The Hornit HERO 20” kids’ bike is lightweight, tough, and built for performance.  It's ideally suited for children aged 5 to 8 years, with a recommended inside leg measurement of 49 to 64cm and height between 110 and 125cm.

With 20" wheel geared bikes, the ride itself no longer poses problems for little cyclists.  On the contrary, kids often begin to push the boundaries on what can be done on a bike.

8-speed gears in combination with an easy-to-operate trigger shifter expand the bike's range of use and increase the child's mobility, making the HERO 20 a great choice for kids ready to explore further on roads, paths, and light trails, or longer, more adventurous rides.

Hornit HERO - Not all bikes are created equal.

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 7.95kg, the HERO 20 is among the lightest 20” bikes on the market.

Perfectly proportioned frame

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.

Child-friendly brakes, bars and grips

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.

Maximising efficiency

Given so many children learn on balance bikes, they are ready for a comfortable, sportier riding position.  The riding position, crank lengths, and gearing on HERO bikes are all designed for maximum efficiency, so children love them as much as Hornit loves designing them.

Shifting made easy

The microSHIFT Acolyte shifter takes the learning curve out of changing gears.  Designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible, microSHIFT’s light, yet positive action, crystal-clear gear indicator, and enough gear range to climb any obstacle, make it perfect for children using gears for the first time.
