Raleigh bikes are the perfect bike for all children. Here we have the full range of all boys raleigh bikes and also the men's raleigh bikes section. Raleigh bikes are always made of good quality at an affordable price. Through all the years every one seems to of had a raleigh bike at some stage of their lives. First it was the raleigh chopper that was the iconic bike of the 1970's and 1980's, then came the Raleigh bmx bikes that children used for stunts with their single speed gear and small thick wheels, these bikes were robust and could withstand alot of pressure boys put on their bikes crashing up curb edges and down steps. The raleigh bmx bikes were also great for wheelie's and other stunts. Pegs were added to the front forks as a standing ledge for these stunts to be more elaborate.
Next boys bikes that came along was the Raleigh racer. The racer was the ultimate road bike with its thin wheels it gripped the road and with its 5 gears you were able to increase speed much more greater than the bmx bike. The racer was a bit one dimensional. It was only really suitable for road use buy children being children they wanted the best of both worlds. a bike that was able to go quite fast and also on different terrain. Along came the mountain bike. The raleigh mountain bike has been at the front of kids bikes for the last 20 years or more. The look of the mountain bikes and the amount of gears that was starting to become available was a bit plus point of the raleigh mountain bike. Kids wanted extra gears really to at the top of the peking order with their mates because the more gears you have doesn't really mean you can go lots faster than anybody else, it just helps the ease of cycling at a steady speed.
Because raleigh mountain bikes have been so popular the makers have stuck with them for the last 20 years. They haven't sat still though, they have been constantly improving the design of the raleigh bikes such as adding new braking systems like the front and rear braking system found on lots of bikes today. They also added front suspension to the mountain bikes to relive the cyclist of the heavy impacts when going over rough terrain. The front suspension smooth's out the ride and is perfect for cyclist that use all types of terrain now and again. The Raleigh front suspension bikes are also known as raleigh hard tail bikes.
The next improvement of the raleigh bike was the next stage of the suspension. How to get suspension to protect your back side for a better word. Many people would agree that its this area that starts to hurt first if your an average bicycle user or haven't been on a bike for a while. Mountain bikes designs changed to add a rear suspension to the bike. This new design of mountain bike is call the full suspension mountain bike. Having both front and rear suspension these raleigh bikes were for main use on rough terrain. Lots of boys like the look of these bikes because of all the springs and hydraulic attachments on them, that they buy them because of the looks instead. There is no problem with this either, raleigh full suspension bikes can be very cheap to buy even brand new full suspension bikes can be well under £100 for boys bikes.
