For the old-school mountain biking parents there’s a lot of love and nostalgia for rigid mountain bikes. Without the suspension they’ll be more in tune with the trail, and as a result they can learn some great handling skills to take into their cycling lives, both on-road and off. The Scott Scale 26 compensates for the lack of suspension with plush 2.4” tyres, so the ride will still be very comfortable. It also comes with 16-speed Shimano Tourney gearing and hydraulic disc brakes.

The Zinc Flyte is a 12” wheel balance bike with solid tyres, making it more suitable to indoor riding than outdoor, as well as a well-placed footrest for when they pick up speed.
Despite the fact that it’s not ideal for cycling outside, it does come with a built-in rear mudguard, so if your little one is comfortable enough with the solid tyres on uneven surfaces, then at least it’ll keep the road spray at bay.

While a lot of the 16 inch kids' bikes from Halfords are heavy and difficult to ride, the Carrera Cosmos 16 is a good example of an exception. It's built with a lightweight aluminium frame that makes it much easier for a child to control and handle. This focus on a lighter build means it's less of a struggle for them to learn and ride, which can make cycling a lot more fun and help them feel more confident.

With its 16-inch wheels, the bike is designed for a child who has already grasped the basics of riding and is ready for the next step. It's suited for riding on a variety of surfaces, from pavements to park trails. The V-brakes offer reliable stopping power, and the single-speed gear system keeps the mechanics simple and easy to maintain.

Overall, the Carrera Cosmos is a good, straightforward bike for a young rider ready to take on new challenges. Its design prioritises a solid, reliable build that is easier to ride than many heavier 16 inch kids bikes at Halfords.

The Btwin Rockrider 24 Expl 500 is an excellent entry-level mountain bike that offers great value for money and will perform well on the trails. Designed for children aged 9 to 12, it is a much more capable bike than others in its price range that may come with heavy full suspension and complicated gearing. It is a reliable option for families where budget is a priority, as Decathlon's in-house brand is known for durable and accessible bikes.

The bike focuses on the features that matter for this age group, with a simple yet effective 7-speed drivetrain and an Easytrigger shifter that is designed to be easy to operate. The sturdy steel frame and 50mm of front suspension are perfect for tackling mixed terrain like paths, trails, and gravel. It also comes with all-terrain lugged tires for good traction and control.

For parents, a great feature is the quick-release front wheel, which makes the bike easier to transport in the car. It's a bike that gives children a gentle introduction to off-road riding without being overly complicated or heavy. We are impressed with the quality of bikes in the BTWIN range, and this is a great option if you're looking for a good off-road bike that won't break the bank.

The Carrera Centos Hybrid 26 is a budget-friendly kids' bike that offers a grown-up look for older children. As a budget option, it is a good way to introduce your child to a multi-geared bike for riding on roads, paths, and light tracks. It comes equipped with a kickstand and V-brakes.

It is worth noting that this is a heavy bike, coming in at 18kg, which can be a challenge for a child to handle. The gear system features a double chainring with 14 gears, which can be overly complicated for a child new to changing gears.

For these reasons, if you're looking for a bike that is easier for your child to ride and enjoy, you might want to consider other options.

The Carrera Luna 24 is a Budget 24-inch wheel mountain bike for young riders aged 8 to 11.

It is offers much better quality than the cheaper options found at Halfords and your child will appreciate this.

Its lightweight aluminium frame and front suspension are good for family rides and gentle off-road paths. While the bike is quite heavy at 14kg, it should be manageable on easier terrain.

Dependable mechanical disc brakes will give your child confidence and reliable stopping power, especially in the wet.

The 14-speed Revoshift gearing is more complex to operate than a single chain ring found on more expensive bikes, but the shifters are designed to be easy for kids hands to use.
