Colony Horizon
Best lightweight starter bike for aspiring young BMX riders
This is the ideal entry point for young riders who need a bike that won't fight them. By swapping heavy steel for a lightweight alloy frame, it makes learning tricks feel less like a workout and more like play, though you do sacrifice the rugged, tank-like feel of heavier, pro-level setups.
