes a cassette hub will free wheel pedal backwards. There is no brake built into cassette hubs.
Please help which should I choose. Wethepeople Trust Cassette version or Stranger Crux
THANK YOU!!!!
I'm trying to get back into bmx... I'm 6'4 so is there a recommendation on what I could get?
+Razorneck You should choose a bike with at least a 21.5" top tube. You can also get a 24" wheel BMX bike. Taller riders get them because they can fit better and still feel like a traditional BMX bike.
my bike is custom i built it out of different used parts, it has crmo forks bars and a crmo front triangle eastern frame with 48 spoke double wall wheels, sealed hubs headset and bb, with 48 spline cranks and a bashgaurd sprocket. it weighs 35 pounds but its and absolute tank and i love it
I know this video is kinda old but I just got into bmx and I was wondering what is Chromoly 4130? Does that mean it's full chromoly? The ones you recommended in the video? Thanks.
+_HamFam_ Chromoly 4130 a type of steel that is currently being used in bmx for frames, handlebars, & forks.. If a sale description only says Chromoly 4130 that it is mostly likely made from mostly chromoly... The other terms you will come across in cheaper bikes is "hi tensile steel or chromoly triangle".
So Chromoly 4130 is a material in the High section of the BMX complete bikes?
+_HamFam_ Yes.
I’m 5,2 please tell me what bike I should get I’ve never rode a Benz before
can you tell me what parts to buy first then last pleas i whant to start to bmx but i dont know where to start i whould appreciate you replying thnx!
+great lil cesar Building a bike is really fun. But can he pricey. Really you should just start by getting a frame. From there you can get other parts to put on it. These are my personal suggestions of what to generally buy together:
*Frame & Bottom Bracket bearings.
*Forks, headset bearings.
*Stem & Handlebars.
*Crank, Pedals & Chain
*wheels seat & seatpost.
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) thanks dude
Which complete setup should I chose if I need high.
+Mitya bozhko There are a ton of choices. Between all the high end bikes the ones that are most expensive are kind of gimmicks. Don't get me wrong, they are some of the best bikes out there, but their jacked up prices are because they offer the most popular/expensive parts like custom bikes.. If you don't know exactly what you want in a bike than a $1000 bike is a waste. You can pick a bike like the Kink Whip or Mongoose R120 and have a legitimate high end spec bike but with out the exclusive name brand parts which jack the price up.
I got a Mafia Kush2+, what would that be classed as it's got more medium parts then low but has got a hi tensil frame. What should I class it as?
What do you think about the Sunday Scout bike? Seems to have most of the positive things you have listed on their site but other sites dont have any info.
The Sunday Scout is a nice bike regarding parts. It comes with some really good parts. But the frame is mostly Hi-tensil steel. This bike is really nice. But for 20 more dollars you can have a full Chromoly bike from some other manufacturers.
which one is better without any upgrades? the subrosa tiro 2016 or the United Martinez expert 2016 ?
+Connor Helbing The 2016 United Martinez Expert is a lot better than the 2016 Tiro XL. The United Martinez comes with a full chromoly frame so hands down that bike is better than the Hi-tensile Tiro.
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) how much do they usually run for used?
+Connor Helbing Used bikes come is a very wide range of prices. Depends on the condition mostly. A clean bike with no scratches can run a little off of new but a heavily used and grinded bike can run for $50 no matter how expensive it originally was. All most new I would guess a few hundred, heavily used you could get one for $100 or 2.
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) ok i have a subrosa tiro should i get the frame for it(upgrade it) or should i get the other bike with no upgrades and it would cost used 250?
+Connor Helbing other bike aka martinez expert
I wanna get into bmx and in trying to find a starter bike do you think that a we the people nova is a good choice and if not what are some recommendations I'm lost here
Zilla I'm in the same position and I'm thinking of a moongoose title pro xl in I'm 5'11
if you want a wethepeople get the crs or curse its better nova is like someone that justs want a bmx and not doing tailwhips or flairs but the nova can still do some tricks
Damn, just bought me a hi ten steel bike because I never knew it would be weak. Does this mean I basically can’t try any tricks at all?
Watch other videos I have heard you can do little beginner tricks like 180s and stuff like that
The video is great
+moto games Thank You! Much appreciated!
Fantastic video thanks
hello, im thinking of buying a bmx for street riding, and i dont know what bike to get (a bike with street riding charicteristics), if you don't mind and you seem to know a lot about bmx, is there any peticular bike you can suggest? or you can tell me what type of frame, forks, etc... are the beat for street riding? thanks
I apologize for not replying to this message. there are so many questions flooding in lately that I miss a few of them.
