Hoy Pentland
Inspired by the Pentland Hills where Sir Chris Hoy first discovered the freedom of riding off-road, the HOY Pentland range is made for young riders ready to explore beyond the pavement. Designed in Great Britain and developed with Chris’s insight, each Pentland bike balances comfort, performance and confidence, from first trail rides to weekend family adventures.
With lightweight triple-butted aluminium frames, disc brakes for confident stopping and child-specific geometry that fits and feels just right, Pentland bikes are built to handle real riding whether it’s gear changes, climbing hills or discovering new routes. Clean internal cable routing, wide handlebars and quality Shimano gearing round out a range that delivers on control, reliability and fun.

The HOY Pentland 20" is the ideal first geared bike for young cyclists aged 6 to 8 who are ready to take the next step in their riding journey. Lightweight, responsive, and built to boost confidence, it’s designed to handle everything from local paths to weekend trail adventures.
Weighing in at just 8.2kg, the Pentland 20" offers effortless handling that lets young riders explore with control and comfort. Wide handlebars ensure stability, while wide treaded tyres provide grip and confidence across mixed terrain.
