Description

This bike is absolutely psycho- just as the name suggests! Radio have outdone themselves with this formidable bike and the specs tab proves it! Some of the incredible parts installed on this beast include Salt Tracer Tyres in a nice and wide 2.2", Radio Am Hub Set, Radio Am Chromoly Three Piece Cranks, Salt Pro Headset and loads more. If you are looking for a bike for your kids to thoroughly enjoy- look no further!

Features

  • Sized for younger riders. An 18" top tube, 26.5" bars and 152mm cranks put a smaller rider in a proper riding position.
  • Chromoly down tube and cranks. Chromoly in the down tube and in the tubular 3-piece cranks puts strength where a kid's bike cops the most abuse.
  • Wide Salt Tracer tyres. 2.2" tyres front and rear give plenty of grip on concrete and dirt while your kid learns the ropes.
  • Salt Pro sealed headset. An integrated sealed bearing headset keeps the front end turning smoothly, and the frame has holes for removable gyro tabs.
  • Sealed MID bottom bracket. Press fit sealed bearings in the middle and a semi-sealed Radio AM cassette hub keep the muck out of the drivetrain.

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.

18 inch BMX sizing

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.

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 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.
