Best BMX Bikes Under £500 for Bigger Tricks
Looking for a BMX that can handle bigger jumps, park sessions and progression riding without crossing into premium pricing? These are the key features and compromises to expect under £500.
- Full or partial chromoly frame construction
- Sealed bearings in hubs and bottom bracket
- Double-wall rims for improved impact strength
- Three-piece chromoly cranks
- 25T to 28T gearing setups for park and street use
- Modern geometry with shorter chainstays and taller bars
- Plastic composite pedals and pegs often included
- Tyres designed for skatepark, street or mixed riding
- Heavy hi-tensile steel frames that add unnecessary weight
- Single-wall rims that dent more easily on hard landings
- Unsealed bearings that wear faster in wet UK conditions
- Very narrow handlebars that feel dated and unstable
- Cheap tyres with weak sidewalls or poor grip
- Budget chain tensioners and loose-feeling cranks
- Limited clearance for wider tyres
- Weak factory wheels that may need truing regularly under harder riding
