When you start shopping for a BMX bike, you'll probably have considerations like the budget already sorted out. That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to decision-making, however, as there are a number of other variables you'll have to settle on before making a purchase.

The first thing you need to determine is what type of riding you will be doing. BMX bikes come ready for a variety of styles, including dirt, street and flatland riding, as well as racing. A few details could make a bike better suited to one of these styles, therefore making it a smarter investment and potentially even saving you money in the long run.

Other areas that require attention include the material the bike is made from, as chromoly is probably the best bet. This metal combines the strength and low weight that most want in a bicycle. You will also want to check the sizing of the bike, and be sure to ignore things like graphics or colors. There are many ways those can be changed after a purchase and they should not distract you from some of the more important qualities.
