Propain has a heart for the little shredders

The Junior line was actually intended exclusively for the children of the three founders of Propain. But the Frechdax Kids Fully quickly won the hearts of little shredders. Now the kids' bikes are getting an update.

Presented at Eurobike 2013 and originally intended as bikes for the kids of Propain's three founders, the "Frechdax" quickly won the hearts of little shredders as a unique children's bike concept at the time. Since then, a total of three high-end children's and youth bikes have been created, which use the technology of regular mountain bikes and meet the requirements of rookies without compromise. For the 2020 model year, Propain has given the Yuma, Frechdax and Dreckspatz a major overhaul.

By popular request, the colors of the decal kit are now customizable. There are four colors to choose from. Vee Tire Co, the tire partner of the Propain World Cup team, has developed a new mountain bike tire especially for kids' bikes. In addition, the Yuma is now equipped with the new Guide T disc brake from Sram. A wheel size that grows with the child is still part of the Yuma concept. The Yuma can be converted from 24" to 26" wheels after a few years using a so-called "grow-up kit". The Yuma is tailored to the needs of riders from a height of 1.35 m and the associated low body weight.

The new Frechdax is equipped with a special suspension fork from 1st Ride with a carbon-reinforced triple clamp, adapted air chamber and negative spring. The fork is particularly light and ideally matched to the rider's weight for 6-9 year olds. The Rock-Shox rear shock is delivered ex works with the right tuning for low rider weight. The Frechdax also comes with newly developed tires from Vee Tire Co. With 20" wheels, 90 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear and gears and brakes from Sram, the Frechdax offers maximum riding fun for all kids between 1.10 and 1.40e tall and weighing up to 40kg.

In 2017, the "Dreckspatz" hardtail joined the range of high-end children's mountain bikes as a cheaper and lighter alternative to the full-suspension Frechdax. The Dreckspatz is now optionally available with a rigid fork or with the proven 1st Ride carbon children's suspension fork. The new tires from Vee Tire Co and Sram brakes and gears also provide grip.

The colors of the two 20-inch bikes are also new in 2020: The Frechdax and Dreckspatz come in the team color of the World Cup team "Badmint" with various decal options.
