Highlights

  • Fully sealed integrated headset
  • Lighter frame and fork for 2026
  • Pre-drilled for thread-on gyro tabs
  • 24-9 gearing, sealed cassette hub

Description

With young riders constantly pushing the limits, smaller bikes need to keep pace. The MISFIT 16” from FIT Bikes is the smallest model in the lineup to feature a fully sealed integrated headset. Built around a CNC-machined headtube and pre-drilled for thread-on Gyro tabs.

For 2026, FIT has drawn inspiration from its aftermarket frames to lighten up both the frame and fork, creating a more responsive ride. The result is a bike that’s as capable and imaginative as the next generation of riders it’s built for.

Features

  • Fully sealed integrated headset. The smallest bike in the Fit line to get one, built around a CNC-machined head tube so the front end stays smooth.
  • Lighter frame and fork for 2026. Fit drew on its aftermarket frames to trim weight, which makes the bike more responsive under a small rider.
  • Pre-drilled for thread-on gyro tabs. Bar spins can come later without buying a new frame, so the bike grows with what the rider learns.
  • 24-9 gearing, sealed cassette hub. A Fit Bite 24T sprocket into a sealed 9T cassette rear wheel: light to pedal and quick to pick up speed.
  • Brakes set up for small hands. A U-brake with low tension springs, a short reach lever and a linear cable, so stopping takes less effort at the bars.

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 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.
