Featherweight bike - easy biking fun

The Austrian company "Federleicht Bike" offers tuning components and children's mountain bikes of the highest quality. Federleicht only uses components that are suitable for a children's bike in terms of weight, quality and ergonomics.

Founded in 2012, "Federleicht Bike" offers tuning components and children's mountain bikes of the highest quality. In addition to the weight-optimized design of the components, the production location is very important to Federleicht Bike. Federleicht products, such as cranks, hubs and carbon saddles, are manufactured in Austria, while components for wheels, as well as titanium and aluminum frames, come from the European Union. The Federleicht Bike product range currently includes children's mountain bikes with 20 to 26-inch wheels. In addition to the high-quality frames, Federleicht Bike has an extensive range of tuning components for 16 to 26-inch bikes.

Low weight - maximum riding fun
Thanks to their child-friendly ergonomics and low weight, Federleicht children's bikes are designed to offer young bikers much more riding fun than conventional products. One example is their titanium bike with 24-inch wheels, which weighs 7.1 kilograms including pedals. Furthermore, the "featherweight bike" enables larger wheels than is usual for the respective age group. The idea is based on the twentyniners. As with these, the aim is to achieve better riding characteristics with compact dimensions and a low bottom bracket, while the larger wheels ensure better rollover behavior.

The company's most interesting add-on part is its in-house crank. In most cases, the crank length is not adapted to the child's stride length, which prevents efficient pedaling. The cranksets from Federleicht are already available for bikes with 16-inch wheels, from 105 millimeters in length. The longest crankset is 150 millimetres long and weighs just 335 grams, including chainrings and bolts. These aluminum cranks are combined with a "Hollowtech II" bottom bracket, which is also not overweight at 84 grams.
