The Best New BMX Bikes To Stunt On This Summer

BMX bikes are not just for kids. Maybe they were at some point in the '80s when the only options for tall dudes were either a cruiser or a Moosegoose, but now with guys riding into their 40s and beyond, they're made longer and stronger as a matter of course. BMX bikes are for everyone. And, with summer right around the corner, what better time to either upgrade or get back into it?

There are plenty of choices when it comes to new bike, too, from cruisers to pro-level completes, from retro-inspired modern day rides to full-on '80s homages. We looked all over the web to bring you the 10 best options no matter what your skill level. Check out The Best New BMX Bikes To Stunt On This Summer.

Robbie Morales is originally from New York, but established Cult in Los Angeles. The Control complete represents both coasts well, with its all-black vibe leaning East with the gothic lettering and gum DeHart tires slanting West. Meanwhile, getting a complete bike with a 100-percent chromoly frame and fork for less than $500 is something anyone on any coast could get with.

Way back in freestyle history, there was a 14-year-old kid named from Mike Dominguez who absolutely destroyed the old skateparks like Pipeline and Upland. He paved the way for another 14-year-old kid named Mathew Hoffman to do the same on quarterpipes and halfpipes. Haro Bikes has not only brought Dominguez back into the fold as part of their legends team, but they're re-issuing a replica of his 1984 Sport, complete with his signature blue tires, one-piece bar/stem combo, and black Tuff Wheels. For anyone who grew up in the '80s, this is grail material—and a sick 'round-town cruiser.

Aaron Ross doesn't just clog Twitter feeds, he's one of the best BMX riders on the planet. So yeah, his pro-level bike is pretty nice. He's also a bit of an aesthete (as some of his past bikes demonstrate), so it looks fantastic, too. The black frame has neon accents (and a bit of splatter), and is hung with all sorts of aftermarket level Odyssey components. Sick deal for $800, and maybe Aaron will RT you.

There are actually two Simpsons x Cult bikes, but the cruiser is our pick. Because after a trip to Moe's Tavern (or your local drinking establishment) a 24" is easier to wheel home. And, being larger, it's easier to find. It's got an aluminum frame, chromoly almost everything else, and many Cult bits. Maybe Bart can finally ditch the skateboard.

Well, the Benny 1 is bright. Ben Lewis's entry-level bike might not be as high-end as his signature-level ride, but with its bright red frame and rims, black parts package and fat 2.4" whitewall tires it sure looks the part. There's also an Etnies-branded model for that extra pro collab feel.

Subrosa's top-of-the-line complete, the Novus can be a stand-in for that The Hundreds x Shadow Conspiracy bike you missed out on (although maybe...). Made of 100 percent seamless Japanese chromoly and decked out with a full complement of Shadow parts, the Novus is ready to rip straight out of the box. Well, after it's assembled by a qualified professional.

For anyone who stopped paying attention to BMX bikes in the '80s, the Quadangle should still look plenty familiar. One of the most unique frame designs of the '80s, the Quadangle used multiple thin tubes for a different approach to strength. SE brought it back, complete with the looptail rear triangle, updated with a 21" toptube and V-brakes (which are sort of sacrilegious, but oh well). Chrome Landing Gear forks finish it off in proper '80s style.

The biggest problem with non-pro level BMX bikes is they tend to be a bit small. After all, they're made for beginners. But not all beginners are young (or short), so it's nice to see something like the Gap XL, which has a beginner pricepoint and a pro-sized (21" toptube) frame. There's a lot of hi-ten steel here, so don't expect the bike to last forever if ridden hard, but it's got tubular chromoly three-piece cranks and still comes in at under 26 pounds.

The Sunday Bikes Model C was the first ready-made shreddable cruiser, and while the Pro version has sadly been eliminated from the lineup, the $430 AM is still a pretty cool ride, especially since the whole bike is only $30 more than the pro-level frame. Get the complete, ride it into the ground, then build up a pro version of your own. Think you can't shred on a cruiser? Think again.

Tommy Dugan can blast to the outer limits of the atmosphere on his bike, and while simply owning his signature model will not help you do the same, it's a rad bike regardless. No brakes, a whole mess of pro-level Odyssey parts and a matte black (or gloss raw) finish makes for a great setup even if it stays on the ground.
