It's right for you if...
Your kid loves to explore, and you want them to have a quality ride for all their road, path or trail adventures. They're ready to upgrade from a singlespeed for a little extra help on hills and longer rides, but they don't need a ton of gears just yet.
The tech you get
A strong, lightweight aluminium frame that will stand up to whatever your youngster dishes out, with simple and reliable Shimano 8-speed shifting that makes it easy to climb hills. Plus, it has a kickstand and a saddle with an integrated handle that can be swapped out for an integrated rear light mount.
The final word
Whether your kids are riding to school, racing around the neighbourhood with friends or tagging along on family rides, Precaliber 24 8-speed features the quality parts they need to ride with confidence and stay in control.
