What Are BMX Pegs? Function, Materials & Installation Tips
Whether it’s for grinds, balance tricks or flatland combos – BMX pegs (also known as trick axles) are essential components for riders who want to take their skills to the next level. At KHEbikes, we started our history with pegs – and we continue to innovate them today.
In our Pegs category, you’ll find high-quality models for street, flatland and park. Choose from different lengths, materials and surface styles. We offer both threaded pegs (for solid axles) and slip-on pegs with adapters for hollow axles.
What are pegs and what are they used for?
Pegs are cylindrical attachments mounted on one or both wheel axles of a BMX bike. They serve as stepping and grinding surfaces – for grinds on rails or ledges, balance tricks like manuals or hang fives, or flatland combos. Pegs massively expand your trick options.
What materials are BMX pegs made of?
BMX pegs are typically made from steel or aluminium:
- Steel pegs: Extremely durable – ideal for street and hard grinds.
- Aluminium pegs: Lightweight – perfect for flatland and tech combos.
We also offer hybrid pegs with plastic sleeves for smoother slides – available depending on model.
Smooth vs. knurled surface – what’s better?
- Smooth pegs: Better for fast grinds – less friction, smoother slides on rails.
- Knurled pegs: More grip when stepping on – popular for flatland and technical tricks.

FAQs about BMX pegs
- Which is better – steel or aluminium pegs?
Steel is more durable for street, aluminium is lighter for flatland – it depends on your riding style. - How many pegs do I need?
Many riders use 2, others ride with 4 – based on their trick setup. - Do pegs fit on any BMX?
Yes, most do – you just need the correct axle (threaded or with adapter). - Can I add pegs later?
Absolutely – just make sure your axle type is compatible and you’re good to go. - What’s the difference between threaded and slip-on pegs?
Threaded pegs screw directly onto the axle, slip-on pegs slide over hollow axles and are secured with an adapter.
Conclusion: More tricks – more style – more pegs
With high-quality BMX pegs from KHEbikes, you’ll unlock new trick potential. Whether you ride street or flatland – we have the right model for your style, your level, and your bike.

My son is thrilled with the design of his BMX bike. After I had trouble assembling it (especially the brakes), I contacted KHEbikes. Absolutely fantastic, friendly, and fast service, which solved the problem! I'm truly thrilled and can only recommend KHEbikes! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My previous review was worse. The reason for this is that I've encountered a lot of poor providers in the past, and so I simply share my negative experiences. I was contacted immediately after my first review, which I personally thought was really great. It immediately showed that the customer is their top priority. A big thumbs up for that.

Very pleasant contact, I'm very impressed with the staff. The purchase process is easy, and the description is accurate. The order arrived very quickly, but unfortunately, there was some shipping damage, but it was replaced without any major problems.

Thanks to excellent advice over the phone, we were able to order the right spare parts for our son's BMX bike. They assured us of prompt shipping, so he was able to happily use his bike again the following week. Many thanks to Mr. Stubenrauch for the great advice!

Over the years, we've had nothing but positive experiences with their products and service! Unfortunately, no race bikes or parts, which would make the product range perfect. Highly recommended!

Very friendly contact, excellent advice. Even a question about the assembly of the BMX bike I purchased was answered the same day (Sunday!). That's how you retain customers long-term. I certainly won't have ordered the last bike from you. 😊 Thank you very much.

Despite the remote diagnosis, we received excellent advice. After a few emails and photos back and forth, the problem with the bike was identified, and we were able to fix it ourselves. Our son is incredibly happy to be able to ride a BMX again. Now that's what I call customer service! Very friendly, dedicated, and competent!
