Overview

About this bike

Sometimes less can be more. With our Acid 240 SL we created a kid's bike that's pared down to the essentials to make a light, strong, and capable mountain bike for the junior riders in your family. When our engineers set out to design it, they began with the same heat-treated 6061 aluminum tubes that we use in our adult frames. The result is a frame that's every bit as durable as a full-size mountain bike, but with the right weight and proportions for a child. The rigid alloy fork is lighter than a suspension fork and matches the frame's sleek looks, making a virtue out of simplicity. Geometry is tailored to the needs of young riders, so it's stable and easily controllable with a low top tube to improve confidence and safety, and the replaceable derailleur hanger ensures that a crash or knock needn't result in an expensive repair. Smooth-shifting Shimano 7-speed gears give your youngsters the range they need to keep up with the grown-ups, while powerful linear-pull brakes are equipped with brake levers especially designed for small hands, along with a power modulator at the front to minimize the risk of accidents. Schwalbe tires have the grip needed to tackle any adventure, and, the whole package is assembled with the same fastidious attention to detail that we lavish on all our bikes.
