Frame BMX

Here at Source BMX, we understand that choosing the right BMX frame can be daunting. The first thing to know is that BMX frames are best measured by the top tube length. The ideal length depends on your height: a longer top tube is better for taller riders, while a shorter tube helps shorter riders reach the handlebars. Your riding style also influences your choice of frame. If you plan to ride street or park, a shorter top tube allows for more manoeuvrability. For dirt riding, a longer top tube provides better stability. For more help finding the best frame size, check out our frame buyer's guide.

The best type of BMX frame depends on your riding style and personal preference. Race frames are lightweight with a geometry optimized for track racing. If you ride street or park, a freestyle frame will better suit your needs, as they are built to withstand impacts. The geometry of the frames is also important to consider. The top tube length can affect how the ride feels: a long top tube provides stability, ideal for track racing, while a short top tube increases manoeuvrability, making it better for tricks.

BMX top tubes are the most important measurement to consider when buying a BMX frame. The ideal top tube length depends on your height: longer top tubes are best for taller riders, while shorter tubes suit shorter riders. Our handy frame buyer's guide can help you determine the right size. Your riding style also influences the top tube length you need. Shorter top tubes offer better manoeuvrability, making them ideal for park or street riding, while longer top tubes provide greater stability, which is better for trail riding.
