2019 Cube Acid 200 Kids Bike - Kiwi/Black/Orange

Children get more adventurous as they get older as part of the natural process of growing up. They may want to venture off-road rather than being restricted to the pavement and that means they'll need a bike that's up to the challenge. The Acid 200 truly is a junior version of its adult counterpart, from the Shimano 7 speed transmission to the front and rear V brakes and new width CUBE tyres. Details like the brake levers were tailored for small hands so your junior rider will be tackling the trail and not equipment that doesn't fit them. There's even a power modulator on the front brake so over-enthusiastic stopping is less likely to result in tears. Also, when the climb starts to get too steep, the large 36 tooth bailout gear will lend a helping hand for tired little legs. Add it all up, and it's the ideal introduction to real off-road fun.

The Acid 200's heat-treated 6061 aluminium frame has the same quality and durability as Cube's full-size mountain bikes. It's also as light as their engineers can reasonably make it, thanks to a curved and formed down tube designed specifically to suit a young rider's weight. As accidents can happen when they're pushing their limits, the derailleur hanger has been made easily replaceable so that a crash doesn't write off the frame. Just like a real mountain bike, there are V brake bosses front and rear. A choice of colours means there's an Acid 200 to suit every junior rider.
