The result is a frame that's every bit as durable as a full-size mountain bike, but still the right weight for a child - and with the correct disc brake mounts for the hydraulic brakes that we've fitted. Mechanically formed tubes mean that it's bang up to date in terms of technology, too. The geometry is tailored to the needs of young CUBE riders, so it's stable and easily controllable, with a very low top tube to improve confidence and safety. And, because we understand that accidents will happen, we even made the derailleur hanger easily replaceable, so a knock or crash needn't result in an expensive repair.
The Kid 240 Disc is the perfect choice for keen young riders who want to keep up with their friends and parents. We gave it all the features of a full-sized bike because, quite rightly, that's what an aspiring junior mountain biker would expect. So the brakes are powerful and easy to control hydraulic discs with levers especially designed for young hands, offering plenty of power for early trail adventures.
The Suntour suspension fork improves comfort and control on rough surfaces. We fitted a Shimano 3x7 speed gear system - with Revo grip controls to make shifting easy for small hands - to bring every hill, up or down, within reach. And, of course, the heat-treated 6061 aluminium frame is built with the same attention to detail that we lavish on all our bikes. With a bike like this, there's nothing standing in the way of an off-road adventure.
