Scott Scale 26 Rigid
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.
Islabikes Creig 26
The Creig 26 was aimed at ages 9+ and features a 26″ wheel. The specification on the Creig 26 is close to what you would expect on a quality, lightweight hardtail aimed at adults.
Featuring a lightweight aluminium frame and a Rock Shox 30 Gold RL air sprung suspension fork, the Creig 26 is kept light and prepared for a wide-range of off-road riding.
At 11kg the Creig 26 is about as light as it comes.
