          PLAY FILM

          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
          We 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.
