Meet the Hellion 16
A performance optimised aluminium frame
Built for performance, the Hellion 16 features a triple-butted aluminium frameset with a CNC'd chainstay yoke that’s precision engineered to take big hits like a champ.
The frame tubing has been deliberately crafted to balance strength (at the pressure points) with lightness (everywhere else), to ensure we don’t add unnecessary weight or hinder progress.
Threaded thru axles ramp up frame stiffness while sliding dropouts enable handing and size adjustments as little riders progress.
To top it off, we added internal cable routing because a bike this slick demands it.

A low, slack and short geometry
That’s the assignment and we understood it.
The Hellion 16 is built for performance with a geometry optimised for speed, technical acumen and confidence on the gnarly bits.
The low centre of gravity keeps them balanced in the berms while the slack head tube angle takes (some of the drama) out of descending. The short seat stays give the bike a playful responsive feel (while also making manuals just a little easier to master).

Touchpoints that elevate control
Every one of The Helion 16’s competition level touchpoints are built to save weight without compromising on performance.
We’ve collaborated with the brilliant Ritchey Logic to deliver a perfect rail adjusted ergonomic saddle, combined with robust seat post and quick release clamp. The double butted aluminium bars are strong, light and small enough for mini rippers to keep control.
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.

Gear ready and engineered for fast progression
The Helion 16 is designed for rider and bike progression. As they improve, you’ll find their need for a few gears increases.
We supply the Helion 16 gear-ready, with a separate mech hanger, gear routing and rear hub which allows the addition of a small ratio cassette.
This allows them to learn the fundamentals of gear shifting in a bike they’re comfortable with. And it allows you to eek out way more value from a bike that’s already designed to last a lifetime.

MTB wheels that go hard
Fully sealed bearing hubs, tubeless compatible, double wall rims and optimised spoke count means these wheels rip. Because there’s no point speccing a great bike with weak wheels.
The sealed bearings keep mud, water and corrosion at bay while double wall rims give you twice the confidence on rocks and roots.
The optimised spoke count means you won’t have to worry about buckled wheels while thru axles make the rare times you do need to swap tyres a breeze.

Tan walls for the win
Big adventure requires big tyres and we’re not playing around when it comes to speccing the Helion.
Whether you’re navigating mud, berms, ruts or roots, our 2.25" knobbly tyres deliver traction, control and protection.
And everyone knows that tan wall tyres just look better.

Light, powerful hydraulic disc brakes
At 65g, the 140mm hydraulic powered disc rotors mean business. Because sending it relies on stopping it. With partially rounded edges and 6 bolts you’re also guaranteed extra safety even when you’ve stopped.
The brake levers features a lightweight, and most importantly, adjustable action to accommodate small hands.
We also made the decision to replace the brake fluid with mineral oil. It’s less corrosive and a bit kinder on the environment.
