The MX16 — Big Adventures for Growing Riders

For young pedallers aged 3½ to 6 years old, the MX16 is a compact package of fun that builds real riding confidence from the very first pedal stroke!

A handy chain case keeps everything tucked neatly away — no messy chain, no fuss — while grippy tyres give young adventurers the freedom to explore paths and tracks with confidence. Easy to adjust for a perfect fit, the MX16 is designed to keep up as they grow in both height and confidence.

Designed for Young Riders:

Easy-Pedal Cranks — Our pedal cranks are ergonomically correct, proportional to the child's leg length. They also place the pedals closer to the bike's centre so that children can pedal as smoothly and naturally as possible.

Smaller Grips — Our handlebars and grips are narrower diameter so they fit small hands better, for confidence and control as well as better ability to reach the brakes safely.

Better Brakes — Brake levers are closer to the bars and adjustable for reach to suit smaller hands, and work perfectly with our smaller diameter grips.

Lowered Frames — Our frames are lower where it counts, making it easier to get on and off and increasing clearance for greater confidence.

Steering Limiter — To help prevent falls when learning to co-ordinate pedalling and cornering, the steering has a limit stop that helps avoid an over-steering situation.

Designed for Parents:

Supporting Accessory Range — For gifts, customisation or just getting co-ordinated!

Transferable warranty — Our lifetime frame and fork warranty and 2-year parts warranty is transferrable, supporting service and re-sale value. Because these bikes are made to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MX16 weight vs Dimension 16 weight?

The MX16 weighs 7.7kg, compared to 7.3kg for the Dimension 16 — a difference of 0.4kg or about a pound. Both are significantly lighter than budget steel-framed bikes of the same size, which typically weigh 9-10kg or more.

What are the parts differences between the MX16 and the Dimension 16?

The MX16 uses a steel fork and some lower cost parts such as the hubs and tyres to get to a lower price than the Dimension 16. The fit and comfort details are the same between the models as this is the most important aspect in children riding confidently, once the bike is in the right weigh ranges (as they are).
