Choosing the right BMX size

Check fit rather than age alone

The 5–7-year age recommendation is a guide. Check the rider's height, inside-leg measurement, clearance over the frame and comfortable reach to the handlebars and brake levers before choosing.

Match riding to experience and intended use

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and intended-use limits. Freestyle styling does not establish suitability for every jump, trick or riding environment. Riding should suit the child's ability and be supervised appropriately.
