If you want to really let it rip on a mountain bike and master challenging routes, you need good equipment. This is just as true for adults as it is for children. Due to the low body weight of the tots, a lightweight bike is extremely important - and we know from their parents' bikes that light does not correlate with cheap.

With Rocky Mountain's children's fullies, the product managers have not only paid attention to weight, but also to ensuring that the bikes deliver a decent performance off-road. The Reaper bikes therefore roll onto the trails with an aluminum frame and kinematics that they have inherited from their adult counterparts Altitude and Instinct. Modern geometries are also on board, so the head angles are slack, the seat angles steep and the bottom bracket low.

The wheel size concept for the new Reaper bikes is really interesting. These are available in Switzerland with 24" and 26" wheels. The Reaper 24", which costs 2,399, is designed so that it also works with 26-inch wheels. This means that as soon as the toddler has grown accordingly, the bike can be fitted with new wheels. And so the bike with its 120 millimeters of travel can be used again for the coming season. Although the Reaper 26" (RRP 2,899) does not offer a wheel option, it comes with a high-quality Rock Shox fork with 130 millimetres of travel and cool, durable parts from Race Face and Shimano.
