The Acid 240 Hybrid Rookie Pro is a real mountain bike, scaled down for smaller riders. From its perfectly proportioned frame to the 19mm-diameter handlebars and shorter cranks, we built it to fit properly. And the attention to detail extends further, with a Suntour suspension fork offering 80mm of travel, easy-shifting Shimano Cues 1x9 gears, grippy Schwalbe 2.1in tyres, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and even a flat mount kickstand. But the ace up this little bike's sleeve is its lightweight Bosch SX motor and 400Wh battery. Together they provide up to 55Nm of pedalling assistance up to a maximum of 20km/h, which is more than enough to give your youngster the boost they need to keep up with the grown-ups. And that's sure to put a big smile on their face...Frame descriptionFrom its Advanced Internal Cable Routing to its Boost rear axle and UDH gear hanger, the Acid 240 Hybrid Rookie's frame is bursting with exactly the same kind of attention to detail as our adult mountain bikes. The lightweight Bosch SX drive and fixed 400Wh battery sit snugly in the frame, providing up to 55Nm of pedal assistance to a maximum speed of 20km/h, plus full compatibility with the optional 250Wh PowerMore range extender. It's even dropper seatpost ready and SIC 2.0 compatible, for easy fitting of a luggage carrier. And, with the included kickstand, your youngster will never struggle for somewhere to park it.
There are various ways to eke more speed out of a race bike, but for the Nuroad C:62 SLX, we opted to fit a pair of Zipp's 303 XPLR wheels. Shod with Schwalbe's fast-rolling 45mm G-One RX Pro tyres, their deep rim is designed to provide a measurable aero advantage at typical gravel race speeds. Not content with that, we added an IC Race Cockpit and Sram Force XPLR cranks with a power meter – to ensure you're always in full control. Sram's GX Eagle 1x12 Transmission gets your power to the ground and puts the perfect ratio at your fingertips, and matching Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes help you keep your speed in check. It's the complete race package.Frame descriptionThe Nuroad C:62 frame takes everything we know about building light, responsive carbon frames and repackages it in a format that's perfect for fast gravel riding. An integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the frame's almost organic appearance, and we added our IC Race One-Piece Carbon Cockpit to ensure you're always in control. The full carbon fork has two carrier mounting positions, while the frame itself is ready to accept mudguards and a rear carrier and has clearance for 50mm tyres (45mm with mudguards). And the overall weight for all this? Just 1,150g for a mid-sized frame. So it's tough, but also extremely light. You can think of it as a gravel express...
Getting your children from A to B just got simpler – and more fun for the whole family! The Longtail Hybrid Deluxe Family is built around our sturdy longtail frame, complete with a rigid alloy fork and comfortable 2.6in Schwalbe tyres. The bench seat with step boards and safety guard is just what you need for family transport. Mums and dads can both ride it easily, thanks to an adjustable Speedlifter stem and a dropper seatpost, so it's easy to put your feet down at junctions and traffic lights. The powerful Bosch Cargo Line motor, 800Wh battery and Kiox 500 display work with the Enviolo Utility stepless hub gear system to make light work of any journey, even with a load of up to 200kg. There's a set of strong Magura Gustav Pro hydraulic disc brakes, to help keep you and your precious cargo safe in all weathers. And the front and rear lights, full-length mudguards and a sturdy twin-leg kickstand – with handlebar-mounted lockout for extra security – are the kind of practical touches that can make all the difference.Frame descriptionThe secret to our Longtail's carrying capacity is the sturdy, adaptable rear carrier system. With the Longtail Hybrid Family, it comes ready equipped with a comfortable bench seat, side protection and step board – so your children have a comfortable and safe place to sit. And, with a carrying capacity of up to 200kg, you can be sure that it's up to the job. With the 800Wh battery and Bosch Cargo Line drive system, it combines ample range with dependable pedal assistance, even when fully loaded. And, with various optional cargo-carrying accessories easily swappable with the seat set-up, it can serve double duty as a load hauler. One bike, many reasons.
