Launched in the year 1995 by the award winning German design firm Riese and Muller, the Birdy 24 bike are lauded in the international market because of their innovative design and performance. The revolutionary dual suspension design of a Birdy folding bike introduces that smoothness to each ride that is otherwise characteristic of expensive full-sized bicycles only.

The first fully suspended folding bicycles, the Birdie bikes make use of one-piece solid yet lightweight aluminum frames. The suspension pivots take care of the folding mechanism in the absence of the mainframe hinges. This clever designing together with the use of 18 inch wheels make the bikes very stable and sporty.

The Birdy bicycles fold in less than 30 seconds without the use of any tools. With the folded size of a Birdy bicycle being some 30" x 23" x 11", it is quite easy to store them in small places and carrying cases. The lightweight frames (mostly weighing around 24 lbs) make the Birdy bikes very portable.

The different gearing options, firm framing and dual suspension design of Birdy folding bikes render them suitable for being used for many purposes other than commuting. Use them for pleasure rides and touring as well as for sporting use.

BMX is the acronym of Bicycle Motocross. BMX is the sort of cycle racing with specially designed bicycles. Generally the wheels of these bikes are 18 to 24 inches. 24 BMX bikes are used for BMX racing and BMX free style. Usually BMX racing is performing on the earthen tracks and to perform tricks on the bikes BMX freestyle are prefer. BMX freestyle has five disciplines that are street, dirt, park, vert and flat land. All these disciplines involve some technical movements of the bikes in different ways. The main three disciplines that participate prefer are Leap of faith, high jump and drag.

For the races and tricks special bikes are designed according to the use and surrounding conditions. Some of the bikes offer quality with low price and therefore they are affordable to everyone. The material used in the bicycles is generally light weight. The material prefer for construction of the frames is aluminum. Aluminum makes the bikes light and strong. Main features of such bikes are sealed bearing with flip-flip alloy hubs.These all are comfortable for all the racers. Generally these bikes are able to bare the weight of about 25 lbs.

Some of the 24 BMX bikes are constructed with 6061 aluminum with custom hydro formed tubing. These bikes are provided with the accessories like Funn Isis crank, Cassette sealed bearing hubs, Funn CNC light weight stems, Maxxis tires, and Sun rims. Hande bars are created with Cr-Mo material.

Many of the 24 BMX bikes are fully made up with Cr-Mo material. These bikes are provided with rear brakes for safe and sudden stopping. These bikes are also light weighted and therefore easy and comfortable to handle.

The 24  BMX bikes are available in major two types they are for dirt and ramps. The bikes that are used on dirt ramps or used for the free style need to be sturdy and heavy frame. If we compare the actual freestyle bikes and conventional bikes then we observe that the free style bikes are heavier than other bikes. On the other side jump bikes are lighter than free style bikes and heavier than the BMX bikes. These bikes are available in various frame size and the materials. According to the size and weight we can choose them.

The BMX bikes are provided with about 20" diameter wheels. BMX jumps bicycles have bigger wheel diameter than the general BMX bikes. For tall and fat riders recommended diameter of the wheel are about 24". Most of the jump bikes have 13 gauge spokes where as the free style bikes have about 48 gage spokes. Tires of the bikes also vary. Jump bikes have to concentrate on the tractions rather than speed and therefore tires of the bikes are heavily treaded among all other BMX bikes. On the other hand freestyle BMX bikes have smooth treads for easy use on the pavements and indoor. To perform the trick BMX bikes are provided with the axle pegs.

According to these specifications one can choose the appropriate bike for their racing.
