As a dedicated mountain biking dad with years of experience riding, racing, and maintaining bikes, I was looking for a quality, lightweight build that would help develop my 4-year-old son's bike riding skills and confidence. The design aspects described by Base are spot on, with no compromises or shortcuts.
The Base 16 has exceeded all my expectations in every way. The quality is top-notch and offers great value for money. It's been an absolute game-changer for my son and has brought so much joy to our riding.
What I love the most:
- Lightweight and easy to manage
- Great geometry ensuring a stable ride
- Quality front and back v-brakes (no pedal brake) suited for small hands
- Super adjustable to fine-tune an ever-changing riding position as he grows.
Tip: To get the best experience out of the first ride, make sure the bike is set up correctly for your child by someone experienced and skilled.
Thank you, Base Bikes, for producing such an awesome product! Already have my sights on the Base 20 for the next stage.
