The Perfect First Pedal Bike

The Marin Coast Trail 16 is built to help young riders transition confidently into pedaling. Designed specifically for kids, this bike focuses on simplicity, safety and lightweight performance to make learning fun and intuitive.

Whether riding around the neighborhood, cruising on bike paths or exploring local parks, the Coast Trail 16 makes every ride smooth, stable and enjoyable.

Lightweight Aluminum Frame

At the core of the Coast Trail 16 is a Series 1 aluminum frame engineered to be both durable and lightweight. A lighter bike is easier for children to control, steer and start moving from a stop.

The kid-specific geometry also provides a low standover height, making it easier for children to get on and off the bike safely while improving confidence during learning.

Benefits

• Lightweight Series 1 aluminum frame

• Kid-friendly geometry for better control

• Low standover height for easy mounting

• 16 inch wheels ideal for children (41 in-47 in, 4-6 years old)

Designed Specifically for Young Riders

Every component on the Coast Trail 16 is scaled for smaller riders. From the narrower grips to the shorter brake lever reach, the bike is designed to fit children properly and improve comfort and control.

These details help young cyclists build confidence while developing safe riding habits.

Kid-specific features

• Short-reach brake levers for smaller hands

• Narrow diameter grips for improved comfort

• Child-sized saddle for better support

• Appropriately sized pedals for better control

Reliable Braking for Added Safety

The Coast Trail 16 uses alloy linear pull brakes (V-brakes) that provide strong and predictable stopping power. This allows children to safely control their speed while learning essential riding skills.

The freewheel design also lets riders coast naturally without having to constantly pedal, making the learning process smoother and more enjoyable.

Smooth Rolling 16-Inch Wheels

Equipped with Marin x Vee Tire Speedster 16 x 2.0 tires, the Coast Trail 16 rolls smoothly across pavement, bike paths and light gravel.

The versatile tread pattern provides a balance between grip and efficiency, giving young riders a stable and comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Simple and Low Maintenance Drivetrain

The Coast Trail 16 features a single-speed drivetrain that keeps riding simple and intuitive. Without gears to manage, young riders can focus entirely on balance, steering and pedaling.

This setup also reduces maintenance and improves durability for everyday use.
