The relaxed geometry ensures comfort and stability for adventurous kids while MTB wheels with sealed bearings and double-wall rims offer durability and multi-kid riding.

Closer look

The full story

A beautifully crafted, hard as nails disc brake frame set

With its powerful hydraulic disc brakes, rigid forks and sliding dropouts the Seeker X16 puts some adult MTBs to shame.

The Seeker X16 is light and responsive thanks to the 6061-grade aluminium we spec all our bikes with. While the sliding dropouts give little rippers adaptable handling as they progress.

Spec'd with 140mm hydraulic disc brakes, weighing just 65g, progressive young riders get stopping power they can trust when the trail gets technical.

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.

Geometry to get kids moving

With its powerful hydraulic disc brakes, rigid forks and sliding dropouts the Seeker X16 puts some adult MTBs to shame.

The Seeker X16 is light and responsive thanks to the 6061-grade aluminium we spec all our bikes with. While the sliding dropouts give little rippers adaptable handling as they progress.

Spec'd with 140mm hydraulic disc brakes, weighing just 65g, progressive young riders get stopping power they can trust when the trail gets technical.

MTB wheels that go hard

There’s no point speccing a great bike with weak wheels. And the double wall rims, optimised spoke count and corrosion resistant fully sealed bearing hubs mean these wheels rip.

There’s no risk of buckles or wheel dings with double wall rims and a spoke count designed for the rigours of trail riding, without losing any performance on tightly packed gravel and tarmac.

The 4 Bearing Hub is pleasingly buzzy, just like the big kids.

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 X16’s adventure optimised touch points are built to save weight without compromising on comfort.

We’ve collaborated with the brilliant Ritchey Logic to deliver a perfect fit ergonomic saddle, combined with ultra light weight seat post and quick release clamp. The double butted aluminium bars are strong, light and small enough for mini rippers to keep control.

Light, powerful hydraulic disk brakes

At 65g, the 140mm hydraulic powered disc rotors mean business. Because sending it relies on stopping it. With partially rounded edges and 6 bolts you’re also guaranteed extra safety even when you’ve stopped.

The brake levers features a lightweight, and most importantly, adjustable action to accommodate little hands,

We also made the decision to replace the brake fluid with mineral oil. It’s less corrosive and a bit kinder on the environment.

Great solid bike, with cool looks. Nice low weight for this type of bike and tires. Love the belt drive. Good adjustability on the disc brake levers.

Superb

Recently purchased the Seeker X16 for my other halfs 4 year old daughter who'd outgrown her balance bike and was saying she wants to ride bikes with me when she's bigger. Decided the seeker X16 was the ideal bike to get her on with it being built perfectly for young children but sturdy enough to ride trails and get wheels off the ground. Not cheap but it is well built and thought out especially having belt drive to reduce the weight a little.

Lottie is loving being out on it and has already been off a small wooden kicker ramp I built, I'm sure it won't be long before we're hitting some blue trails

Perfekt

Fahrrad als Geschenk zum 4. Geburtstag für meinen Sohn. Er ist aufgestiegen und mit kurzem Anschieben sofort Fahrrad gefahren. Das war das erste Mal, dass er auf einem Fahrrad saß.

Es ist schön leicht. Die Bremsen kann man so einstellen, dass er auch mit den kleinen Händen perfekt Bremsen kann.

Er hatte vorher das Charger Laufrad mit Bremse. Die hydraulische Scheibenbremse am Seeker X16 funktioniert wesentlich leichter. Er kommt super damit zurecht.

Wir wurden sogar schon von Passanten wegen des schönen Fahrrades angesprochen.

Wir freuen uns über die Investition. Es ist wirklich jeden Cent wert. Schön, dass es auch noch wirklich gute Produkte für Kinder zu kaufen gibt.

Er wünscht sich noch einen Seitenständer - wäre schön, wenn sowas bei EarlyRider direkt mit angeboten werden würde. Ich weiß, an dieses Fahrrad gehört eigentlich kein Seitenständer...
