Norco Storm Size Guide:

  • Norco Storm 16": Generally suitable for children aged 4 to 6 years old, or those with a height of around 3'5" to 3'10" (approximately 104 - 117 cm). These come as single-speed bikes to keep things simple for younger riders.

  • Norco Storm 20": Typically fits children aged 6 to 9 years old, or those with a height of around 4'2" to 4'8" (approximately 127 - 142 cm). This model comes with a simple 6-speed gear system to introduce them to shifting.

  • Norco Storm 24": Usually best for children aged 10-14 years and older, or those with a height of around 4'2" to 4'8" (approximately 127 - 142 cm). If too tall, a small sized adult bike will work great!

DISCLAIMER: These age ranges are just guidelines. The most crucial factor is the child's height and inseam to ensure a comfortable and safe fit on the bike. It's always recommended to have a child try out the bike with us in person at Cycle Whistler to confirm it's the right size for them.

Wear a Helmet at All Times

Ensure every young rider wears a properly fitted helmet to protect against falls and bumps.

Bring Water and Snacks

Short breaks with hydration and snacks keep energy high and little riders happy on the trails.

Check Bike Fit Before Riding

Adjust the seat and handlebars so the bike fits comfortably for your child’s height and reach.
