Description

Stepping it up from the 16 inch without jumping straight into full-size 20? The Raven Trickster 18 inch BMX bike is the sweet spot for younger shredders ready to start getting serious. Built to take a beating and keep rolling, this dialled little machine is stacked with features you normally don’t see at this price.

You’re looking at three-piece chromoly cranks, sealed bearing hubs, sealed MID bottom bracket, and 25-9 gearing—all the right stuff, right where it counts. The frame and fork are made from hi-tensile steel, and the alloy double-wall rims laced to sealed hubs are more than capable of handling curb drops, early park laps, and backyard sessions.

Need to stop in a hurry? You’ve got front and rear brakes—rear U-brake’s already fitted, front caliper’s in the box. The 680mm wide bars and top-load stem give it that pro look and feel, and 2.4 Inch wide tyres keep things planted and plush underfoot. It’s a real BMX, just in an 18 inch size made for smaller riders who are still growing in the game.

If you're chasing maximum value and minimal fuss, the Raven Trickster 18 Inch BMX bike is one of the best first BMX bikes money can buy. Just add a helmet and a little courage.

These are probably the best bang for your buck bikes for beginner riders at this price-point!

Don't forget to spice up your ride with some coloured pedals, tyres and grips to make it special!

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.

Recommended Rider Height:

122-147cm

Colour - Blackout Sunrise

Top Tube Length - 18

An 18 inch bike suits a rider of about 122 to 147cm, usually 7 to 11 years old, on an 18 to 18.5 inch top tube. It is the last step before a full size 20 inch.

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 your rider is near 147cm and still growing, look at a 20 inch instead: it is the size they will keep riding.

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 an 18 and a 20? Take the 20. It is the size they will keep riding, and an 18 gets outgrown quickly.
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.
