Dawes Lil Duchess Junior Bike 16" Wheel, 10" Steel Frame with Basket in Purple

Dawes Lil Duchess Junior Bike 16" in Purple

The Lil Duchess is a 16 inch girls bike from Dawes for younger riders who want a bike with character as well as proper junior sizing. Purple paint, floral accents and a wicker basket give it heritage style borrowed from the Dawes Classic range, while the 10 inch steel frame and junior components make it genuinely easy for small riders to handle.

More Than Pretty Paintwork

Style-led children's bikes sometimes forget about fit, leaving riders stretching for levers and pedals that were never sized for them. The Lil Duchess avoids that with shortened cranks, narrow-gauge grips, a cushioned junior saddle and junior reach alloy levers on a 10 inch Dawes Steel City frame. V-brakes front and rear give responsive stopping, alloy single wall rims sit on 20H nutted steel hubs, and a full chain guard and reflectors add peace of mind. Dawes has been building bikes in Birmingham since 1926, and it shows in the thinking here.

Small Rider, Proper Bike

• 10 Inch Steel City Frame: a robust frame designed to withstand the adventures of childhood on pavements and park paths.
• Junior-Specific Components: shortened cranks, narrow-gauge grips and a junior saddle sized to fit little bodies properly.
• V-Brakes Front and Rear: responsive stopping through junior reach alloy levers that small hands can operate with ease.
• Wicker Basket and Reflectors: room for a favourite toy up front, plus reflectors for extra visibility on the pavement.

16 Inch Girls Bike Specification

Designed for Sunny Afternoon Rides

Pedalling round the cul-de-sac, riding alongside parents on a weekend walk or heading to the park with a picnic in the basket all suit the Lil Duchess perfectly. Its upright position keeps young riders comfortable while they look around and enjoy the ride.
