6 Best BMX Street Bikes (Tested 2023)

Are you searching for the best BMX street bikes?

The curation of this collection was in the works over many months, including
over ten of my dudes, who helped me with their experience riding the bikes.

These are the absolute best complete bikes that any street rider can opt for.

Some are signature bikes from pro riders that are meant to last.

Williams and WTP Battleship.

 Best BMX street bikes

How We Tested BMX Street Complete Bikes

Me and many of my friends went through a number of BMX bikes to settle
with the best-of-the-best.

While I thoroughly examined each bike in detail during assemblage, my

dudes reported their experience using the bikes for weeks and, some, months.

I paid attention to how easily the bikes are built out of the box, with or
without the brakes.

Bikes were also thoroughly tested on the streets and at skateparks.

Each bike went through hours-long sessions of grinding, pulling spins,

manuals and nose manual, gaps/drops and learning new tricks.
Now let’s go right into the best BMX bikes for street riders.

MY FAVORITE BMX STREET BIKES:

 Best Overall BMX Street Bike: WTP Battleship Bike
 Nathan William’s Street Bike: Kink Williams Bike
 Travis Hughes’s Street Bike: Kink Cloud Bike
 Best BMX Street Freecoaster Bike: WTP Trust FC Bike
 Best Mid-Range BMX Street Bike: Kink Switch Bike
 Best Budget BMX Street Bike: Fit STR Bike Or Freecosaster Version

Best BMX Street Complete Bikes

1. Kink Cloud BMX Bike
This Travis Hughes‘s signature Kink complete bike that’s meant for street
and park business.
The bike is based on Travis’ geometry preferences, with a few tweaks that
make it more affordable.

Cloud comes with all sorts of high-quality Kink and Mission parts to
assemble the bike and ride it out of the box.

It features 9.5″ Kink Rex bars, Kink Hemlock pedals and Kink
Ericsson BMX seat. You also get Mission’s freecoaster hub and sealed
bearings all around for smooth rolling.
Kink Cloud bike has a responsive geometry that is great both for technical
riding but handles burly stuff, too.

It’s a mid-range complete bike that you can count on!

My friends Jay and Robert reported to me that they have been enjoying this
setup for four months now and have no issues (except for truing the wheels).

Bike specs:
 Frame: Kink Cloud frame

 Top tube: 21″

  Headtube angle: 75.5
 Forks: Kink Trident forks

2. Kink Switch BMX Bike
The Kink’s Switch BMX street bike is slightly cheaper, but still promises
great quality for your hours-long sessions.
Going switch and regular is easy with Switch!

The bike combines Kink and Mission parts with a 20.75″ frame top tube
that’s great for riders who are around 5ft-6ft tall.

The steeper headtube angle and the shorter chainstay length ensure that
this BMX street frame is responsive, which is extra handy for street riding or
park jibbing.
But when you get used to it, you can ride Switch anywhere you want.

Of course, it wouldn’t be called Switch if it didn’t come with a freecoaster.

Fakie tricks all of a sudden become a whole bunch simpler.

After talking to Matt, Eli and Mike, who have been riding the bike for three
months, they said it’s a great bike for beginners who want to upgrade.
Bike specs:
 Frame: Kink Switch frame

 Top tube: 20.75″

 Headtube angle: 75.5

 Forks: Kink Trident forks

 Bars: Kink Trident bars

3. Kink Williams BMX Bike
If you’re getting more serious about your riding, then I highly
recommend Nathan Williams‘ signature Kink BMX complete bike.
The bike features high-quality Kink, Cinema and Mission parts that will keep
you shredding for a long time.

From Nathan’s signature frame and Corey Martinez‘s signature top load

BMX stem to Cinema ZX2 freecoaster, Cinema Williams 2.5″ BMX
tires and Chad Kerley‘s signature Cinema plastic BMX pedals – this bike is a
SERIOUS deal!
The shorter rear-end and steeper front-end ensure you can pull spins more
easily and have fun with front and rear wheel stuff more comfortably.

The 21″ top tube makes the bike slightly larger, which is perfect for everyone
who needs a bit more leg room.
Also, the 2.5″ tires ensure you can ride with lower PSI, which is something
Nathan prefers.

I’ve had many dudes (thanks, Rob, Albert, Craig, Peter & Andrew) who
talked about how much they like this bike, even when riding skateparks.

Bike specs:
 Frame: Kink Williams frame

 Top tube: 21″

 Headtube angle: 75.5

 Forks: Kink Origin forks

 Bars: Kink Williams 4pc bars

 Seat: Cinema Standard stealth seat

 Pegs: 4 x Cinema C4 pegs

 Price: $899.99 (may vary)

4. WTP Trust BMX Bike (Freecoaster)
WeThePeople Trust bike is a great tool that you can use for murdering street
spots but enjoy yourself riding skateparks (and even light trials).
This BMX street bike has a responsive chainstay (at 12.75″), which is great
in combination with a 20.75″ top tube length. Perfect for technical riding!

