Here’s a sizing guide for all the Colony complete bikes to help you work out the best suited bike for your size and age.
When looking at buying a new bike it’s good to understand the differences between each model. So we’ve created a table guide to give you a good start on how to work out the best BMX bike for you.
HOW TO MEASURE A BMX STEM
When deciding what stem suits your riding, the main thing you look at is the reach and rise.
PARTS OF A BMX EXPLAINED
We’ve broken it down so you can easily understand which part is what when it comes to a BMX bike setup.
CHOOSING YOUR CRANKS LENGTH
Generally BMX cranks come in 3 different sizes… 165mm, 170mm and 175mm.
165mm: Shorter cranks can be good when you have a short rear end on your frames as it gives you slightly more clearance especially if you’re a tall rider. Generally street riders run shorter cranks to help with pop.
170mm: A good middle ground size for diversity and also the common size you’ll find on 20″ complete bikes for that very reason.
175mm: A lot of trail / bowl riders will run longer cranks to help with stability and also more room to move when doing table’s etc…
CHOOSING THE RIGHT HANDLEBARS
The diagram below should help you to understand how BMX handlebars are measured.
