The tech you get

A strong, lightweight aluminium frame, a simple Shimano 8-speed drivetrain that's easy for kids to handle and a front suspension fork with 45 mm of travel to absorb bumps. Plus, a kickstand, rear rack mounts and a saddle with an integrated handle that can be swapped out for an integrated rear light mount. Everything on this bike is built to last, so it'll still feel like new when handed down to younger siblings.

The final word

This rugged, high-quality bike encourages fun and skill-building. It's perfect for kids who want increased comfort and gear range with a bump-smoothing front suspension fork and an 8-speed drivetrain.
