Fat 2.4" tyres provide plenty of comfort and grip, 7 speeds with rapid-fire shifters keep things simple and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes take care of the stopping. Approx 9.5kg.
It’s all about lightweight for kids; all our bikes have rigid forks as cheap suspension forks tend to work poorly and weigh a lot. We use 1x drivetrains with rapid-fire shifters to keep shifting simple, further reducing the overall weight. All components are as light and child-focused as possible. The flip-flop stem and spacers allow for growth, extending the life of the bike. Suits heights from approx. 109-129 cm tall.