For street riding you want a solid set up that won't bend or break easy.. some really good street tested brands are:
Bone Deth
Shadow Conspiracy
Odyssey BMX
S&M Bikes
FBM Bike co
Tree Bike co
To have a solid street set up you need basically everything in the "high" range of this video... freecoaster is optional. When It comes to parts, the best are things like hydroforming, thicker millimeter dropouts, parts with out weight saving cut outs... Kids these days want really light bikes but street set ups are a little heavier.. Most people have aluminium sprockets but I chose solid steel as my sprocket. stronger but heavier.. Message us on Instagram as well @bmxnewschannel
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) thanks for your response I has helped a lot in my decision and I will go and follow your instagram account.
thanks for taking time out of your day to awnser me: )
Thanks man
i'm a 25 year old male wanting to buy a bmx bike for the first time. i'm also 6'1 and ~250 lbs, what type of bmx should i get? i've looked on amazon and other online websites, but it seems as if most of the bmx bikes that are offered are for kids or unusable by me.
+Alejandro4891 Try looking into these sites:
Https://www.danscomp.com
Https://www.albes.com
Https://www.chainreactioncycles.com
I suggest a full Chromoly set up. But the size bike I recommend is at least a 21" Top Tube (TT). I am the same height as you and I ride a 21. The reason why I suggest spending the extra money for a full Chromoly is because non full chromoly set ups are more for teenage beginners.. At 25 fully grown I recommend full chromoly. It will last longer.
+Alejandro4891 Also you are tall like me, so taller rise handlebars would feel more comfortable for you. At least 8.5" rise bars and higher.
i want buy mafiabike for my 18th birthday, is madmain purple fuel good? IT says hitensile
I'm 52 road and MTB'er....i just found a near perfect 'MirraCo Essex' in the trash (maybe "Medium" range quality) very fun little bike 21" so about my sz too!
Is a Verde A/V Bike 2021 a good bike for a begginer
So according to this list a Haro Boulevard 2016 would not be a terrible pick for a beginning bike,
In Medium:
Integrated Head tube
3pc Chromoly cranks.
Sealed Mid BB
Sealed 9T Cassette Hub
in Low:
Hi Tensile Steel Frame
Single Wall Rims
From what I've read and seen and heard it's more or less not bad for a starter and with a relatively affordable price (£250) It's not too bad in my opinion.
Anyone have any thoughts or comments on that? Preferably constructive ones.
Haros arent horrible bikes, I started off on one personally. A tensile frame may be an issue, however its not actually a huge deal to replace, and if you can get a bike with some solid pieces (chromoly cranks, decent hub) it will work as a starting point, however if you want to be riding for a long time, its probably a good idea to look a bit more upmarket.
I hope ur still answering questions, if so what bike do u recommend as a first bmx bike for under 600$ thanks
+Masta Reapa Always answering questions my friend! If you are a brakeless bmx rider the "Kink SXTN Pro" is a good buy for 600 but does not offer brakes. It's basically a full signature model so it will feel like a custom bike. Our other choice would be a "Subrosa Letum Pro".. For $600 you should be able to choose a bike with sale terms similar to our "High Strength" section of the video
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) thanks for replying.And I would prefer a bike with back brakes only. And would any of the two options u gave me be good for commuting
If you want brakes than the "Subrosa Letum" is the better choice. It has just back brakes. 20" bmx bikes are generally harder to commute with because of a single gear and short stance. But you can raise the seat really high and feel pretty comfortable for a few miles.
The BNC (Bmx News Channel) is there any bike for a cheaper price that is in the high section of durability in the video?
Is the se everyday good?
would you say that the Social Storm BMX Bike Gloss Black 2014
is a good bike for £280
I’m 5/7” 38 yrs old and I ride a Radio Astron. Paid 500$ for it.
my bikes custom, but i have a
full crmo frame

thanks alot dude. good channel.
Anything to help. Much appreciated!!
Is a 2018 cult gateway a good bike?
I'm a skateboarder and I just want something light and cheap to get places faster than skating... would a low end bike be acceptable?
Unll2eaL li if it's just to ride around and not doing tricks then just get like a Walmart bike...
Is a sunday scout a good bike?
+Edward Fogaty It's a pretty good bike to start with but the deal with the price is a hard choice. You can choose the Sunday Scout which is a well made bike or save up just a tiny bit more and get a full Chromoly Kink Whip.
I'm 35 years old , can I ride ?
+Mady Mohsen That's what is awesome about bmx... Anyone can start at any age and everyone accepts it!
