The Vitus 16 is designed specifically around new riders that are progressing from their first pedal bike to something a little bigger.
Similar to the Vitus 14, the 16 features geometry that optimizes stability and performance with a light weight 6061 aluminium frameset.
Featuring child friendly components such as short reach adjustable brake levers, smaller diameter handlebar grips and a bespoke chainset. Which in turn all helps improve riding stability, control and confidence, and ensure cycling is a fun experience. The 16 features a child friendly single speed gearing with a light enough action to be used on or off road. To help your child learn to stop with ease, the bike comes fitted with Tektro V-Brakes giving relable braking performance, and easy operation.
To help stability and pedalling efficiency, the 16 features a dedicated chainset that has a reduced Q Factor. This brings the pedals as close to the centre of the bike as possible, inline with the hips. As it's name implies the 16 features 16" wheels and tyres. All-purpose Vee Speedster tyres are equally at home on hard pavement or off-road trails. The Vitus 16 is also supplied with a removeable full length chain guard for added safety.
