Frog

Frog have three 26″ wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It’s a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn’t really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning – Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more “adult” brand. 

The Frog City 67 is a good bike to consider if your child cycles on roads and cycle paths in a town or city.

A city bike has a more upright riding position, step through frame and accessories such as kickstand, full length mudguards and pannier rack which make daily riding easier than with the hybrid style of most kids bikes.

The rear pannier rack can carry up to 25kg which should be more than enough for school books, sports kit, musical instruments etc.

The bike weighs in at 9.61kg without the accessories and 11.01kg once the mudguards, kickstand and rack are all added.

The Frog City 61 is worth considering if your child rides on roads and cycle paths for commuting or gentle leisure cycling.

The bike has an upright riding position, step through frame and accessories such as kickstand, full length mudguards and pannier rack which make daily riding easier.

The step-through aluminium frame makes mounting and dismounting the bike easier – useful if you’re wearing a skirt or tight trousers.

The rear pannier rack has a maximum load of 25kg which should be more than adequate for school books, musical instruments etc.

The bike weighs in at 9.17kg without the accessories and 10.49kg once the mudguards, kickstand and rack are all added.

The Frog City 53 is a good choice if your child is riding mainly on roads or paved cycle paths for commuting or gentle leisure cycling.

The upright riding position, step through frame and accessories such as kickstand, full length mudguards and pannier rack make travelling by bike easy.

The rear pannier rack can hold up to 25kg to transport bags and equipment when out and about.

The bike weighs in at 8.45kg without the accessories and 9.71kg once the mudguards, kickstand and rack are all added. 

The Frog MBR 69 is the smaller of Frogs two 26″ wheel kids mountain bikes, designed for children with a minimum inside leg measurement of 69cm.

This is a lightweight mountain bike, with a good range of gears and grippy tyres for tackling those challenging off road trails.

Over the years Frog have been constantly tweaking these bikes to improve the ride – improving things like the tyres and the suspension to better serve their young riders.

This is the attention what you get with a brand that does nothing  but design and build kids bikes.

Frog’s experience in building kids bikes shows as they are offering two 26″ wheel mountain bikes, as kids aren’t all the same size!  The Frog MTB 72  is the larger of the two bikes, suited for those older kids who have an inside leg of 72cm.

Frog Bikes have designed a lightweight frame specifically for junior riders, to increase stability whilst improving control, and the frame comes with a 5-year warranty.

The Tektro junior specific hydraulic disc brakes make it easy for smaller hands to brake whilst remaining control of the bike.

All the Frog mountain bikes come with junior specific air suspension forks, complete with lockout and damping control, to enable optimal performance for lower weight riders,  with 100mm of travel on the two 26″ wheel bikes.

Our 10 year old reviewed the Frog 69 MTB over the summer of 2018, so can you find out exactly what we thought of the early iteration of the smaller version of this bike.
