Meet the Hellion 16

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. Threaded thru axles boost stiffness, while sliding dropouts and internal cable routing ensure versatility and sleekness. Low, slack geometry provides stability and confidence, while narrow-wide chainring and 110mm cranks enhance pedalling efficiency without the chain slap. Tubeless-compatible wheels with sealed hubs tackle tough trails, and hydraulic brakes with eco-friendly mineral oil ensure safe, reliable stopping for little shredders.

Closer look

The full story

A performance optimised aluminium frame

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.
Threaded thru axles ramp up frame stiffness while sliding dropouts enable handing and size adjustments as little riders progress.
To top it off, we added internal cable routing because a bike this slick demands it.

A low, slack and 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).

A no fuss, 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.

The single speed set up saves weight while allowing little ones to give the trail their full attention.

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.

Ritchey Logic have been at the forefront of component design for the past 50 years. We’ve collaborated with them for over a decade, producing some of the best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.

Gear ready and 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.

This allows them to learn the fundamentals of gear shifting in a bike they’re comfortable with. And it allows you to eek out way more value from a bike that’s already designed to last a lifetime.

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.

The optimised spoke count means you won’t have to worry about buckled wheels while thru axles make the rare times you do need to swap tyres a breeze.

Tan walls for the win

Big adventure requires big tyres and we’re not playing around when it comes to speccing the Helion.

Whether you’re navigating mud, berms, ruts or roots, our 2.25" knobbly tyres deliver traction, control and protection.

And everyone knows that tan wall tyres just look better.

Light, powerful hydraulic disc brakes

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 features a lightweight, and most importantly, adjustable action to accommodate small hands.

We also made the decision to replace the brake fluid with mineral oil. It’s less corrosive and a bit kinder on the environment.

Great bike

It’s the second bike we’ve picked up for my 4-year-old—he started out on the Seeker 14 kids bike, and now he’s riding the Hellion 16 kids bike. He already learned a ton on his first bike, and this one is really taking his skills to the next level.

Honestly, there’s nothing better than hitting the trails together in the Southern Alps France. He’s already sending little jumps, throwing in some drifts, and just having a blast. These bikes didn’t just teach him how to ride, they sparked a real passion for MTB.

Can’t wait to get him on the Hellion X24 kids bike… that’s when things get serious 🤘

What a Machine!

So this is a rather long term review of the Hellion 16 with over 1000km of riding. We bought the bike for our daughter's 4th birthday having outgrown her seeker 14 (another superb bike) which was passed on to her 2 year old brother.

The sales service was excellent and the bike quick and easy to set up out of the box with only a few minor preferential tweaks needed and some ride wrap to protect that stunning purple paint.

Our daughter progressed onto the Hellion 16 seamlessly and her confidence and control instantly improved. We were a little apprehensive about the power of the hydraulic brakes initially, but kids are surprisingly adaptive and they only inspired more confidence and no more complaints of tired hands on long descents.

The geometry is definitely well suited for kids providing stability at speed but yet still nimble at lower speeds. We found with the larger pedals we added it was prone to pedal strikes on flat corners but if anything this helped our daughter's technique for the better.

The stock gear ratio was a good compromise between speed and climbing ability. The addition of a rear hanger and readiness to add gears was fantastic. Thank you Jake for the technical support for fitting gears, this made a world of difference to our daughter's riding immediately!

The quality of the design and build is fantastic, and in the 1000km ridden so far on the bike we have had to do nothing more than clean it and raise the seat height. The bike still sounds and…

Fantastic bike and outstanding service

Our 4-year-old daughter absolutely loves her new Hellion 16.

As a bike-obsessed dad, it was clear she needed a really good bike – and that’s exactly what we found here!

There was a small issue with the crank at first, but the service that followed was truly exceptional: personal contacts, transparent communication, incredibly dedicated and highly competent.

Now our daughter is happily back in the saddle, grinning from ear to ear – we couldn’t ask for more. 😉🚲

Best bike ever

So stoked with the Hellion 16”

Makes such a difference for the kids to have a good bike. We went from a cheap heavy bike to this and our daughter’s attitude completely changed. Suddenly she wanted to bike everywhere all the time having not really enjoyed it that much before.

We live in the mountains so having the disc brakes is also a game changer and can ride the steep roads to school without worrying if she can stop.

Amazing

Best 16 inch bike

Excellent. Only kids bike I've seen that is built like a proper bike. Brakes are awesome but might need a new rear tyre soon!
