Looking for a BMX before the move to 18-inch wheels? The Kink Carve uses 16-inch wheels and 140 mm three-piece chromoly cranks to bring the setup down to a smaller rider.

Check the fit for your child

The suggested rider height is around 96–122 cm. Kink’s general 16-inch size chart suggests approximately 96–122 cm as a starting point. Proportions and experience also matter. Compare the 16.5-inch top tube and 7-inch bar rise with your child’s reach. Check that they can comfortably use the Mission Mini brake lever.

Equipment sized for the rider

The Cypress Mini Combo saddle and Helix Mini grips give a smaller rider suitably scaled contact points. Mission Tracker 16 x 2.4-inch tyres come fitted to Mission X7 rims. The rear Mission Cease V2 brake lets the rider manage speed during practice.

The 19 mm Mid bottom bracket uses cartridge bearings. Check and service the bike regularly.

Safety while riding

Freestyle BMX riding puts high loads through the bike during tricks, jumps and landings. No bike is indestructible: parts can wear out or become damaged. Check the frame, fork, bars, wheels, axles, cranks, pedals, brakes and bolted connections before every ride. Inspect the bike after a hard impact and stop riding if you find looseness, cracks or damage. Have any problem checked and repaired before riding again.

Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads. Read our important information before buying and riding a BMX bike for assembly, servicing and riding checks.
