BMX Bikes for tall riders?
 

Quick question; are there BMX bikes made for tall riders? My son is interested in doing some training on our local BMX track, but at 6'4" I wonder if he is too tall for a stock bike. Any help would be appreciated.

There are plenty of 'cruisers', with 24" wheels and slightly longer top tubes. One of those might fit well. I ride one and I'm only 5'11, and it's a good size, but a little big to do certain things on.

If he wants a 20" BMX thats for racing then maybe one of the FMF's or if he is just looking to jump and have fun at the track the either a DK Four Pack, Six Pack or maybe a Fit Complete...

If hes looking for a 24" then you should definatley look into the DK General Lee 24" its got some nice parts and its fairly cheap...





If you post a price range that may help us help you out more...

if he`s determined to ride on 20inch wheels it is possible to get bmxs with a longer top tube
.Also don`t worry too much about it as being tall can sometimes have advantages when doing certain manouvers and you soon adapt to the bike

yeah, Macneil makes a frame called the deuce deuce, its got a 22inch tt hence the name. Probly wouldnt be as comfy as a 24 in' though.

cruisers arent bmxs they are ugly and gay macniels deuce is the biggest tt you are going to get out of a bmx frame

I hope you die in a fire, or aquire prostate cancer.

whatever mate

you obviuosly cant ride because cruisers arent bmxers you dumb **** and are a pian in the ass in the skatepark. plus they are ugly

Eshays, replying to yourself now?

Metal Cowboy,
I recommend the Macneil 22". I'm 6'2" and I love mine. It took a bit of getting used to, but now that I'm comfortable with it, I can't fathom how I ever rode a smaller frame.

1) I dont ride a cruiser.
2) Last I checked, A cruiser was a type of BMX.
3) How are they a piano (I _THINK_ thats what you were going for) in the ass in the parks?
4) They look like a bmx, just bigger. How can they be so ugly when they're so basic.

just go for something with a longer top tube..maybe 21.75" or even 22". if the frame doesn't fit, you can get an xxl stem that will lengthen the front end out a bit

At 6'4", he should definitely be looking into something in the 21.5"-22" range.

I'm 6'0" & ride a 21"tt.

How 'bout just enjoying the warmth of your love?

What's odd is that I'm listening to "Light My Fire" by The Doors right now.

There are no definites with longer frames, I knew a dude who was 6'5" and he rode a 21", I'm 6'1" and I ride a 20.625. Try some different bikes and don't be afraid to move the bars forward a bit if it's just pedaling room he needs.

it also depends on how long his legs are...i know some short people with long legs and short torsos, i also know tall people with short legs and tall torsos...

oh oh look out, what a call. you dissapoint me

1)yeh, you dont ride at all
2)they are not bmxs thats why they call bmxs for eg: you riding your 20 inch? .bro!!!
3) you are stupid you know im meant pain
4)no they dont, they are mountain bikes with out the suspension and are made for **** to cruise around on
5) i added a new point that youre a dickhead and i dont like you

You suck at being analytical.

Dont be afraid to use a dictionary to find out what that big word means.

haha
