Built around a lightweight alloy frame, coupled with appropriately sized geometry, makes the 18" Horizon the perfect bike for the younger, smaller BMXers starting out. Progression & having fun with BMX will come naturally, for all styles of riding, including those aspiring to be a future BMX Freestyle Olympic athlete. With the Colony Horizon series of BMX bikes, there is no limit to where BMX could be taken.
AGE RANGE: 7 TO 12 YEARS.
