There are a few good 16″ BMX bikes on the market, but the GT Performer 16 is one of the best smaller size BMX bikes available today. GT’s 16-inch version of the Performer comes with the most iconic name in BMX along with a dialed frameset, 3pc Chromoly cranks, 25:9 gearing, 2.3″ tires, with the fit and feel of a proper legit bike.
It’s really light yet built tough, and can take on any session at the skatepark, dirt jump area, or street spot. The new 2021 Performer 16″ bike even comes with custom decals from GT pro rider Albert Mercado’s Boxpalm project on both color-ways, so choose from blue or light orange. Either way, this thing is so dialed.
