Wild

The Wild 24 is certainly a lot of bike for the price, with the all-important Tektro short-reach brake levers sized for children’s hands.

The gears on the Wild 24 are 8-speed (11-32T) with a single 32T chainset, which means they avoid the complications of lots of gears and a left-hand shifter you often get with cheaper kids bikes. The Wild 24 uses a thumb shifter to change through the 8-gears. It is available in 2 two-toned colours. 

This bike will be a significantly better riding experience than the hunks of steel that are sold in some of the cheaper stores.

The Wild 18 has an upright riding position for a low centre of gravity, and narrower cranks which bring their legs closer together in line with their smaller hips, which combined with the low weight of the bike gives an enjoyable and easy riding experience.

The bike comes in a funky two-toned orange/yellow colour and is aimed at 5-year-olds. 

The Wild 16 is worth considering if you’re looking for a lightweight 16″ wheel bike at a decent price, and aren’t bothered about the kudos of a bigger name.

Whilst we haven’t reviewed this bike range, we’ve seen them in use and have had positive comments from a few Cycle Sprog readers.

Wild Bikes are a good choice if you’re looking for a lightweight, modern looking kids bike but don’t have the budget for one of the really established names.

The Wild 14 features an upright riding position and a supportive saddle for your child to ensure they are comfortable whilst riding.

Wild Bikes have been popular with Cycle Sprog readers over the past few years as you’re getting a decently specified bike for a very good price.

The warranty is only for 12 months whereas some of the other bikes on this page come with 5 years, but these other bikes are also significantly more expensive, so you should take that into consideration.
