The MX14 — Big Fun in a Compact Package
For children aged 2½ to 4 years old, the MX14 is a compact package of fun that builds real riding confidence from the very first pedal stroke!
A handy chain case keeps everything tucked neatly away — no messy chain, no fuss — while grippy tyres give young adventurers the freedom to explore paths and tracks with confidence. Easy to adjust for a perfect fit, the MX14 is designed to keep up as they grow in both height and confidence.
Easy-Pedal Cranks — Our pedal cranks are ergonomically correct, proportional to the child's leg length. They also place the pedals closer to the bike's centre so that children can pedal as smoothly and naturally as possible.
Smaller Grips — Our handlebars and grips are narrower diameter so they fit small hands better, for confidence and control as well as better ability to reach the brakes safely.
Better Brakes — Brake levers are closer to the bars and adjustable for reach to suit smaller hands, and work perfectly with our smaller diameter grips.
Lowered Frames — Our frames are lower where it counts, making it easier to get on and off and increasing clearance for greater confidence.
Steering Limiter — To help prevent falls when learning to co-ordinate pedalling and cornering, the steering has a limit stop that helps avoid an over-steering situation.
Supporting Accessory Range — For gifts, customisation or just getting co-ordinated!
Transferable warranty — Our lifetime frame and fork warranty and 2-year parts warranty is transferrable, supporting service and re-sale value. Because these bikes are made to last.
What is the MX14 weight vs Dimension 14 weight?
The MX14 weighs 7kg, compared to 6.6kg for the Dimension 14 — a difference of 0.4kg or about a pound. Both are significantly lighter than budget steel-framed bikes of the same size, which typically weigh 8-9kg or more.
What are the parts differences between the MX14 and the Dimension 14?
The MX14 uses a steel fork and some lower cost parts such as the hubs and tyres to get to a lower price than the Dimension 14. The fit and comfort details are the same between the models as this is the most important aspect in children riding confidently, once the bike is in the right weigh ranges (as they are).
