Bmx handle bars are standard 22.2mm as most handlebars. The Bmx confusion your having is the old bmx quill stems for the early bikes was 21.1mm which was a result of USA and more precisely Schwinn's attempt to dominate the market with its own standards. All the big bike manufacturers have tried it and thankfully mostly failed. International standards prevail and 22.2 wins.
