• Microshift cassetted gears for perfect precision.

Design:

With the E-450×8 frame we customised each tube to reduce weight and improve handling. Another crucial ingredient to the clever design is the improved control and bump dampening ability of our CRM forks – giving a dramatic advantage in handling and comfort.

Little details such as increased knee to handlebar clearance for growing bodies, a longer wheelbase for stable handling, and adjustable pedal position for growing legs, all make the E-450×8 the best entry-geared bike on the market for kids. Durabilty is also a key factor in the E-450×8 such as the added extra strength in the wheels and the tyres.

Performance:

We know that kids love the idea of gears but they give them a tough time! So we have gone for the top of the range in all departments. Our unique design offers a longer chain length, helping with chain flex.

Then we use the Microshift Rapidfire 8 Speed Trigger Shifter Gears – fantastic because every movement in the lever reflects the same movement in the derailler. Also, by using a cassette hub, we have eliminated cluster wobble and the demons of throwing chains off gears.

Safety:

To make a children’s bike safe, the rider needs to be able to brake efficiently and confidently. The custom-sized V-Brakes we have used are calibrated for age, ability and ergonomic fit. And they are made of non-flexing, strong and light alloy. Our light weight alloy rims ensure pedalling is easier. But more importantly alloy rims are a more efficient braking surface than cheaper, chrome-plated steel rims, and are therefore safer.
