Squish

The Squish 12 Balance bike is a popular choice for parents with 2-3-year-olds wanting a lightweight ride for their child. The lightweight alloy frame means the overall weight is only 3.86kg meaning it is easy to ride and manoeuvre.

The wheels on the Squish balance bike are 12″ and feature alloy rims and hubs.

The bike also features a neat carry handle on the back of the saddle which is a great help if your little cyclist gets tired.

At 3.86kg, it isn’t the lightest balance bike on the market, but it is lighter than most. At this price point, that makes it a solid choice.

A fun “Squish” figure and colourful splodges make the Squish 14 an appealing bike for young children starting on their pedalling adventures.

The bike has features such as shortened crank arms, stubby stem and short reach brake levers that are designed to make it easy to ride.

And at just 5.83kg it’s light enough for you to carry home when your sprog has had enough pedalling for one day.

We’ve not tested this particular bike, but you can check out our review of the Squish 18, which is a bigger single speed bike.

The Squish 26 comes with a 13″ frame for those with a minimum inside leg of 67cm, and a 15″ frame for those slightly taller (with a minimum inside leg of 70cm).  The bikes have been designed to appeal to older kids. 

The range of 8 gears should be sufficient for most lumps and bumps and the tyres will be fine for a variety of terrains, although if you’re thinking of mainly doing mountain biking Squish also do a 26″ wheel MTB.

We haven’t reviewed this particular bike, but we have tested two other Squish bikes and found them to be good quality, lightweight bikes that are great fun to ride. [sc name="bike-club-squish-bikes" bike_name="Squish 26" ][/sc] [sc name="bike-club-26-inch-deal" ][/sc]

The Squish 24 is a good choice for a child who is doing a mix of riding on and off road, and wants a reliable bike they can ride all year around.

It has good quality components, easy to use gears and brakes plus tyres which are suited to all round general riding.

We’ve reviewed two different sized Squish Bikes in their range and our testers found them to be reliable and fun to ride. [sc name="bike-club-squish-bikes" bike_name="Squish 24" ][/sc] [sc name="bike-club-24-inch-deal" ][/sc]
