At 9.4kg, with an 11 inch alloy frame, it is a bike a young rider can lift over a kerb, wheel through the side gate and steer without a fight. Lime green paint makes it easy to spot at the park, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a Light 18 Inch Kids Bike Rides Better\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlenty of children's bikes are heavy steel from head tube to hubs, and a child carrying several extra kilos simply tires faster, wobbles more and gives up sooner. Dawes takes the opposite route. The Blowfish is built around a Dawes Alloy 6061 Junior frame, rolls on alloy single wall rims with 14G spokes and 28H nutted alloy hubs, and stops with alloy V-brakes. A steel unicrown fork adds strength up front, while a single 16T freewheel keeps things simple. Less weight to push and nothing to shift means more energy goes into actually riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Young Riders Will Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6061 Alloy Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the complete bike at 9.4kg, so lifting, turning and pushing uphill feel manageable for smaller arms and legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJunior Reach Brake Levers:\u003c\/strong\u003e alloy levers sit close to the grips, letting small hands pull the V-brakes firmly and stop with confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Speed Drivetrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 36T chainring and 16T freewheel give one steady gear, with no shifters to confuse a newer rider.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushioned Junior Saddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e a padded seat on a 27.2mm alloy seat post keeps longer laps of the park comfortable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlowfish 18 Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlowfish 18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLime Green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheel \/ Frame Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\" wheel, 11\" frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Alloy 6061 Junior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel Unicrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandlebar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54mm wide, 35mm rise, quill stem, black grips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle speed, 16T freewheel, 36T chainring, 140mm crank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlloy V-brakes, junior reach alloy levers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlloy single wall rims, 14G spokes, 28H nutted alloy hubs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTyres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 x 2.125\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH 97 x W 18 x D 48 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.4 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDelivery State\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 85% assembled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for Park Paths and Family Rides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeekend loops of the park, rides to a friend's house and slow pedals beside parents on a dog walk all suit the Blowfish's easy handling.
