How to promote young talent

With the Blast series, BMC shows that they have a big heart for the little ones in Grenchen. A 20- and 24-inch hardtail is rolling into the portfolio, which can turn young cyclists into genuine mountain bike up-and-coming riders. The recipe for this: Components that are child-friendly, lightweight yet robust.

If you're a keen mountain biker yourself, you don't want to put your offspring on just any bike. BMC now makes it easy for parents to choose the right bike for their children. The Blast 20 and Blast 24 are based on a lightweight aluminum frame, the 20" version is recommended for children aged 5 to 8 years (or body heights of 110-135 centimeters) and the 24" hardtail for 6 to 11-year-olds (with body heights of around 120-145 centimeters.)

The bikes have good, child-friendly weights of 8.6 kg (20") and 9.6 kg (24") respectively. The weight remains low due to the absence of a suspension fork. Wide, voluminous tires with a width of 2.4 inches ensure that the youngsters can still rock over hill and dale, effectively taking the fear out of most bumps and obstacles.

The disc brakes, which come with child-friendly brake levers, ensure control and safety. A powder coating helps to ensure that the Blast bikes look neat and tidy for a long time, even with wild handling - and there are no tears when the younger sibling has to take over the already somewhat rocked bike.
