Academy Trooper 20 Inch Bike

Looking for your first proper BMX bike that’s more than just department store trash? The Academy Trooper is the real deal—built tough, rides smooth, and priced to get you rolling without rinsing your wallet. Whether you’re learning your first bunny hop or cruising to the local park, the Trooper is designed to get you started right.

With a very short 19.5 inch top tube, this rig is dialled for younger or smaller riders who want full-size performance without the awkward reach. It’s got a hi-tensile steel frame and fork with geometry made for learning tricks and building confidence. You’re backed by sealed bearings in the hubs and bottom bracket, 3-piece chromoly cranks, and a 25-9 gear setup that keeps it simple and strong.

The 8.5 Inch rise bars and top-load stem give it that classic BMX feel, while 2.3 inch wide tyres keep it comfy and grippy on all surfaces. It even comes with a sealed cassette hub and railed seat, so you’re not sacrificing quality just because you’re starting out.

If you’re looking to get into BMX the right way, the Academy Trooper is ready when you are. Affordable, reliable, and straight-up fun.

These are a beginner level bike. If you are wanting to really push on it and do bigger and bigger tricks, we recommend opting for a higher level bike.
