Islabikes Cnoc 16

[sc name="islabikes-closure" ][/sc]

The Islabikes Cnoc 16 is a great bike for children starting out on their cycling journey.  It has everything you want from a first bike in terms of child sized components, longevity and is very lightweight (5.6kg).

Islabikes are so well made there will be plenty of Cnoc 16’s available secondhand for a long time.

Mudguards, off-road tyres and a kickstand are available for this bike, and these can still be bought direct from Islabikes who now only trade in spares and accessories.

Alternatives to the Islabikes Cnoc 16

If you’d rather buy a new bike for your child, we highly recommend these great quality bikes which are as equally well designed as the Cnoc 16, and just as fun to ride.

Woom 3   woom have stepped into the void left by Islabikes. We’ve always been seriously impressed with every one of their bikes we’ve reviewed and they’re built to last.

Woom 3 Automagic – this is our standout 16″ wheel bike as it comes with gearing that works without your child having to do anything. Magic!

YOMO 16 – a great quality bike,  at a slightly lower price than the woom  [sc name="yomo-helmet-offer" ][/sc]
