Find Your Cannondale Bike Size
Some models run larger or smaller than others, and ranges overlap at the boundaries. If you're between sizes or unsure, contact us and we'll help dial in your fit.
The Kids Trail Balance is where riding starts. No pedals, no chain, no stabilisers — just a very light alloy frame a toddler can pick up themselves, and two wheels to learn balance on. Children who start here skip the training-wheel stage almost entirely, because they have already worked out the hard part.
Key Features
- Lightweight SmartForm C3 Alloy frame with an easy low step-through
- Cannondale Little Lefty single-sided fork — the same idea as the grown-up Lefty
- Rear hand brake sized for small hands, so braking is learned from day one
- Adjustable seat height that grows with the child
- 12" alloy rims on grippy, smooth-rolling tyres
Rider Fit
Suits riders of 94–107cm (3'1"–3'6"), roughly 2–4 years. Height is the reliable guide — age is only a rough one. Bring them in and we'll check the standover and reach before you buy.
Why You'll Love It
At around 4kg it is light enough for a two-year-old to lift, turn around and get back on without help — which is exactly what keeps them trying. The real hand brake matters too: it means the step up to a pedal bike is one new skill, not three. Fitted and safety-checked in-store at Mackay Cycles.

Full Shipping Policy
1. General Shipping Information
All online orders are processed and shipped from our Mackay store during normal operating hours (8:30am–5:30pm, Tuesday to Friday). Our goal is to dispatch your order within 24 hours of placement, excluding weekends and public holidays.
Parts, Clothing and Accessories are shipped via Australia Post or other parcel courier. Bicycles, Frame-sets and indoor smart-bike trainers are shipped via specialist bike courier services to ensure they arrive in suitable condition.
2. Warehouse-Supplied Items
Some items on our website are supplied directly from brand warehouses interstate. Where this applies, the product page shows a note such as "Available to Order from [Brand] Warehouse — ships to Mackay Cycles, then ready for Click & Collect or local delivery in approx. 5–10 working days depending on brand."
These items route through our Mackay store before dispatch, so we can check, pack and freight them properly. Please allow the stated working days for the item to arrive with us before it's dispatched to you.
A small number of items ship direct from the supplier to your address — where that applies, the product page will say so.
3. East Coast Australia Bike Freight

Freight to Western Australia and the Northern Territory is quoted individually, because cost varies with size, weight and destination.
