What equipment is listed for BMX racing on Wikipedia?

The equipment listed for BMX racing on Wikipedia is a BMX bike. BMX racing is built around compact bicycles designed for short, fast races on purpose-built tracks with jumps, rollers and banked turns.

BMX stands for bicycle motocross. The sport developed in the United States during the early 1970s, when children began racing bicycles on dirt tracks inspired by motorcycle motocross. Manufacturers soon produced bikes specifically for the demands of racing, rather than relying on ordinary road bicycles.

Wikipedia distinguishes two main racing-bike sizes: the 20-inch Class bike and the larger Cruiser, commonly using 24-inch wheels. Racing BMX bikes are lightweight and use geometry and gearing suited to rapid acceleration, while race bikes are also required to have brakes.

A BMX bike is not the same as a mountain, road or track bike. Mountain bikes are designed for longer off-road routes, road bikes for paved-distance riding, and track bikes for velodromes. Freestyle BMX bikes may look similar, but their construction and components are often optimized for tricks rather than racing speed.
