Ridgeback MX16 - 2026
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.Supporting Accessory Range — For gifts, customisation or just getting co-ordinated!
