BMX bike

Dirt track racer

A BMX bike is a small, sturdy bicycle designed for off-road racing and stunt riding.

BMX stands for bicycle motocross, reflecting the sport's origins in the 1970s when kids began racing bicycles on dirt tracks modeled after motocross courses.

These bikes feature a compact frame, 20-inch wheels, knobby tires, and a single gear, built to handle jumps, tricks, and rough terrain.
