i dont know much about bmx so i wanna know if this bike is good for my first bmx bike ever.. if not, any other suggestions on a good bmx bike for a beginner thats not heavy and is about $200??

plz help!!!

Answer 1

i would not recommend this bike for a few reasons, one because its small ( recommended for riders 36-46" tall) and you will grow out of it. two because the frame is high tensile steal which is lighter but not as strong as a chromolly frame ( which i recommend). three because it only has a 16" wheel which is smaller then average for Bmx 20" is normal.

i would recommend the DK eighte pack bike ( avellibal at danscomp) or the Haro X0 or maybe the Haro F1c ( both haro bikes are avellibal at Harobikes.com

Answer 2

well, it's kinda small. You'd grow out of it pretty fast (it has 16" wheels but the normal size is a 20" wheel) unless you're short i would go with a 20" bike

Answer 3

I ride bmx and I know a LOT of short riders who ride 20" bikes. If you are 36-46 in tall, then yes get the nipper. If you are 44-54 in tall, get an 18 in bike ( cheapest 1 on dans is kink kicker at 269.99. If you are over 54 in, but still on the shorter side, get a mirraco shorty (200-220 dollars) or a stolen riot (229.99). Note that dans doesn't sell mirraco bikes. Hope this helps!
