Adventure made easier.

Meet the Seeker 16

The Seeker 16 is designed for all-terrain adventures. Its relaxed geometry ensures comfort, stability, and better muscle engagement for longer rides. The Gates Carbon Belt Drive is clean, durable, and maintenance-free for up to 20,000 km. The lightweight 5.95kg aluminium frame provides strength and efficiency while easy-rolling trail specific wheels extend the day while knobbly 2.25" tires guarantee traction no matter the terrain.

Closer look

The full story

Geometry to get kids moving

A great adventure bike should be comfortable, easy to pedal and stable on changeable terrain.

We’ve gone for a relaxed, stable geometry for the Seeker. We want kids to be upright-ish for comfort but still able to engage their core and glutes (the muscles that keep you pedalling for longer.)

The front end of the bike (wheel base) is stretched out, making it stable and less likely to flick out unexpectedly if the front wheel hits a curb or tree root.

Finally, the stack and reach (the angles of the triangle bit of the frame) are not too high and not too stretched, making descending fun not frightening. Progress comes when those 3 areas of geometry work in harmony.

A, no rust, no fuss carbon drive train

The Gates Carbon Belt drive is just a brilliant piece of kit. It replaces the traditional steel chain and cassette with a robust, stretch resistant and best of all clean drivetrain.

It’s easy to clean, requires almost no maintenance and is good for 20’000km.

Paired with a top-tier cassette hub and sealed cartridge bearings, it delivers peak all weather, all terrain performance.

Wheely great wheels

Super lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted to last for years

We use 6061-grade aluminium in our bikes, It’s a fantastic material. Strong yet light, weatherproof and super robust.

It’s also a responsive material transferring more power from the pedals to the wheels. In real terms, this means it’s easier to pedal further for longer.

The benefit is a bike that literally goes the distance.

Tyres that keep them on track

Big adventure requires big tyres and we’re not playing around when it comes to speccing the Seeker.

Whether you’re navigating mud, berms, ruts or roots, our 2.25" knobbly tyres deliver traction, control and protection.

Bigger tyre volume means more air and therefore more cushioning, so that riding won’t just be safer and more adventurous, it’ll be more enjoyable too.

Touchpoints that elevate control

Every one of the Seeker’s touchpoints, be that the bars, saddle, pedals or grips has been anatomically designed to properly fit and function for super small riders.

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.

Light, powerful brakes they can trust

Fast fun bikes need quick light brakes because stopping should be as comfortable and fear-free as going.

We design The Seeker with powerful, age specific Tektro V brakes with ultra short reach levers and light-pull actuation, making braking easy even for the smallest of hands. Braking feedback is smooth and responsive, helping developing riders understand what smooth stopping feels like when the riding picks up.

The all aluminium lever construction ensures the brakes aren’t at risk should the bike inevitably be dropped to the ground.

Awesome lightweight bike

The bike feels well built with good components.

The weight of the bike makes it easier for my kid to start and stop.

Maybe that the reach is a bit to long, which makes her look a bit too aggressive in the position on the bike.

However, the bike is the lightest I’ve found and for a kid, that’s what’s matters the most.

Perfect bike to start with the journey

It is a masterpiece and well designed bike if you look for a bike for your child. Our girl loves it, simply! She had the smaller version as well, and it is time to size it up.
