Blackman Bicycles BMX

The BMX was indeed the bike that would take you anywhere in the 80's. Before the days of Mountain Bikes, BMX ruled supreme. With the advent of the MTB, the modern BMX has been able to shuck off the all purpose off road label and evolve into a finely crafted machine which is broken into three specialised categories.

Race STAATS

Freestyle

Freestyle BMX start from around $300 (GIANT MODEM, GIANT RHYTHM) for your standard high tensile steel to $1500 bikes with full Japanese chrome alloy tubing, sealed bearing hubs and cassette rear hubs (for better engagement and greater flexibility of drive train set-up) as well as all round better components. Freestyle BMX are designed tough and are considered by the freestyle fraternity as being the only all-out hard-core extreme riding machine. Typical attributes of a freestyle BMX include

14mm Axels
3 Piece Crank
48 Spoke Wheel
Heavy Duty Frame and Weld Joints
Foot Pegs on front and or rear wheels for tricks
Brake Giros for bar spining tricks

"BMX Freestyle is hardcore and extreme - that's Xtreme with an X" Evan Harslett - Blackman Bikes Staff and BMX fanatic.

Race

Race BMX are popular with children of all ages and adult which might explain the broad base of sizes which ensure a good fit for every rider.
