BTWIN 16″ Discover 900
It’s unusual to find a lightweight aluminium framed 16″ wheel kids bike at this price point. B’Twin is the in-house brand for Decathlon, which explains why – they’re such a huge company they have economies of scale that many smaller brands don’t have. This means they can deliver a great value kids bike at a cheap price.
Until recently Decathlon’s kids bikes were all heavy steel framed affairs, but they’re been upgrading their range and the B’Twin 16 900 is a great example of what they’ve managed to deliver.
The BTwin 16 weighs in at 6.3kg, which is significantly lighter than most cheap 16 inch kids bikes at this price, or lower.
BTwin 26 Riverside 900
The BTwin 26 is a good choice if you’re looking for a lightweight aluminium framed bike but don’t want the cost of some of the more premium brands. The bike is aimed at ages 9 and over.
This bike has many features you’d want on your child’s bike, including a single chainring for simple gear changes, child-proportioned brake levers to make stopping easier, and hybrid tyres to suit lots of terrains.
