Any bike will handle them just when coming down don't slam down.

The only reason anything will break is a flat tire due to a snake bite

Those types of bikes at just sent for riding. Doing wheelies on them could bend the rim over time. So its not suggested.

Why would a mountain bike designed to withstand going over rocks, trails, jumps and possibly falling break from doing a wheelie lol

According to my father the reason why things on my bike were broken i.e gears and brakes were because of le wheelies.

literally the only mechanical thing i would worry about is the headset bearings and making sure they stay tight. just do your routine daily check before you ride! got a few years of bmx under the belt as well as a broken femur

My dad claims the reason why the exhaust on my car is fairly loud for a 4 door sedan is because they're not designed to go over 60 MPH yet it goes up to 120 MPH sooo yeah haha Sometimes when dads don't have an answer they try to think of anything

The only way to break your bike from a wheelie is smashing the front shocks, if you don't have shocks then rip your wheel. The other way would be putting too much strain on the chain by putting stupid amount of weight into a pedal stroke whilst trying to wheelie. I've saw people do that before and even trying to wheelie before the bike has changed gear properly.

They can only break from rider error, just go for it. Pop a wheelie son.
