The Hornit HERO 16” kids’ bike is superlight, tough and beautifully designed.  It’s tailored for growing riders aged 3 to 6 years with a recommended inside leg measurement of 40 to 51cm and height between 100 and 115cm.

Weighing in at just 5.55kg, the HERO 16 is among the lightest 16” bikes on the market.  Built with a strong, yet light aluminium frame with a ‘leaned-in’ geometry, this bike is easier to pedal uphill than bikes with a more upright geometry, ensuring a more enjoyable riding experience.

Using scaled-down components helps kids ride safely and comfortably, making this is the perfect 16” bike for growing confidence.

Hornit HERO - Not all bikes are created equal.

Seriously lightweight

A lighter bike is easier to learn on and means your child will be happy to ride further than on a heavier bike.  At 5.55kg, the HERO 16 is among the very lightest 16” bikes on the market.

A comfortable riding position is key both on the flats and the uphills.  This translates into a geometry that is optimised to allow a leaned-in position and a narrow Q-factor to cater to children’s narrower hips.  The lower handlebar position offers more stability, balance, and control, making it quicker and easier to learn.

Short-reach, adjustable brake levers make it easier for children with small hands, and narrow, child-friendly handlebars with contoured grips improve handling and control.
