ACADEMY Grade 4 20" Kids red

Ultralight, with kid-specific ergonomics: ACADEMY Bikes – sit like a glove.
“Engineered by S'COOL”. The developers of ACADEMY Bikes – in collaboration with the German Institute for Orthopaedics, Osteopathy and Sports Medicine (DIOOS), under the direction of Andreas Elsner, M.D. – have succeeded in engineering ultra-light junior bikes that fulfil the most cutting-edge ergonomic standards. All bike models weigh less than 40 % the weight of a normal child, and they feature frames with deep and slim bottom brackets to allow for child-friendly, narrower leg positioning. An upright seat position and short cranks allow the rider's feet to rest on the ground at any time, while still maintaining an ergonomic knee alignment while riding. ACADEMY bikes are uncompromisingly well-designed, with child-friendly components that gear it for daily rides around town, while still sporting a cool, modern design. Starting at 20", all models are equipped with Shimano Claris gears. The durable, low-maintenance, 8-speed drive is an ideal gear shift for kids. The straightforward DUAL CONTROL gear shift lever is comfortable and intuitive to operate. You'll get top-quality rolling properties and perfect grip from the newly developed Rail folding tyre from VEE Tire Co. – complete with a reflective ring for extra safety when riding near street traffic.
