For a cyclist scaling a peak, it’s trust in his bicycle that makes all the difference!
FIND MY BIKEBeing a parent, finding the perfect cycle for your girl child is an important responsibility. Having a cycle at an early stage of growth is said to be extremely beneficial for the child’s physical development, stamina, balance, and mental well-being. However, choosing the right bicycle for your little girl requires careful consideration and thorough planning. It is more than just visiting a cycle store and making a purchase. There are additional factors and features to keep in mind.
When purchasing a girls’ cycle, there are several factors to consider: the wheel size, gears, brakes, and durability. We all have fond memories of our first bicycle, the moments of joy and challenge as we learned to ride. It’s important to provide our kids with the same experience and opportunities for growth.
At Firefox Bikes, we understand that buying a girl’s cycle can be a daunting task. We believe girls’ cycles should not be limited to a specific colour or solely focus on appearance. Instead, they should empower girls and instil confidence as they embrace the joy of cycling. You can expect more When choosing a girls’ bicycle from Firefox Bikes.

While girls can ride any bike regardless of its design or colour, we understand that some girls may prefer bikes with traditional girl styling. At Firefox Bikes, we have various girls’ cycles with Disney graphics, colours and patterns for that added fun element.
Considering that, on average, girls weigh less than boys, finding a bike less than 40% of a child's weight can be challenging. The weight of the cycle should be light so that the child can balance the cycle well. But, building a lightweight yet high-quality bike comes with a high cost. At Firefox Bikes, we understand this and have built various cycles with this criterion checked.
A child's posture while riding a bike greatly affects comfort and manoeuvrability. Traditional "girl bikes" typically position the rider in a more upright stance, which casual or timid riders prefer. On the other hand, more aggressive riders may prefer a leaned-in position to maximize control during turns. For larger sizes like 20" and 24", we provide options catering to timid riders who prefer an upright position and aggressive riders who prefer a leaned-in stance.
Traditional girls' bikes often feature step-through frames for easier mounting and dismounting. While step-through frames do offer convenience in this regard, they do not necessarily enhance overall bike performance. Consequently, we did not prioritize bikes with step-through frames. Interestingly, all high-end bikes have the same frame design for both "boys" and "girls" bikes, with the only distinction being the colour.
At Firefox Bikes, we strive to provide a diverse range of girls' cycles considering these important factors. We believe that girls deserve high-quality bikes that cater to their preferences and deliver exceptional performance. Our collection features carefully selected options, ensuring that girls can enjoy the thrill of cycling while riding a bike that suits their styles and requirements.
When finding the right cycle size for your child, the best approach is to have them try different bike models. This way, they can sit on the seat, grip the handlebars, test the brakes, and take the bike for a spin to ensure a comfortable fit and pedalling experience. At Firefox Bikes, our knowledgeable staff are available at your local store to provide personalized fit recommendations and guidance. However, if visiting a store isn't possible, you can still find the right bike online by comparing your child's measurements with the cycle's specifications.
One important thing to note is that kids' bikes are measured based on wheel size, unlike adult cycles, measured by frame size. The most common kids' bikes start with 12" wheels and go up to 24". Beyond that, older kids can transition to adult-sized bikes with 26" wheels.
However, wheel size is the starting point when choosing a kids' bike. The following method can serve as a rough guide, but trying the bike in person is crucial rather than solely relying on age ranges. Children's height, torso length, and leg proportions can vary within the same age group. For example, a bike that fits one 7-year-old may be too big for another 7-year-old with shorter legs. A properly sized bike ensures ease of handling and enhances safety and enjoyment while riding.
We understand the importance of selecting the right girls' cycle size at Firefox Bikes. We offer a wide range of girls' bicycles, including cycles for girls aged 12 years and bicycles suitable for girls aged 10. Our collection features girls' cycles designed with comfort, performance, and durability.
If you’re shopping online, you can narrow your choices by measuring the child’s inseam (the inside leg length) to ensure enough clearance above the bike’s stand-over height. Look for listed stand-over heights for specific bikes and compare that number to the child’s inseam. The inseam should be higher than the stand-over height so the child isn’t resting on the top tube.
