Frog's experience in building kids bikes shows as they are offering two 26" wheel mountain bikes, as kids aren't all the same size! The Frog MTB 72 is the larger of the two bikes, suited for those older kids who have an inside leg of 72cm.
Frog Bikes have designed a lightweight frame specifically for junior riders, to increase stability whilst improving control, and the frame comes with a 5-year warranty.
The Tektro junior specific hydraulic disc brakes make it easy for smaller hands to brake whilst remaining control of the bike.
All the Frog mountain bikes come with junior specific air suspension forks, complete with lockout and damping control, to enable optimal performance for lower weight riders, with 100mm of travel on the two 26″ wheel bikes.
Our 10 year old reviewed the Frog 69 MTB over the summer of 2018, so can you find out exactly what we thought of the early iteration of the smaller version of this bike.

Rockrider (who are an in-house brand of Decathlon) are going through a makeover of their kids bicycle range, with some very good value bikes arriving in stock.
The Rockrider EXPL500 is a 26" wheel kids mountain bike aimed at riders around 9-12 years of age and between 135 and 150cm tall.
Featuring an aluminium frame and suspension fork at the front, the ST500 comes with a single chainring and 7 speed gearing using a thumbshifter to minimise complications (kids mountain bikes at this cheap a price usually have a lot more gears that are confusing to use and harder to maintain).
The bike is equipped with v-brakes and a set of tyres suitable for gentle off roading.
They've got a great video on the Decathlon website showing the types of fun you can have on these bikes.
The Rockrider EXPL500 really does represent value for money and would be a great way to get a child off road and muddy!

The Rockrider Kids’ Mountain Bike 26″ EXPL 900 is designed for children aged around 9 to 12 years (135–150 cm tall) who are ready to take their riding up a notch.
With a lightweight aluminium frame and an 80 mm suspension fork, it’s built to handle proper trails and give young riders the confidence to roll over bumps, roots and rougher ground. The simple 9‑speed gears are easy to use, so kids can focus on enjoying the ride rather than fiddling with tricky gear changes.
One of the real stand‑out features at this price is the hydraulic disc brakes. Many kids’ mountain bikes around this budget come with basic V‑brakes, so having the same smooth, powerful stopping power you’d expect on an adult mountain bike is a big win. Paired with grippy 26″ all‑terrain tyres and strong double‑wall rims, it’s ready for weekend rides on the trails as well as everyday cycling. Everything – from the child‑sized cranks and short stem to the comfy saddle – is designed with young riders in mind.
At around £450, this is one of the best value kids’ mountain bikes out there. You’re getting the kind of quality and components you’d normally expect to pay a lot more for, but without the big‑name branding.
If your child is starting to outgrow basic bikes and you want something trail‑ready that will last, the EXPL 900 is a smart choice that won’t break the bank.

For the old-school mountain biking parents there’s a lot of love and nostalgia for rigid mountain bikes. Without the suspension they’ll be more in tune with the trail, and as a result they can learn some great handling skills to take into their cycling lives, both on-road and off. The Scott Scale 26 compensates for the lack of suspension with plush 2.4” tyres, so the ride will still be very comfortable. It also comes with 16-speed Shimano Tourney gearing and hydraulic disc brakes.
