Early Rider Charger 16" Kids Mountain Bike (MY27)

Go faster, handle harder, enjoy more.

The Charger 16 is a premium 16" hardtail bike designed for young riders ready to take on real trails. Featuring RST F1RST 60mm air suspension forks and a lightweight, trail-optimized frame geometry, the Charger 16 delivers superior control, comfort, and handling. Sealed bearing wheels with bolt-thru axles provide strength and smooth rolling performance, while wide Kenda Booster 2.2" tires offer excellent grip on varied terrain. Reduced-diameter grips ensure a secure, comfortable hold for smaller hands. With gear compatibility for future upgrades and a refined chain-driven drivetrain using a new 90mm chainset, the Charger 16 offers improved pedal efficiency for growing riders who are ready to go further.
