Description

Built around a lightweight alloy frame, coupled with appropriately sized geometry, makes these the perfect bike for the younger, smaller BMXers starting out. Progression & having fun with BMX will come naturally, for all styles of riding, including those aspiring to be a future BMX Freestyle Olympic athlete. With the Colony Horizon series of BMX bikes, there is no limit to where BMX could be taken.

Features

  • Proper geometry, sized down. A 15.9" top tube, 11.25" rear end and 9.5" bottom bracket height on 16 inch wheels, so a smaller rider gets a bike that fits.
  • Lightweight alloy frame. The 6061-T6 alloy frame holds the bike to 8.8 kg, light enough that progression and having fun come naturally.
  • 990 rear brake with alloy lever. A 990 style rear brake with clear pads runs a slick cable to a short reach alloy lever suited to small hands.
  • Chromoly forks, bars and cranks. Tapered leg chromoly forks, 7.0" rise chromoly bars and 125mm tubular chromoly 3-piece cranks handle the learning crashes.
  • Sealed bearing wheels. 28 hole alloy single wall rims on sealed bearing hubs with a 9T cassette driver, wrapped in Family F2128 16 x 2.1" tyres.

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.

16 inch BMX sizing

A 16 inch bike suits a rider of about 96 to 122cm, usually 4 to 7 years old, on a 16 to 16.5 inch top tube. It is the size most kids learn to ride properly on.

160cm and up22"21 to 22.25"
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.
