Frequently asked questions
What bike for a 13-year-old child?
At age 13, average height is around 154 cm. We generally recommend 27.5" wheels, suited for the 148-160 cm range. Check your child's actual height before ordering.
Are 27.5" wheels right at age 13?
Age alone is not enough. A 13-year-old can be shorter or taller than average. If their height is outside 148-160 cm, pick the size from our guide by centimetres, not years.
My 13-year-old is taller than their peers. What should I do?
If they exceed 160 cm, consider wheels larger than 27.5". If they are under 148 cm, a smaller size will give more control. Height beats age when choosing a bike.
What gear do you recommend for a 13-year-old?
A properly sized helmet, gloves and knee pads for first rides. Check brakes and tyre pressure before every outing. At age 13, adult supervision still matters in traffic and on new trails.
