Description
The Ace is a “real-deal” mountain bike for kids from about 8 to 11. It uses a time-tested frame, burly enough for singletrack riding and for taking wee hits and drops. The hydraulic brakes offer control, so kids can learn to confidently feather the brakes as needed, and the brakes can be adjusted so they’re right for your kid’s reach and hand size. Wide bars, knobby tires, tuneable suspension and a 1×8 drivetrain make it a fully capable bike that’s up for north-shore-style trails and full-on downhill ripping.Lightweight aluminum frame is durable and ready to hit the trailsAggressive 24 x 2.0in. tires ready for hardpack, soft surfaces and muddy trailsTektro Jr. hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable reach to match your child’s handsRST Capa T24 suspension fork has 50mm of travel and can be locked-out for ease of climbing1x8 speed drivetrain features Shimano trigger shifters and 12-32T cassette32T narrow-wide chainring makes dropping your chain a thing of the past620mm wide bars for control on bumpy trailsPreload feature on the fork adjusts for different rider weightsLock-on grips prevents unwanted grip twisting and helps with controlFlat pedals provide good gripBuilt with ShimanoA(R) componentsSized for kids from 8 to 11 years, or about 135 to 150cm (4ft. 5in. to 4ft. 11in.)Bikes are covered by MEC’s Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement.
