Mountain Bike

Orbea appear to have taken their adult Laufey range and shrunk it so that kids can have a blast on the trails too!

The Orbea Laufey H30 is a lightweight aluminium kids bike featuring 9-speed gears and ever-popular Kenda tyres which are perfect for the trails. 

The bike is available in black & rainbow or a sky blue & red combo. 

Voodoo has developed a reputation for building good quality mountain bikes at a very reasonable price. The Nzumbi is no exception, with a good setup for the cost – it’s carefully designed to excel off-road.

The bike features a 9-speed single chainring setup with Shimano Altus shifters and rear mech and a lightweight aluminium frame, weighing 11.2kg. It is aimed at ages 9 – 12 years old. 

The Cannondale Trail 7 features modern geometry,  a broad spread of gears and hydraulic brakes and a great specification for the price. The bike is available in green or black and is a great bike to tackle mountain terrains. 

The Cannondale trail is aimed at children with a height of 147 – 160cm. 

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 GT Stomper Ace 26 is a great way to get your kids out on the trail. With an 8-speed drivetrain using Shimano’s Altus thumbshifter, a single 30 tooth chainset keeping things simple, and an 11-34 cassette, the GT Stomper Ace is off to a good start.

There’s a set of mechanical disc brakes fitted and it comes with Kenda’s Small Block Eight tyres which are a  good all-rounder.

When the world of adult mountain bikes changed over to 27.5″ wheels, Whyte bikes invested a great deal of time and energy to create high-quality 26″ wheel mountain bikes for junior riders, and to this day they continue to cater for kids and junior bikers.

The Whyte 403 MTB features an aluminium frame and is available in a cement grey and a khaki green colour.
