Bike components
Frame
Frame
The playful geometry is designed for children from 8 to 14 years old (1.30m to 1.60m tall). It will allow you to easily do jumps, wheelies, slides, etc. Made of Hi-Ten reinforced steel, a component that is widely used in the cycling industry for its strength. 6mm reinforced frame dropout, bottom bracket with large diameter: everything about this bike has been designed to be highly durable and withstand impacts.
Suspension Fork
Built from reinforced steel (Hi-Ten), a high standard in the cycling industry for its durability. 5mm fork dropouts for greater resistance to impacts. No suspension for greater manoeuvrability and lighter weight!
Drivetrain
Pedals
The new pedals are thinner for greater lower weight and style. They're also wider for better stability for the foot. The dots on the surface provide maximum grip whilst minimising the risk of injury. We've chosen composite pedals over aluminium because they're more durable and provide better grip in wet conditions. The steel crank is designed for BMX use.
Wheels
Rims
The wide aluminium rims have been selected for their rigidity and light weight. Equipped with 36 spokes, the wheels are more resistant than ever!
Tires
The 20 x 2.10 styled tyres are wide for good grip and cushioning on landing from jumps!With a slightly lugged shape, they adapt perfectly to urban use whilst still allowing the rider to comfortably adventure onto rolling terrain.
Brakes
Brakes
The aluminium TEKTRO brake levers are designed for braking with just 2 fingers for more precision.The shape of the levers is suitable for young riders. Unlike other BMXs, we decided to equip this one with aluminium TEKTRO V-brake levers, making them stiffer for maximum efficiency.
Disk Rotors
Equipped with a detangler for unlimited handlebar rotation.
Cockpit
Stem
The 50mm aluminium stem is built using the headset system (fixed directly onto the fork), which adds light weight and durability. This system, used on high end mountain bikes, marks a major difference in terms of durability compared to competing entry-level BMX.
Handlebar
The 620mm wide reinforced steel (Hi-Ten) handlebars provide durability, precision and stability. At a height of 1500mm, the BMX is the only children's bike that allows the rider to sit with a straight back for seated pedalling. But it also improves acceleration and push-offs with maximum stability from a standing position!The height and width mean the handlebars can be pulled backwards to master the art of steering (wheelie, manual, etc.).

Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the 520 Wipe BMX bike is equipped with the 20″ aluminum model. The 20″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. B’TWIN 520 Wipe BMX has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
B’TWIN 520 Wipe BMX 2021 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
