Why do BMX bikes not have suspension?
BMX bikes have no suspension. The idea is to fully transfer as much power as possible to the wheels and typically the suspension will waste some of this energy. These bikes are also usually on more predictable courses that don’t have the need for suspension. That and the weight savings make this the norm for BMX bikes.
Can you put gears on BMX?

Can you put new gears on a bike?
The answer is a qualified “yes.” There are different ways to install easier gears on your bike, but it’s not always a matter of swapping just the gears. Depending on the type of components that you already have, and the compatibility of those components, you may need to replace some of other components.
