The Van Rysel Triban 100 26” road bike is designed for children aged 9-12, or 135-150 cm tall.

The aluminium frame and fork is paired with a mixed Shimano and Microshift 7-speed drivetrain, providing a decent enough range of gears for most road cycling, alongside dual Tektro brake levers. This means there are two sets: one on the top of the handlebar, and another integrated into the drop bar levers. This helps riders progress from flat bar riding to drop bar riding with confidence.

The skinny 25mm B’Twin Resist 5 tyres offer efficient rolling and stability, while the bike comes complete with battery-powered lights, a bell and wheel reflectors. It’s also compatible with mudguards, a rear rack and a bottle cage, which you can add separately. A great starter road bike if all they're interested in is riding on tarmac.

One of the key features of the Scott Ransom is its Flip Chip technology, which allows you to swap out the 26” wheels for 24” ones, meaning you’ll get a lot more use out of it as your child grows. It also makes a great option if there’s a younger sibling who’ll benefit from it once the elder one is done with it. It also boasts a Syncros Dropper Post and 2.4” Kenda Hellkat tyres, making this a fantastic premium option for the serious rider.

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.

The YOMO 26 is the largest offering from a brand new kids bike company who want to see more kids riding quality, lightweight bikes.

The YOMO range has been designed by a dad of two who has years of experience working in the industry. He noticed that kids this age really want disc brakes, and so got to work designing the YOMO range.

We've been reviewing a smaller bike in their range and were really impressed with the specification and build quality. Even more importantly our tester has been really enjoying riding the bike.

YOMO also do some stylish junior sized bike helmets in a choice of matt or gloss finish.
