Description

Pure tech wizardry, straight out of the box.

The Colony Rico Elite is a premium rig built for serious riding. Designed with input from Colony's precision tech-lord Paterico Fallico, the Rico Elite is a no-compromise complete that delivers pro-level performance from the jump.

The full CrMo Rico Pro frame is dialled with a 20.6” top tube, steep 75.5° head tube angle, and a snappy 12.9” slammed rear end – perfect for those fast pop-outs and nose balance game. With a low BB height of 11.5" and removable brake mounts, it’s ready to absolutely rip. The extra-wide rear end clears modern fat tyres with ease, because grip matters.

Up front, the Guardian forks with a clean 25mm offset give you that tight front-end feel, with full heat-treated CrMo and a 1-piece CNC steerer for long-term strength. And the Guardian bars (9.4” x 29.5”) mean you’re set up for tech control without giving up leverage.

Underneath, the bike rolls on Colony Pintour rims wrapped in 2.35” Griplock rubber, matched with a Wasp front hub and Clone freecoaster out back – all sealed, all protected with hub guards. Cranks? You’re getting Venator 170mm 48-spline cranks with a beefy 22mm spindle. Spin to win.

Topped off with a full Colony cockpit – Squareback stem, Much Room grips, and that signature Rico pivotal seat – the Rico Elite is dripping with details that matter.

The Rico Elite is a high end 20 Inch BMX bike setup for all types of riding. Be it hitting parks, trails or street riding this bike has you covered. It will especially suit those that want to aspire to be a tech lord like Paterico Fallico.

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.

Top Tube Length - 20.6

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.

Rider height	Wheel size	Top tube
60 to 91cm	12"	12 to 12.5"
81 to 106cm	14"	14 to 14.5"
96 to 122cm	16"	16 to 16.5"
122 to 147cm	18"	18 to 18.5"
147 to 157cm	20"	19.75 to 20.25"
157 to 168cm	20"	20 to 20.5"
168 to 175cm	20"	20.25 to 20.75"
175 to 183cm	20"	20.5 to 21"
183 to 190cm and up	20"	20.75 to 21.5"
160cm and up	22"	21 to 22.25"
160cm and up	24"	21.75 to 22"
160cm and up	26"	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.

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