BB HeightUpdated 24 days ago

Bottom Bracket Height or BB Height can make a massive difference on your freestyle BMX bike's handling. Typically Lower BB Heights (11.5 Inch, etc) are favoured by Dirt and Park riders due to their stability in the air and relaxed feel, whereas Higher BB Heights (11.8 Inch, etc) are favoured by Street riders for clearance with grinds and an agile feel.

BB height is measured from the ground to the middle of the Bottom Bracket (BB). 

*You will struggle to measure this correctly on your own bike as tyre height and other factors will skew your measurement. So just check your specs online for the accurate height or shoot us an email if you are unsure!
