Crank up the fun
Trail 26 is built for progressing riders ages 9 to 13 between 142 cm and 153 cm - too big for kids’ bikes, but not quite big enough for adult bikes. Take it to the next level on the bike path or grow new skills on the dirt.
Big wheels, big fun
Full-sized 26-inch wheels eat bumps for breakfast and roll over roots with ease. They are more maneuverable than the larger 27.5-inch wheels found on many adult bikes and keep stand-over height low for stability and plenty of room to grow.
Sized just right
Cannondale crafted the Trail 26 with growing groms in mind, so the sizing and geometry are perfectly tuned for big kids who are ready for the next step towards adult bikes.
Ready to rip
The Trail 26 frame is lightweight for rocketing up hills and durable for tackling the rough stuff, plus it uses powerful disc brakes for quick stopping even on the steepest hills. Built to boost the fun, wherever you ride.
Kid-Correct Weight
Is no more than 30 - 40 percent of a child's weight because a light bike is easier and more fun to ride.
Kid-Correct Standover
Makes it easier for kids to get on and off the bike.
Kid-Correct Reach
Keeps kids in comfortable control of the bike.
Kid-Correct Gearing
Lower gearing and shorter crankarms are right for shorter, less powerful legs, with a narrower Q-Factor (width) for a more natural stance. All this makes it easier for kids to get moving and to stay moving.
Kid-Correct Parts
Sized to fit kids' anatomies, with smaller handlebars and grips, kids-specific seats and pedals sized for kids' feet. Hand brakes are paired with coaster brakes on single speed bikes so kids can build the skills they will need for their next bike.
Kid-Correct Colours
Bright, fresh and eye-catching because for kids, a fun bike is one that looks great.
