Colony BMX continue on their smaller bike range with the perfectly sized Colony Horizon 16 inch bike.
We've found that a 16 inch BMX bike needs to have a shorter top tube, to suit a smaller rider that doesn't have the strength to move a BMX around properly yet - the Colony Horizon 16 provides a very short 15.9" top tube, which is a really cool feature.
Size appropriate parts and a lightweight alloy frame makes it perfect for a younger rider.
Available in two colours with seriously high level parts means the next generation BMX rider can excel!

Please use BMX bike sizing as a guide only. Size guide does not take into account skill level or riding preference, so you may need to get a longer or shorter top tube length to suit your style of riding.

All BMX bikes are shipped in a bike box at a flat rate
of $35 Australia wide.
Bikes are shipped using Startrack Express or Australia Post,
some assembly is required once received and can be done using a basic BMX tool kit and bike pump.
We provide an optional pre-service bike build to
dramatically cut down on the assembly and prolong the life of your bike, which
can be added at the checkout.
