Size Guide

 Kids Bikes

Finding the correct size bicycle frame is important for making sure a child is comfortable in the saddle, and with reaching the handlebars or pedals. The wrong size can lead to discomfort or even pedaling and steering issues when cycling.

Start by taking measurements of the legs. Take a measuring tape, place it on the floor inside the leg, and measure upwards. Now check the child's measurements against the chart below.

If two children's bike sizes fit, go for the bigger one. It will fit the child for longer as they grow. Measurements below are displayed in both inches and centimeters.

Size Guide: Adult Bikes

When choosing the right size bike for adults, choose a size that fits the leg as close as possible. Everyone has different length legs, regardless of their height!

We strongly recommend measuring the inside leg before choosing a bicycle frame size! Picking the wrong size could lead to discomfort while cycling.

Please see the specific bicycle product pages for pricing and more detailed product information. Adult rider heights are given as a retail guide only.

Which size helmet should I go for?

The best way to make sure the helmet will fit you is to measure your head. This is also the case for kids as age is not a good indicator. 

This is the best way to do this:

  • Have a flexible tape measure and place it around the circumference of your head.
  • Position the tape measure at the middle of your forehead, 2 fingers above your ears and at the widest point at the back of your head.
  • Note the result and then browse our amazing helmet range! Be aware that sizing varies from model to model.
