Eightshot Size Chart
Eightshot specialises in kids' and youth bikes. Body height is the most important sizing factor; wheel size alone is not sufficient. If in doubt, Eightshot recommends a test ride at a specialist retailer.
Official Basic Recommendation by Body Height
| Body height | Wheel size | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| from approx. 105 cm | 16 in | small kids' MTB / entry level |
| from approx. 117 cm | 20 in | kids' MTB |
| from approx. 128 cm | 24 in | kids' / youth MTB |
| from approx. 143 cm | 27.5 in | youth MTB |
Model Examples – Product-Specific Sizing
| Model | Wheel | Body height | Inseam | Age |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| COADY 16 SL | 16 in | from approx. 105 cm | check exact product | from approx. 3 years according to FuW description |
| COADY 24 SL | 24 in | from approx. 128 cm | check exact product | from approx. 7 years according to FuW description |
| COADY 275 SL DISC | 27.5 in | 143–165 cm | 69–84 cm | youth |
| JAMBAM 24 | 24 in | 140–165 cm | 69–84 cm | 7+ years |
| GROOT 246 | convertible 24 / 26 in | 130–155 cm | 62–72 cm | 7+ years |
Model-specific guidance takes priority: The general 16/20/24/27.5-inch recommendation is only a guide. Models such as JAMBAM and GROOT have their own geometry and height ranges.
How to Choose
- Measure body height without shoes.
- If the model specifies inseam, also measure from the floor to the crotch.
- The child must be able to control the bike safely when standing and starting.
- At a size boundary, do not automatically choose the larger bike; consider geometry and riding ability.
Safety notice: Kids' bikes must match the rider's current height and ability. Adjust saddle height, brake levers and cockpit correctly. Wear a helmet and check brakes, tyres, wheels and fasteners before every ride.
