BMX bicycles
Although on the surface it seems that this type of bicycle looks like a child’s bicycle due to its size, but it is far from it. BMX bicycles are designed to perform various tricks in specially designed places or in the city. BMX bicycles are easily recognized by their typical low geometry with a low saddle, as they are usually ridden while standing up. Extremely strong frame and rims, front fork without a suspension, thick 20” tires that absorb impact energy when jumping over an obstacle or jumping off a platform, a high and additionally reinforced handlebar, which usually turns 360 degrees. Everything is made in such a way that it is possible to perform acrobatic tricks both on special BMX tracks or in the park, as well as for riding in the city. BMX bicycle manufacturer that we suggest is Diamondback.
History of Diamondback Bicycles. What is it?
Diamondback is a bicycle manufacturer with many years of experience. It is a leading bicycle brand based in Kent, Washington, USA. Diamondback bicycles are sold in many countries around the world starting from United States of America, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Bangladesh and more.
As a BMX brand, Diamondback was founded in 1977 in California. Originally, the brand name was Diamond Back, but over the time it changed to DiamondBack, and then to Diamondback, which is still used today. Since 1990 Diamondback began selling mountain and road bicycles as well. Now this manufacturer can offer a wide selection of different types of bicycles. In 1993, with the formation of the Diamondback Racing (aka DBR) team, hundreds of BMX and mountain cyclists were sponsored by the manufacturer Diamondback. In 1999, Diamondback was acquired by Derby Cycle Corporation, which is one of the three largest bicycle manufacturers in Germany. This company also owns the Raleigh bicycle company, and with the acquisition of Diamonback, both Raleigh and Diamondback were merged. Now these two brands have the same owner.
Price of BMX bicycles
The price of BMX bicycles depends on the characteristics of the bicycle, the quality of the bicycle parts, and their durability. Cheap BMX bicycles may have non-reinforced rims, so they may be more suitable for beginners to learn the most basic BMX tricks. As the child grows and his BMX skills develop, it is recommended to pay attention to stronger and more durable models with better characteristics. When choosing a BMX bicycle, keep in mind that: The parts must be light but strong. The bicycle would have a small front chain ring (if you are going to perform any tricks) and the bicycle would have one gear. The rims would have double walls (if you are going to perform various tricks). Nuts would be covered. If this will be your first bicycle, you should not choose the hi-end bicycle. Only after familiarizing yourself with the specifics of the bicycle and starting to ride it should you determine which bicycle you will continue to ride in the future. Later, after clarifying your needs, you will be able to choose a bicycle that is specifically suited to your needs.
BMX bicycles and their types
BMX bicycles can be of two types: race bicycles and designed for stunts (BMX freestyle). Racing bicycles are relatively light, designed for higher speed, while BMX Freestyle bicycles focus on maneuverability, performance of tricks of varying complexity, jumping on ramps, bridges, sidewalks, railings, etc. These bicycles have smoother and wider tires, a larger number of spokes, and a slightly heavier frame. When riding BMX bicycles and performing various stunts, the chances of falling and getting injured increase. For this reason, it is recommended to use guards and a quality helmet.
