Specialized

The Specialized Riprock 20 is built with young riders in mind, combining high-quality materials and thoughtfully designed components to create a bike that’s both durable and capable. The A1 Premium Butted Alloy frame is lightweight yet robust, featuring internal cable routing for a clean look and added protection and is compatible with a dropper post…

The Rockhopper has been an ever present model for Specialized for good reason. The Rockhopper is a great ride and has been designed to deliver toothy grins by combining value for money with a quality frame and good specification. Whatever your size, their is a suitably sized Rockhopper frame with a fork designed to match…

The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is a lightweight alloy framed mountain bike which features hydraulic disc brakes for confident speed control. 

The Specialized Rockhopper is a name that’s definitely part of mountain biking history, with the first bike rolling out of the factory way back in 1985.

The tried and tested formula employed by Specialized of creating a good all-rounder at a decent price point still rings true for the Rockhopper Sport.
With an XS and S frame available this is a good entry level mountain bike for a teenager or tall tween who’s outgrown the kids bike range.

The Specialised Riprock 12″ is a small pedal bike featuring an aluminium frame and a steel fork so is reasonably lightweight. The tyres are nice and wide to give additional stability for your child.

The bike is aimed at ages 2 – 3 years old and is a good starter bike for a child who is ready to start pedaling and have already gained confidence on their balance bike. The stabilisers are easily removable, and may provide useful for children with additional needs who may not be able to use a balance bike.

The Specialized Riprock features a rear coaster brake, so your child only has to worry about learning to pedal backwards to stop (but will have to learn to use brake levers when moving up to a 14″ wheel bike at some point).

The Specialized Jett 16 is the smallest bike in the Jett range. The bike is designed to be easily configured as your child grows so that they get maximum use out of it, and comes with an online app to key in your child’s measurements.

The app tells you which position to put the saddle, handlebars and pedals for the most comfortable ride and you just recheck it every time your child has a growth spurt.

We’ve reviewed the slightly larger Jett 20 and were very impressed with it’s performance in more urban settings, although it’s able to handle gentle off road riding too.

If money is no object and you like spending it on toys for little people, then the Specialized Hotwalk Carbon balance bike is probably on your radar as one of the world’s most expensive, exclusive and lightweight balance bikes.

Specialized have taken all their experience of making really lightweight world champion winning adult bikes and dialled it all down into a tiny balance bike.

The frame, fork, handlebars and wheels on the Specialized Hotwalk Carbon balance bike are all made from carbon and there’s a handy carry handle for when your little one has had enough of riding it and someone needs to carry it home.
