This Squish 16 Red is a premium kids' hybrid bike made by Dawes, offered as a brand new 2025 ex-showroom display model. It has been fully checked, set up and is ready to ride, with only the possibility of an odd small mark from being on display. Finished in glossy bright red with yellow Squish accents, it is a lightweight, well-specced machine very similar to Isla or Frog bikes.
Lightweight alloy frame and quality components
The frame is built from strong but very light 6061 T-6 triple-butted alloy, with a low-slung 9-inch frame sized for children aged 5 to 7 years. The bike rolls on 16-inch black double-wall alloy wheels with alloy hubs, fitted with 16 x 1.5 Kenda Small Block Trail tyres. Alloy rigid blade forks, a sealed cartridge aheadset, alloy 4-bolt stem and alloy riser handlebars make up the front end. Tektro alloy levers and alloy V-brakes provide stopping power, while soft grips, an alloy QR seat clamp, alloy seatpost, Squish padded saddle, alloy single crankset, sealed bottom bracket and platform pedals complete the build. It is a single-speed bike with no suspension, keeping weight low and maintenance simple.

What to check with ex-display bikes
Ex-display and clearance bikes are end-of-line or showroom models, which is why they are priced below the original list of £329.99. Because they have been handled in a shop environment, always check the frame and components for small marks or signs of handling. The seller states this bike has been fully checked and set up, but when buying any ex-display cycle, it is sensible to inspect the tyres, brake pads and cables, and confirm the quick-release seat clamp and handlebar stem are tightened correctly. With its lightweight alloy build and quality component list, this Squish 16 offers a genuine bargain for a child moving up to their first proper bike.
