The Squish MTB 26 is Squish's 26" wheeled mountain bike with a 13" frame aimed at kids aged 9+.

The MTB 26 comes with a range of features now common-place on quality children's bikes, such as, a tuneable air suspension fork, disc brakes and a lightweight, aluminium frame.

The disc brakes are of the mechanical variety, which means you get plenty of reliable stopping power, but with minimal maintenance.

At the front end, suspension duties are taken care of by SR Suntour XCR-LO air fork with 100mm of travel, perfect for most XC forays.

The drivetrain is provided by a Shimano 8 speed 11-32T cassette paired with a 32T chainring mounted to a 152mm crank.

The MTB 26 comes in at 12.5kg, which is on the heavier side within the world of lightweight quality children's bikes, but it is still a very respectable weight considering it features a suspension fork.

It's fitted with proper off road tyres and has small brake levers to help make stopping easy, and at just 7kg it's light enough for them to ride and you to lift / carry at the end of the ride.

The YOMO 24 is a good choice if you're looking for a lightweight, well specified 24" wheel bike with decent disc brakes but also one that's a little bit different from what other kids are riding.  The brand only launched in winter 2023, but we've been very impressed with their range.

We've been sent the slightly smaller 20" wheel bike to review and it's clear that YOMO are serious about the quality of their bikes.  Not only that, but our reviewer is loving test riding it!

There's also a range of stylish kids bike helmets available in matt and gloss finish and vegan leather chin strap.

The MX 24 Dirt is equipped with a good quality 7-speed drivetrain, consisting of a single 34 tooth chainring at the front to keep changes to a minimum, and a 14-34 tooth cassette to give a good spread of gears for all types of terrain. It's definitely been designed for having a lot of fun!

The woom 3 Automagic is the smallest kids bike with gears making it an excellent choice if you live in a hilly area.  The "Automagic" in the name is the best bit. The bike automatically shifts between the two gears depending on the speed it's being ridden and the gradient your child is riding up.

This gives the benefits of gears without the hassle of having to operate them - perfect for this age group.

The bike has all the features we love about woom bikes, including colour coded brakes, kickstand and water bottle mounts and very comfortable riding position.

Our reviewer found the bike really helped her with the first couple of pedal rotations to get moving, and then ride up steep Lake District hills more easily.

The Austrian kids bike brand woom is a relative newcomer to the UK, with a range of very lightweight bikes that are proving popular with Cycle Sprog readers.

The woom 4 is their 20" wheel offering, and at 7.7 kg it's one of the lightest geared bikes on the market.

The woom 4 is a good choice for urban cycling, as you can add in an optional extra kickstand for ease of parking up when you've got where you want to go.

You can also fit the woom mudguards (which are available to buy separately) to prevent your child getting too much splashback when they're cycling on raining days.

However, this isn't just a bike for riding on road.  The woom 4 is fitted with Kenda Small block tyres, meaning you can confidently venture onto gravel and grass without any worries.

We've reviewed two single speed, smaller Woom Bikes and were very impressed - they did the daily school run throughout winter and looked as good as new at the end of it. Read our review of the woom 2 and the woom 3 review to find out more.

If you're looking for a quality 20" wheel bike with gears for general use then this bike is certainly worthy of consideration.

Frog had a revamp of their 20" wheel bike range, and the Frog 53 was the brand new model for 2022 that replaced the old Frog 52 and Frog 55.

Instead of having to worry about which size to buy, this new model is designed to start small and has room for growth.

For most children this will be their first time using gears on a bike, and you want it to be as easy as possible.

The Frog 53 has 8 speeds which are accessed using an easy reach thumb shifter.

The range of gears is good enough to get up most hills, and if it does get a bit too steep the bike is lightweight enough to hopefully allow your child to keep on pushing (although we can’t promise this – and if you do end up carrying it you’ll be pleased that it only weighs 8.15kg)

We reviewed one of the very first Frog 20" wheel bikes  to be released years ago, and were very impressed by the comfort of the ride, quality of the bike and it’s longevity.

Since then Frog have continued to improve on the specification,  and we see no reason why the new Frog 53 won't continue in that tradition, making it a great choice 20″ wheel geared bike.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the bike for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

Boardman Bikes have a range of adult bikes built for going on two wheeled adventures called the ADV.  In winter 2022 they decided to add a smaller version - the Boardman JNR ADV 26" - to allow smaller people to come along too.

