Lightweight Trail 1 12in Kid's Bike with coaster brake and beginner-friendly build
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Trail 1 makes learning to ride easy and fun. It’s light, sturdy, and built with quality touches that you don’t often see on beginner bikes—like a full alloy frame, a steel fork, and real bike geometry. Perfect for giving kids a strong start on two wheels."
The Cannondale Trail 1 12in Kid’s Bike is thoughtfully engineered to introduce young riders to biking with confidence and control. Featuring a SmartForm C3 alloy frame with smooth welds and a low standover height, this bike is designed for easy starts and stops. Its compact 12-inch wheels and single-speed drivetrain simplify the ride experience, reducing distractions and keeping kids focused on balance and momentum.
Up front, a rigid steel fork provides responsive handling and holds up to the rigors of curb drops and accidental spills. The drivetrain includes a 24T one-piece crank paired with a 16T rear cog, ideal gearing for building leg strength without making pedaling difficult. Stainless steel spokes, lightweight alloy rims, and wide Innova 12 x 1.75” tires offer stability and traction across pavement and park paths.
Safety is prioritized with a coaster-style rear brake, which keeps operation intuitive and easy to manage for developing riders. Cannondale's Kid’s Comfort contact points—including grips, saddle, and appropriately sized handlebar—ensure a supportive fit. It’s the right tool to launch a lifelong love of riding.
Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
