For children aged 11 to 12, bikes with 24-inch or 26-inch wheels are ideal. These bikes offer the perfect combination of stability, comfort, and performance for older children ready for bigger challenges, from school rides to adventurous outdoor adventures.
The Acid 240 Disc is exactly what kids want. It makes sense, as the lightweight aluminum frame features everything found on an adult mountain bike. The smooth front suspension fork improves control on rough terrain, while the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain comes with a wide 11-34 cassette, allowing even small legs to tackle any climb and descent. Safe: the disc brakes are equipped with special brake levers for children. It's all about the attention to detail. With this bike, nothing stands in the way of exciting off-road adventures.
Despite its small size, the Acid 240 is a true mountain bike. The components are specially tuned for smaller riders, such as the extra-smooth front suspension fork. The V-brakes are operated with slightly smaller brake levers. Naturally, there’s a brake force limiter on the front wheel to prevent an unexpected braking action from resulting in a flip over the handlebars. Also great: the seven smooth Shimano gears, including a light climbing gear, are controlled with an intuitive twist shifter. Hey dad, when are we going again?!
