Jett 16 Single Speed

Jett 16 Single Speed

Delivery Icon

We deliver! Just say when and how.

Kids move fast, and grow faster. At times, it can seem like there’s a small window for the perfect bike fit. The right bike for a young rider is a delicate balance between too small, too big, and a short-lived just right. If we’re going to inspire the next generation of riders, we need to keep kids comfortably riding longer.

The Jett is designed so that you’ll never fear the growth spurts. We did our homework to understand how kids grow—spoiler alert, kids’ arms and legs grow more rapidly than their torso. We took to the books and designed a bike with child-specific touch points that withstand the development of young riders. The Jett is uniquely adjustable, perfectly proportional, and child-liftable—you’ll always be set to Jett.

The Jett Single Speed features an adjustable handlebar that allows kids to fine tune reach as their arms grow. The narrower saddle and grips were informed by a Retül study on kids to be the appropriately size—with handbrakes on both the 16” and 20”. And what’s more, we designed the frame and reviewed every component to make the Jett one of the lightest bikes on the market. You’re going to have to beg them to get off this bike.

What you expect, but hard for short leg kids

My 3 year old is 40 inches tall with a long torso and shorter legs and can rip around on a Strider, but the Jett is still to tall for him to sit on the seat and touch the ground with his feet even at the lowest position. That makes learning to ride it nearly impossible in our experience. I'm sure it will be better once his legs are taller than 19-20 inches. With only a 16-17in stand over with a diaper in the way we probably need a few weeks to learn to ride or to wait for a leg growth spurt.

Awesome bike

Cool bike. Seems like a good middle ground which has good features, decently light weight and at a good price. I would recommend, but for other bikes in this category the seat height is a bit tall for a new rider which is about 19.75 inches at the lowest. My son was in the recommended range at about 39 inches tall, but would not be able to touch the ground. No body can learn how to bike if they can’t touch the ground. I bought a mini pivotal race seat and post and with that it’s 18 inches off the ground. With being advertised as a beginning bike that will grow with your child, it seems to lack the capability for the earlier riders. Again nice bike as long as you know the most important part of a first real bike is if the seat can go low enough to learn how to bike

Jett 16 inch

Perfect bike for my 4 year old grandson. The quality is top notch and he will get a couple of years on it as he grows, the the little sister will get it and he will move on to the 20 inch Specialized. And did I mention he loves it.

Would Recommend?
Yes!

Nice bike, but don't trust size chart

Great bike, very nicely made. But too big for my 4 year old that is 39". His feet do not touch the ground. Now we have an expensive bike that can not be used.

Kids first “real” bike.

Was a little bit smaller than I anticipated but still a very well built bike. The components and quality are exactly what you would expect from specialized and the price point made it a no brainer. The kid LOVES it as her first bike without training wheels.

Would Recommend?
Yes!

Buy these training wheels

This is a nice little bike but I have been frustrated in finding a pair of training wheels that easily fit. I'm here to save you the headache ... just order the Wald 10252 set.

AWESOME BIKE!

This one here fell from Heaven! BD (((Random Act of Kindness))) My neigbors boyfriend gave me this bike brand new with tools & tags attached! My 6 year old grandaughter learned how to ride on this bike. Had it over s year now with no issues. Peddling is easy & handles great! She's outgrowing it and will be time for the little cousins to learn & share this beauty! I highly recomment this bike.

Great single speed bike

This is a great little bike. Very well built and nice quality. It comes with fast Pathfinder Pro tires, nice seat, KMC EPT chain, extra chainring guard if you won’t want to run the big plastic one. You can retrofit training wheels if your child is not ready for 2 wheels yet. specializeds training wheels do not fit though. The only negative is that the seatpost needs to be cut down to lower the seat all the way if your child is on low end to start riding the bike. The gearing is a little low for riding around the neighborhood, it seems like 8mph is about the max speed for my son with a comfortable cadence

Would Recommend?
Yes!

A real bike! with 16" wheels

By far the best 16" built on the market today. Geometry is spot-on and one of the only ones I could find with handbrakes and a freewheel, that work great. This is a "real" bike for your kid, not a department store trinket.