Moreover, Trust uses many WTP, Saltplus and Eclat parts that together form
this epic machine.
For wheels, Trust uses WTP Helix hubs and Eclat Trippin BMX rims.
You can count on Trust 100%, when you wish to upgrade your current bike
with something higher-end.

While I only got feedback from my dude, Tom, he had nothing but good
things to say about Trust. He especially likes the 15mm offset BMX forks,
which help him with nose manual stuff.
Bike specs:
 Frame: WTP Trust frame

 Top tube: 20/75″

 Headtube angle: 75.5

 Forks: Saltplus Trust forks, 15mm offset

 Bars: Saltplus Trust bars

5. WTP Battleship BMX Bike
BUT if you are ready to go to the next level and get yourself a bike that’s full
of parts pros ride, then WTP Battleship it is!
This complete BMX street bike has been around for a long time, and they
keep improving it with each new version.

You’ll first notice that it comes in 20.75″ top tube size, a mid-size covering
many riders.
This bike is full of high-quality parts.

While Battleship is a WeThePeople bike, it comes with many strong Eclat

parts (Eclat is WTP’s sister company), so you can ride it on any setup.

From WTP’s Battleship forks, Helix freecoaster hub and Logic BMX

cranks to Eclat Domain stem, Decoder tires, Elevate sprocket and Bondi rims
– Battleship is built to LAST.
I have too many friends to list here that said how well this bike is built over
the past years. (Some say they ride the same one from two years ago!)

And everyone who I asked which complete bike they would buy, they all said
Battleship.

The only thing that surprises is me is that it doesn’t come in both RHD and
LHD.

Bike specs:
 Frame: WTP Battleship frame

 Top tube: 20.75″

 Headtube angle: 75.5

 Forks: WTP Battleship forks

 Bars: Eclat Strangler bars

 Stem: Eclat Domain top load stem

 Front wheel: WTP Helix hub, Eclat Bondi rim

 Rear wheel: WTP Helix freecoaster hub, Eclat Bondi rim

 Cranks: WTP Logic cranks

 Sprocket: Eclat Elevate sprocket

 Tires: Eclat Decoder tires

 Pedals: Eclat Centric pedals

 Seat: Eclat Bios pivotal

 Pegs: Eclat Venom pegs

 Price: $1,209.99 (may vary)

6. Fit STR BMX Bike + Freecoaster
Fit’s complete STR BMX street bike is one of the best budget setups I could
found and hear good things about it.
The first thing I want to mention is that the STR bike is available in a cassette
hub and freecoaster version.
Moreover, it has a shorter top tube length at 20.5″, which is better for shorter
riders.

You’ll also notice a very short chainstay (12.6″!) and steep headtube angle
(75.5″), which make the bike really snappy.

Manuals, nose manuals (it even has 25mm offset forks!), spins and even
tailwhips become much easier with this bike.

Last but not least, the included four BMX metal pegs make STR bike perfect
for grinding.
I recommend this bike if you are starting or have basic tricks on lock but
don’t yet pull a ton of gaps, drops, etc. (It IS a great upgrade bike!)

Bike specs:
 Frame: Fit STR frame

 Top tube: 20.5″

 Headtube angle: 75.5

 Forks: 1020 HiTen taperred forks

 Bars: 1020 HiTen 4-pc bars

 Stem: Fit top load stem

 Front wheel: Fit S1W hub, Fit S1W rim

 Rear wheel: Fit S1W cassetter (or FC) hub, Fit S1W rim

 Cranks: Tubular cranks

 Sprocket: Fit Key sprocket

 Tires: Fit F/U tires

 Pedals: Fits plastic pedals

  Seat: Fit Combo seat
 Pegs: 4 X Steel pegs

Note: This bike is also available as a FREECOASTER VERSION ($619.95).
How To Pick The Ideal BMX Street Bikes
Not many say this, so I feel like it needs to be mentioned: Never buy the
cheapest BMX complete bike.

I’ll go so far as to say that you should aim for at least a mid-priced, if not a
high-priced bike.

For this reason, I only collected the ultimate bikes that you can get on the
market today.

BUT!

The last statement only applies to everyone serious about BMXing!

If you’re unsure whether this is a sport you’d like to do or plan to use a BMX
bike mostly for transportation, then go with budget-friendly bikes.

“TT Doesn’t Matter Too Much”

But there’s another thing that’s important to think about when buying a BMX
bike – top tube length.

Generally:
 A top tube length of 20.25″ – 21″ is great for 5’6″ – 6ft riders.

 And anything above 20.75″ is for 6ft.

But a top tup is really more of a personal preference and the style of riding
you do.
You’ll notice that many pro riders break the general sizing rules, riding a lot
longer top tubes as “they should.”

For instance: I’m 5’11” and ride a 21.6″ frame for street riding and love it!
But I started on a 20.5″ complete bike and loved it at the time.
On the other hand, there are many who prefer a shorter TT because it helps
them with their technical wizardry.

You’re now ready to get your street sessions in, lots of them, with a solid
complete bike!

Enjoy.
