  • Rear brake ready to go

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

  • Alloy frame, sized for smaller riders. A light 6061T6 frame with an 18.9" top tube and 12.9" rear end, so younger BMXers get a bike that actually fits.
  • Chromoly fork and bars. Tapered CrMo fork legs and 8.5" rise, 26" wide CrMo bars put strong steel in the two spots a learner leans on hardest.
  • Sealed cassette hub with 9T driver. The full sealed bearing rear hub runs a 25T sprocket, so the gearing is light off the mark and the bearings stay clean.
  • Rear brake ready to go. A 990 style rear brake with clear pads and a short reach alloy lever that smaller hands can pull without stretching.
  • Complete Horizon build at 10.6 kg. Family F2128 2.2" tyres on 36 hole alloy rims, a mid sealed bottom bracket and 165mm tubular CrMo cranks, all up 10.6 kgs.

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.

20 inch BMX sizing

A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and suits riders from about 147cm up. At this wheel size the top tube is what changes the fit, so pick that by height.

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. If you land in two bands, riding style breaks the tie: longer for flow, trails and transitions, shorter for technical street and park.

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.

Top tube is measured from the centre of the seat tube to the centre of the head tube, so it is not the same as the length of the tube you can see.

  • A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and most riders end up there, so do not size a tall child down to a smaller wheel.
  • 22, 24 and 26 inch bikes are adult bikes with a bigger wheel, not bigger frames for taller riders.
  • Size up for stability through trails and transitions. Size down if you want the bike quick and twitchy for spins and grinds.
  • Top tube is fixed, but stem length, fork offset and bar position all shift how roomy the bike feels once you are on it.
