The everyday bike for every adventure.
From first pedals to proper independence — the Shyre Hopton is the lightweight kids' hybrid that carries them from the park to the school run and beyond. Four sizes, 16" to 26".
A proper kids' bike — not a shrunk-down adult one
Most 'kids' bikes' are adult bikes with the corners cut. The Hopton was drawn around a child's body from the first sketch — and you can feel it the moment they set off.
Light where it counts
A bike a child can handle is a bike they'll love. Every Hopton is built on a featherlight 6061 alloy frame, so even the smallest riders can lift it, lean it and pick it back up when the inevitable happens. Less weight means easier starts, safer stops and far more miles before anyone asks to go home.
Kid-specific geometry keeps them upright and confident: a low standover for easy on-and-off, a short reach so they're never stretched, and steering tuned to be stable rather than twitchy.
Real gears, real control
From the 20" up, every Hopton runs a 7-speed drivetrain with a twist that small hands can actually shift. Hills stop being the enemy, distances stretch, and riding together as a family becomes genuinely fun — for everyone.
Short-reach brake levers are sized for children's fingers, so stopping power is always within reach, in any weather. It's the detail parents notice second and kids benefit from first.
The bike they ride every day should be the best bike they own.
The Shyre family, Shropshire
Four sizes, one journey
The Hopton comes in 16", 20", 24" and 26" wheels, so there's a right-sized bike from age four to the teens. And because kids grow faster than bikes wear out, our Trade-Up programme and lifetime frame warranty mean moving up a size never means starting over.
Each size comes in its own line-up of pop colours — from classic Blue and Green to Pink, Purple, Grey, Red and White depending on the size.
