Description

Built around a light weight alloy frame, coupled with appropriately sized geometry, makes these the perfect bike for the younger, smaller BMXers starting out. Progression & having fun with BMX with come naturally with the Colony Horizon series of BMX bikes.

Features

  • Sized right for the smallest riders. An 11.9" top tube, 9.4" rear end and 7.7" bottom bracket height give a 12 inch bike with geometry that actually fits.
  • Lightweight 6061-T6 alloy frame. The alloy frame keeps the bike to 7.6 kg without training wheels, light enough for a young rider to pick up and steer.
  • Sealed bearing cassette hub. A full sealed alloy rear hub with a 9T driver and a 25T sprocket rolls smoothly and keeps the maintenance down.
  • Chromoly forks and bars. Tapered leg chromoly forks and 5.0" rise, 20.0" wide chromoly bars stand up to the crashes that come with learning.
  • Training wheels included. They come in the box, so ask for them to be fitted if you are picking the bike up in store.

Assembly information

Your bike ships mostly assembled in the box. Finishing it takes most people 10 to 20 minutes with basic tools, and the video above walks through every step.

  • Fit the handlebars and line them up with the front wheel
  • Fit the front wheel, pedals and seat post
  • Check the brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride

Tools: Allen key set and a 15mm, 17mm or 19mm spanner for the pedals and axle nuts (bikes can vary between these three sizes). A socket is needed if installing pegs.

Rather have it done? Ask us about extra assembly before you order, or any local bike shop can finish the build for a small fee.

12 inch BMX sizing

A 12 inch bike suits a rider of about 60 to 91cm, usually 2 to 4 years old, on a 12 to 12.5 inch top tube. It is the first bike after a balance bike.

160cm and up24"21.75 to 22"
160cm and up26"22 to 23"

Sizes overlap on purpose, so personal preference comes into it. At this wheel size the top tube barely changes the fit: go by height, and check they can stand over the bike flat footed.

How to measure

Stand your rider against a wall in the shoes they ride in, heels flat, and mark the top of their head. Measure from the floor to the mark.

  • Between two wheel sizes? Go up. Kids grow into a bike far faster than they grow out of the fun.
  • They should be able to stand over the top tube with both feet flat on the ground.

Not sure? Send us their height and we will tell you what we would put them on.
