Do you love challenges and that rush of adrenaline pumping through your veins?
Yes? Thought so.
Then you should definitely give dirt jumping a try!
But don't even think about trying it on a regular bike. You need something built for it – something tough, tested, and ready for the air.
So what kind of bike should you get?
There’s only one right answer!
An MTB Dirt Jump bike!
Dirt jump bikes are machines built to take a beating. They’re made for hard landings and heavy use, which means they’re totally different from your average bike.
When choosing your MTB Dirt Jump bike, forget about frame size charts. It’s all about your body proportions and personal preference.
In general, the dirt bikes we offer are suitable for riders between 150 cm and 190 cm tall. If you're just starting out and you're in that height range – you're good to go.
Make sure you can easily swing your legs over the frame and control the bars – especially when doing tricks like barspins or can-cans. Dirt frames are compact, have a steep rear angle and a low standover height – all designed to help you fly.
Dirt bike frames can take a beating. They’re reinforced, usually made of steel, and built to survive high-impact landings.
These bikes don’t have gears – they’re single-speed and made for pumping, not pedaling. They only have a rear brake. No loose cables, no clutter. Everything’s tight and tidy so you can focus on flips, spins, and clean landings.
They come with a solid front suspension fork, reinforced handlebars and stem, and a tough crankset that takes all the impact. Every part matters here – nothing is random.
A dirt bike often hits the ground hard after a failed trick. If the rider messes up, they need to throw the bike and land safely. That’s why you need a proper bike – not just any ride from the shed.
And don’t forget: riding dirt means you also need proper protection – always!
