Overview
The Eastern Bikes Shovelhead is a 20 inch BMX built around a full chromoly frame, fork and bars, finished in orange with a 21.0 inch top tube. Eastern positions it as an expert-level bike that's been part of their lineup for over a decade.
Sealed hubs, 3-piece 48 spline chromoly cranks and an alloy Eastern Phorcys sprocket point toward a build for riders already comfortable pushing a BMX hard, not a first bike for a beginner. Two steel pegs are included in the box, and double wall front and rear rims pair with 2.4 inch Eastern Squealer OEM tires.
- Top tube size 21.0 inches
- Integrated headset, mid bottom bracket
- Chainstay length 13.38 inches
- Pivotal seat and alloy Phorcys sprocket
Who it's for
Riders with existing BMX experience who want a full chromoly setup with sealed hubs and a mid bottom bracket. Beginners or riders wanting a lighter, freestyle-specific frame may be better served by an entry-level model.

Performance notes

The integrated headset and mid bottom bracket placement affect handling under stress, while the double wall rims add strength where impacts land hardest.
