14-inch BMX bikes for kids: what rider height do they suit?
A 14-inch BMX is a step up from a 12-inch bike for a child who is ready for more room, but does not yet need a 16-inch BMX. In the RMDBike size guide, 110–125 cm is a useful starting point. Some 14-inch models also suit shorter riders, so check the recommended height for the bike you choose.
These are BMX bikes made for younger riders, with smaller wheels and geometry that is easier for a child to manage. They can make the first turns, pump track laps and freestyle basics more fun without putting your child on a bike that feels too big.
How do you choose the right 14-inch BMX?
Start with your child’s height, then check the recommended rider height and top tube length of the individual bike. TT means top tube length. It can differ between bikes with the same 14-inch wheels.
| Rider height(cm) | Wheel size(inches) | Top tube TT(inches) |
|---|---|---|
| around 110–125 cm | 14″ | approximately 13.7″–14.5″ |
This chart is a starting point. Some 14-inch BMX bikes suit children below 110 cm, so always check the recommended rider height and geometry of the individual model.

What should you check when buying a 14-inch BMX?
Two bikes with 14-inch wheels can fit differently. Compare the recommended rider height and top tube length of each model. Check the weight too. A child should be able to handle the bike comfortably when starting, turning and stopping.
Think about where your child will ride. If they want to try the skatepark or learn their first tricks, check whether the individual BMX is made for freestyle riding. It is also worth comparing the brakes before you choose.
FAQ about 14-inch BMX bikes for kids
What rider height suits a 14-inch BMX?
In the RMDBike size guide, around 110–125 cm is a starting point. Some 14-inch models also suit shorter children. Check the recommended rider height and top tube length of the bike you are considering.
Can a 14-inch BMX be a child’s first BMX?
Yes, if it fits the child and suits the riding they want to try. A bike that fits now is easier to start, steer and stop than one bought too large to leave room for growth.
Should I choose a 14-inch or 16-inch BMX?
Compare the recommended rider height for both bikes, especially if your child is between sizes. A 16-inch BMX gives a growing rider more room, but it should still feel manageable now. The child’s height and the geometry of each model matter more than wheel size alone.
Can a 14-inch BMX be ridden at a skatepark?
Yes, if the individual bike is intended for freestyle riding. Start with features and obstacles suited to your child’s ability. Make sure they wear a properly fitting helmet and consider protective pads.
How much does a 14-inch BMX weigh?
There is no single weight for every 14-inch BMX. It depends on the frame and components, so check the weight listed for the individual model. A lighter bike can be easier for a young rider to pick up and manoeuvre, but fit and intended use matter too.
