BMX

"The classic bike for tooling the neighborhood or doing a double peg grind. Reinforced steel, super comfortable seat that wont cut off the circulation to your scrotum too bad. (i.e. for wimps!) A great deal for the cash-strapped."

- Pedal and Metal Cycles website.

The BMX is a bicycle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design
The BMX, as implied, is a sporting a compact frame, wheels, and a sturdy handlebar.

3D Universe
While the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas rendition consists only of the bare essentials, the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories rendition comes with padding on portions of the frame, resembling an Ashtabula Black Diamond BMX Bike.

The BMX in GTA San Andreas features a small design with pegs on the rear wheel, as well as a bell that is used with the horn button. The vehicle may come either in a single tone or a two-tone color, with the secondary one applied to the vertical frames.

The GTA Vice City Stories rendition features larger wheels and higher handlebars, appearing larger than the San Andreas rendition. There is also a "female" variation of the BMX in GTA Vice City Stories, which features a (as opposed to a ), a pink frame color and a front mounted basket. Unlike the GTA San Andreas rendition, the BMX does not have a bell.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the BMX has almost the same design from GTA San Andreas but looks even smaller. This version only has one brake on the right handlebar and does not feature a bell. The BMX comes in a variety of colors for the frame, with a secondary color that seems to be non-existent (usually set to black, except for one set with white).

Despite the bicycle's description stating it has pegs, the in-game model does not feature any.

3D Universe
One of the BMX's major advantages is its maneuverability. In addition to its compact size, the BMX also allows the player to execute super high bunny hops, along with the standard fare of wheelies and stoppies. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, players can only execute a low bunny hop using the BMX.

The BMX's top speed is the middle figure for the bicycles in the game (ahead of the Bike and behind the Mountain Bike) and is not especially fast. The BMX is not suited for off-road cycling or as a getaway vehicle.

The BMX in GTA San Andreas is indestructible, but the BMX in GTA Vice City Stories can be rendered unusable by burning it with the Flamethrower/Molotov or even an explosive.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online the BMX is not as fast as the three race bikes and the Scorcher, but is faster than the Cruiser, which is the slowest bike in the game. The BMX is quite small, light and maneuverable, making it easier to perform stunts such as bunny hops and wheelies.

The BMX is not indestructible, and the wheels can be dismounted if the player collides with another object or vehicle at high speed.
