Orbea

The Orbea Kimu 20 H20 is a good value, lightweight 20 inch bike for children aged 5 to 8 who are ready to ride further and start using gears.

Its alloy frame and fork keep the weight down, making it easier for kids to steer, climb hills and keep their momentum.

There are 8 gears with a single chainring at the front, so children only have one easy to use gear shifter to think about.

Hydraulic disc brakes with levers designed for small hands give reliable stopping power with little effort.

Wide 2.2 inch tyres and wheels that are proportionally larger for this age group add stability on roads, paths and gentle off road trails.

A height adjustable stem helps the bike grow with your child, while stickers and a name plate let them make it their own.

The Orbea Kimu 24 H10 TR is a premium mountain bike for 7 to 10 year olds ready to tackle proper off road trails.

A dropper seat post lowers at the push of a handlebar button, helping kids stay balanced on steep descents.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give powerful stopping with little effort, while 9 gears on a single chainring keep gear changes simple.
