Designed to be the lightest 16\" setup available, it features performance-oriented geometry with lower standover height and a shorter rear end to improve handling and control for younger riders. The matching fork is designed to work with the frame but can also be used to upgrade other 16\" bikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull chromoly construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Frame and fork built entirely from 4130 chromoly steel for superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to hi-tensile steel frames common in kids' bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSA-made welding and manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e – Domestic construction ensures consistent quality control and precise geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVari-wall Thermal-X tubeset\u003c\/strong\u003e – Tubes with varying wall thickness place material where strength is needed and reduce it where it's not, minimizing weight without sacrificing durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated seat clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built-in clamp reduces parts count and potential failure points while keeping weight down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4\" integrated headtube\u003c\/strong\u003e – 45°\/45° angular contact bearings (41.8mm) provide smooth steering with sealed bearing protection from dirt and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-butted tapered fork legs\u003c\/strong\u003e – Legs are thicker at stress points and thinner in the middle;

Works with mid bottom bracket cranks, 25.4mm seat posts, 14mm rear axles, and 3\/8\" front axles. The 41.8mm integrated headset requires compatible bearings. Thread-on brake mounts allow brake installation (mounts sold separately). Lower standover height and optimized geometry suit riders who need better bike control and reduced weight for learning tricks, pumping, and riding varied terrain. The extended fork height and 2.4\" tire clearance accommodate larger tires for improved traction and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FIT Bike Co","offers":[{"title":"Blaze Red","offer_id":45037278298291,"sku":"30-FR-AM-16-BLZRED","price":579.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Groove","offer_id":45037278265523,"sku":"30-FR-AM-16-BLUEGRV","price":579.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"IndiGO","offer_id":45037278232755,"sku":"30-FR-AM-16-VLT","price":579.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Onyx","offer_id":45037278199987,"sku":"30-FR-AM-16-BLCK","price":579.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8737\/2979\/files\/30-FR-AM-16_Blaze-Red-a.jpg?v=1783469529","url":"https:\/\/time2shinebmx.com\/products\/fit-bike-co-am-16-frame-fork-combo","provider":"Time 2 Shine ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