The Boardman ADV 26" shares much of the same specification as its 700c counterparts.  They claim that a triple-butted aluminium frame and alloy fork provide a stable and confidence-inspiring ride whilst offering maximum versatility with luggage and mudguard mounts. The Vee Speedster multi-surface, mid-tread 1.5" tyres are a fast rolling option for tarmac and light trail use, and can be swapped to something more aggressive, should your adventure demand it.

Ergonomic drop handlebars and cable disk brakes are designed with comfort and control in mind, and with a wide range ratio nine-speed cassette, the ADV 26" is well worth considering for your bike backing and gravel riding adventures.

The YOMO 26 is the largest offering from a brand new kids bike company who want to see more kids riding quality, lightweight bikes.

The YOMO range has been designed by a dad of two who has years of experience working in the industry. He noticed that kids this age really want disc brakes, and so got to work designing the YOMO range.

We've been reviewing a smaller bike in their range and were really impressed with the specification and build quality. Even more importantly our tester has been really enjoying riding the bike.

YOMO also do some stylish junior sized bike helmets in a choice of matt or gloss finish.

Frog have three 26" wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It's a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn't really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning - Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand.

Black Mountain Bikes have a really clever "growing frame" which means that when your child outgrows the original frame size you can adjust the frame and the gearing to make it last much longer.

This means you get at least two bikes for your money and don't have the hassle of having to sort out a new bike. 

The KAPĒL is their 18" wheel offering, but taller children may want to move straight onto the 20" wheel HUTTØ to get maximum usage.

Most 18" wheel bike are single speed, meaning they don't have gears.  The KAPĒL is one of the exceptions, making it ideal for those who regularly ride hills.  Do remember that not all children are ready to start using gears at this age.  

Another clever feature about these bikes is the fact that they can start out in balance bike mode if needed (you do need to buy an additional balance bike convertor kit) so your child can progress from learning to balance through to pedalling all without you needing to buy a new bike.

The Black Mountain HUTTO is a good choice if you want to save money and hassle over time. This is because it's got a very clever "growing" frame that increases in size so it will last a lot longer than a standard bike.

Having a bike that you know is going to last will be such a relief, as you don't have to do all this searching for a bike again for a while!

There are 7 easy to use gears, which are operated by a grip shifter (which your child twists with their right hand), which will make the transition to a "big" bike nice and easy.

Black Mountain Bikes really are targeting the top end of the quality kids bike market, with not only a very well specified bike, but also their attention to detail with their customer service and commitment to the environment (all their packaging is plastic free). We also like the fact that the warranty is transferable - a nice touch not found with other brands.

Upgrades available include mountain bike mode with disc brakes and suspension forks if you're planning to do a lot of off road riding, or a balance bike adaptor kit if your child is not pedalling.

The Frog 73 is a good all round bike which will be happy on most terrains so ideal for children who ride anywhere and aren't specializing in any one particular kind of cycling.

It has an 8 speed Shimano gear system operated by thumb shifters and having an 11-32T cassette, which should be good for all but the steepest hills.

The larger Frog bikes have lost the childish branding of the smaller bikes, so should appeal to an older audience.  However if you have a shorter but older child in their teens don't be surprised if you find some resistance and the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand, as Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand. 

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 73 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is a lightweight alloy framed mountain bike which features hydraulic disc brakes for confident speed control. 

The Specialized Rockhopper is a name that's definitely part of mountain biking history, with the first bike rolling out of the factory way back in 1985.

The tried and tested formula employed by Specialized of creating a good all-rounder at a decent price point still rings true for the Rockhopper Sport.
With an XS and S frame available this is a good entry level mountain bike for a teenager or tall tween who's outgrown the kids bike range.

The Frog 78 is the largest of Frog's three 26" wheel bikes, and is an all round bike suitable for children (or smaller adults!) with a minimum inside leg of 78cm.   

The handlebars can be adjusted within a 54mm range and there's a quick release seat post that makes adjusting the saddle height easy to do. Your kid should hopefully therefore get a decent amount of time on this bike, but some kids do grow very rapidly at this age. 

It's comforting therefore to know the Frog Bikes really hold their value, so if you keep it well maintained you should be able to sell it on to fund the next bike.
