Trail 1 12in Bike - Kids'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Watching a kid light up on their first bike never gets old—and the Trail 1 makes that moment even better. It’s simple, durable, and built with real bike parts like alloy rims and a legit one-piece crank. The rear coaster brake helps them stay in control while learning, and the low standover keeps them confident."

The Cannondale Trail 1 12in Kid's Bike helps young riders gain confidence and coordination on two wheels. Built for beginners, this bike pairs a lightweight frame and kid-friendly geometry with a smooth-rolling 12-inch wheelset. The low standover design makes getting on and off easy, while its playful feel encourages exploration on driveways, sidewalks, and neighborhood paths.

From the grippy 1.75-inch tires to the single-speed drivetrain and intuitive coaster brake, every component is designed for safety, simplicity, and fun. Alloy wheels and a steel fork keep things durable without being too heavy, and Cannondale’s Kid’s Comfort saddle and grips help ensure every ride feels like a win. Whether it’s their first spin or their first curb hop, the Trail 1 is ready for it.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
