Islabikes Cnoc 16

Islabikes Cnocs have been the first bike of choice for nearly 20 years and still deliver a fantastic learning experience. The Cnoc 16 is a beautifully proportioned pedal bike for children aged 3+ who are ready to ride — whether they're true beginners or graduating from a balance bike. Designed by Isla Rowntree, these learner bikes have made the biggest difference to young cyclists, with multiple interacting design details that make them simply easier to learn on than anything else.

 

Why the Cnoc 16?

• Featherlight at just 5.3kg — effortless for small legs to pedal and easy for parents to carry
• Micro-reach brake levers — aluminium levers sized for the smallest hands, giving confident, controlled braking
• Ultra-narrow pedalling stance — keeps little legs in a stable, efficient pedalling action for natural riding posture
• Fully enclosed chain guard — Islabikes' exclusive no-tools design keeps fingers safe and clothing clean
• Puncture-protected tyres — Islabikes Mixte 16" folding tyres with 72TPI and reflective sidewalls for safety

 

Built for Small Riders

Every component on the Cnoc 16 is proportioned for young children, not simply scaled down from adult parts. The ultra-slim grips fit tiny hands perfectly, the ergonomic saddle supports developing riders, and the lightweight aluminium frame with cro-moly forks delivers a ride that inspires confidence from the very first push.
