CHILDRENS MOUNTAIN BIKES

It can be a confusing process understanding which size bike will best suit you're child when surrounded with many different options, to help with this we've created a basic sizing guide to help get you started on choosing the perfect size bike for your little shredder! Children's Mountain Bikes are available in 3 main sizes, 20", 24" and 26" and will have suspension forks, gears and either v-brakes or disc brakes.

Sizing is one of, if not the most important choice when it comes to selecting a new bike. Choose a bike that is too small and the rider will feel cramped whilst finding it difficult to pedal and maneuvere. On the flip side, a bike that is too big will be again be uncomfortable for the rider with difficulty reaching the handlebars and/or putting their feet on the ground along with causing issues with handling and maneuverability (all serious safety concerns). On the correct size bike a rider should be able to hop on and off without difficulty, feel comfortable and be easily able to reach the handlebars and put their feet flat on the ground. When it comes time to ride, a correct fitting bike should feel both responsive and maneuverable.

  • 20" Mountain Bikes

    Once they've mastered the basics it's time to move up to the world of gears and front/rear hand brakes with a 20" children's MTB. 20" Mountain Bikes are ideally suited to young riders 6-8 years of age and 115 to 130cm in height.

  • 24" Mountain Bikes

    Once they've outgrown the 20" the next size available in a children's Mountain Bike is the 24". 24" Mountain Bikes are ideal for riders approximately 8-11 years of age and between 125 to 145cm in height.

  • 26" Mountain Bikes

    26" is the final children's size bike available before moving up to adult sizing. A 26" children's MTB is roughly the equivalent in size to an extra extra small in an adults Mountain Bike. Ideally suited to riders 140 to 160cm in height and approximately 10-13 years of age.
