Junior pro level dirt jump / trail bike for competitive 4-6 year olds. Built for big hits and confident landings this single speed ripper is supplied with cassette hub and mech hanger to easily upgrade to gears. Featuring a 6.8kg triple-butted aluminium frame, 140mm disc brakes and a tough rear end, the Hellion 16 is the perfect combo of tough and light, perfect for fearless 4-6 year olds.
FEATURES:
Performance Optimized Aluminum: Built for performance, the Hellion 16 features a triple-butted aluminium frameset with a CNC'd chainstay yoke that’s precision engineered to take big hits like a champ. The frame tubing has been deliberately crafted to balance strength (at the pressure points) with lightness (everywhere else), to ensure we don’t add unnecessary weight or hinder progress.
A Low Slack & Short Geometry: That’s the assignment and we understood it.The Hellion 16 is built for performance with a geometry optimised for speed, technical acumen and confidence on the gnarly bits. The low centre of gravity keeps them balanced in the berms while the slack head tube angle takes (some of the drama) out of descending. The short seat stays give the bike a playful responsive feel (while also making manuals just a little easier to master).
Full Gas Chainset: The chainring, crankset and single speed set-up give the Hellion 16 an awesome mix of performance, safety and pedalling efficiency that you simply won’t find on other bikes this size. Narrow wide chain teeth stop the chain from flapping and slipping and work in harmony with shortened 110m cranks for pedalling efficiency.
Touchpoints that elevate control: Every one of The Helion 16’s competition level touchpoints are built to save weight without compromising on performance. We’ve collaborated with the brilliant Ritchey Logic to deliver a perfect rail adjusted ergonomic saddle, combined with robust seat post and quick release clamp. The double butted aluminium bars are strong, light and small enough for mini rippers to keep control.
Engineered for fast progression: The Helion 16 is designed for rider and bike progression. As they improve, you’ll find their need for a few gears' increases. We supply the Helion 16 gear-ready, with a separate mech hanger, gear routing and rear hub which allows the addition of a small ratio cassette.
MTB wheels that go hard: Fully sealed bearing hubs, tubeless compatible, double wall rims and optimised spoke count means these wheels rip. Because there’s no point speccing a great bike with weak wheels. The sealed bearings keep mud, water and corrosion at bay while double wall rims give you twice the confidence on rocks and roots.
Light, Powerful Hydraulic Disc Brake: At 65g, the 140mm hydraulic powered disc rotors mean business. Because sending it relies on stopping it. With partially rounded edges and 6 bolts you’re also guaranteed extra safety even when you’ve stopped. The brake levers feature a lightweight, and most importantly, adjustable action to accommodate small hands.
