BMX Protective Gear

Why Wear BMX Safety Gear?

No matter if you are just starting out or are an experienced pro, protection is crucial for every BMX enthusiast. It's essential to have the proper BMX safety equipment. Correctly chosen BMX protective gear not only ensures your safety and minimises the risk of harm but also boosts your confidence, enabling you to take on more challenges while riding. Additionally, protective equipment is often mandatory for participation in BMX competitions.

Which BMX Safety Gear is Necessary?

BMX cyclists utilise a range of protective items such as helmets, knee and elbow pads, and gloves. These pieces are vital for preventing abrasions as well as more serious injuries. The helmet stands out as the foremost protective item for any BMX cyclist. Typically, BMX helmets are categorised as either full face or open face, both of which can be used for other sporting activities too. BMX gloves offer protection for your hands while also enhancing control when riding.

How to Select the Appropriate Safety Gear

No matter your riding style, selecting the correct size for BMX safety equipment is crucial. Gear that is too small might not offer adequate protection, while oversized equipment may slip off, increasing the risk of injury. Elbow and knee pads, for example, should be both flexible and snug-fitting. Depending on the design and your preference, BMX protective gear can be worn over or under your clothing.
