#1 Upgrade for your BMX Bike


You just got a new bike, and now you have the ability to change any part on your bike… what do you do?

The most important and beneficial upgrade for your bike is your tires. The tires will save important rotational weight.

1. Tires

New tires are so important. The stock tires that come on your BMX bike will be heavy and low PSI. Changing these out with stronger, lighter, and faster tires will make your life so much better.

My Favorite Tires

Demolition Momentums

BSD Donnasqueek

Maxxis Grifters

2. Wheels

This upgrade is more expensive, but it can have a huge impact on your bike and how it feels. Upgrading your wheels will save rotational weight and increase the strength of your bike. (especially if you got some single-wall rims)

My Favorite Wheels

Custom Wheels – Build your own with the best rim, hub and spokes that you can afford

BSD Street/Revolution

Cinema ZX Wheels

Other Upgrades

You will want to replace the weak points on your bike. Almost all bikes have weak points so identify the parts that are lower quality on your bike and slowly upgrade them. This can include cranks, bars, forks, chain, and more.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
