Belter 16, the world’s bestselling belt drive bicycle. Perfect for adventures on tarmac, gravel, grass, or dirt. All the fun, none of the fuss.
Meet the Belter 16
The Belter 16 is a 5.9kg, durable kids’ bike designed for tarmac, gravel, grass, and dirt. Its progressive geometry supports young riders, prioritising manoeuvrability, stability and pedalling efficiency.
Crafted from 6061-grade aluminium and featuring a low-maintenance, grease-free Gates Carbon Belt drive, it ensures smooth, rust-free rides. With lightweight aluminium wheels, durable weather proof bearings, and child-specific Tektro brakes, the Belter 16 offers control, comfort, and lasting performance.
Geometry to get kids moving
Geometry is at the heart of safety, fun, and progress. Even exploring the local neighbourhood demands a progressive, capable geometry if we want our kids to safely develop proper riding skills.
Just like all of our Belter series, the 16 features short stays so that kids have the manoeuvrability to navigate tight spaces. A relaxed head angle keeps them in control when they bump those curbs and a handlebar high enough for comfort, but low enough to optimise pedal efficiency - so crucial for riding up hills.
A 5.9kg aluminium frame, beautifully crafted to last
We use 6061-grade aluminium in our bikes. It's a fantastic material. Strong yet light, weatherproof and super robust.
It’s also a responsive material transferring more power from the pedals to the wheels. In real terms, this means it’s easier to pedal further for longer.
The benefit is a bike that literally goes the distance.
A no rust, no fuss carbon drive train
The Gates Carbon Belt drive is just a brilliant piece of kit. It replaces the traditional steel chain and cassette with a robust, stretch resistant and best of all completely grease-free drivetrain.
It’s easy to clean, requires almost no maintenance and is good for 20’000km.
Paired with a top-tier hyperglide freehub and aluminium sprockets, you get peak performance from a bike that’s always ready to ride.
Wheels that reset expectations
The Belter wheelset is built for sustained performance, helping little legs travel further and cope with more obstacles over and again.
We were the first bike company to bring cartridge bearings and cassette hubs to any kids bikes. And with the game changing impact our latest 4 bearing model has had on weight, friction and durability, we had no choice but to roll it out.
Coupled with super light weight aluminium rims and cartridge bearing throughout, you can look forward to more of the riding you love, and less of the maintenance you don’t.
Tyres that keep you on track
The Belter 16 runs 2”, fast rolling tyres as standard, so that learning is easier and safer.
Smooth running on the flats, more grippy in wet and more stable over bumps. Now you don’t have to worry if you get caught out by the weather or if you venture off the path.
And with more air there is more cushioning, so that riding won’t just be safer and more adventurous, it’ll be more enjoyable too.
Touchpoints that elevate control
Every one of The Belter’s touchpoints, be that the bars, saddle, pedals or grips has been anatomically designed to properly fit and function for super small riders.
Ritchey Logic have been at the forefront of component design for the past 50 years. We’ve collaborated with them for over a decade, producing some of the best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.
Little levers, big stopping power
The Belter 16 features powerful, age specific Tektro V brakes with ultra short reach levers and light-pull actuation, making braking easy even for the smallest hands. Braking feedback is smooth and responsive, helping new riders learn what smooth stopping feels like, right from the start.
The all-aluminium lever construction ensures the brakes aren’t at risk should the bike be dropped to the ground.
