Mountain Bikes
Boys bikes types of mountain bikes
Mountain bikes still continue to be the kids favorite bicycle. The designs are constantly changing. Over recent years the disc braking system has been developed. The old rubber pads have gone on boys bikes and replaced by new technology that you would normally only find on cars and motorbikes.
Mountain bikes also have different suspension depending on the model you buy. The two different forms of suspension are :-
Full Suspension |
V's |
Hard tail Suspension |
|---|---|---|
This is front and back suspension used to cushion heavy impacts on rough terrain. Kids love the look of full suspention mountain bikes.
|
This is just suspension on the front of the bike. Hard tail bikes offer comfortable riding and cushion slight bumps in the ground. The suspension on these bikes isn't as visable on the bike as it is on the full suspension bike.

Bike Sizes & Size Guide lines
Select your required boys bike
If the bike is for a child, they generally fall into age categories based on the average size of a child of a specific age. There is no rule that says that you must buy a bike of a particular size for a child of a specific age. It is NOT recommended however that you buy a bike for your child to "grow into". This is not only very dangerous but also by the time they fit the bike they will probably want a new one.

Classed As Adult Bikes |
If your child is aged 11 + then you are onto adult bikes. Adult bikes start to have bigger frames rather than wheels sizes. When this is the case you are best choosing a bike of a certain frame size to match the height of your child rather than the age they are. This gender of the child also determines the correct size. As we only specialize in boys bikes then we will just focus on these sizes. See below for details.
