The 10 best children's bikes 2021

Early Rider Hellion

Children's bikes 2021

Early Rider Hellion

The British brand Early Rider is known for its simple silver, chic children's bikes of all kinds. The Hellion 24 is no exception and only looks like a bike for the little ones at second glance. 2.6 inch tyres, 100 mm spring travel, disc brakes and a 1×11 gearshift offer 8-11 year old kids an ideal overall package to let it rip in the bike park. The high-quality aluminum frame looks timeless.



Price: € 1.599

BMC Blast

BMC Blast

The BMC Blast is clean, modern and stylish. The 24-inch children's mountain bike does not have to hide from full-grown bikes in terms of equipment and appearance. The light aluminum frame and the rigid fork save weight. Large-volume tires and hydraulic disc brakes create safety. Cool: With the supplied sticker set, little mountain bikers can let off steam creatively on the frame.



Price: € 649

Bull's Tokee Ultra Lite

Children's bikes 2021

Bull's Tokee Ultra Lite

Carbon frame, suspension fork, 1x drivetrain and low weight - doesn't sound like a kid's bike, does it? But it is precisely these highlights that Bulls have put into the Tokee Ultra Lite 24! The result is a 24-inch children's MTB that not only stands out visually, but is also refreshingly light at 11,4 kg. Light Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires and a Shimano Deore 10-speed gear system make the hearts of young racers beat faster! On request also in a stylish rainbow look.



Price: 899 – 1.099 euros

Specialized Hotwalk Carbon

Children's bikes 2021 Specialized



Specialized Hotwalk Carbon

The Americans are serious! The Specialized Hotwalk Carbon is equally unreasonable and intriguing. The impeller looks like a design object. Carbon as far as the eye can see: Whether frame, fork, handlebars or rims - here it was big and not messy! Compared to conventional handlebars, the diameter has been reduced by 38% and should therefore offer better grip for small hands. A must for unreasonable and technology-loving parents!

Price: € 999

Cube Stereo 240 Pro



Cube Stereo 240 Pro

With the Stereo 240 Pro, Cube offers a full suspension bike in a small format. Despite the only 24-inch wheels, the little trail pilots have 120 mm of travel and excellent equipment at their disposal. Large-volume Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires and hydraulic disc brakes with 4-pistons at the front are not what you would expect on a children's bike. But it shows: Cube is serious and thinks about the racers of the future!

Price: € 1.949

Eightshot X-Coady 24

Children's bikes 2021



Eightshot X-Coady 24

With the Eightshot X-Coady 24 you have a choice of equipment variants: weight-optimized (10,2 kg) with a rigid fork, or with a suspension fork and even disc brakes. When it comes to geometry and component selection, meticulous attention was paid to perfect ergonomics for the little racers. Narrow and length-optimized cranks should ideally fit children with a height of 128 to 155 cm. There are different color variants to choose from.

Price: 399 – 469 euros

Puky Cyke


Puky Cyke

If you are looking for a children's bike that is suitable for everyday use but still light, you can hardly avoid the Puky Cyke.

Depending on the size, various equipment variants are available, such as coaster brakes or gear shifts. The color options for girls and boys are colorful and diverse.

Price: 239 – 499 euros

Scott Ransom 400

Children's bikes 2021

Scott Ransom 400

The Ransom 400 is not listed in the “Children’s Bike” category on the Scott website, but under the term “Future Pro”. That already shows where the journey is going: The fully with 140 or 130 mm spring travel is aimed at ambitious junior bikers and has a modern geometry, high-quality equipment and even a dropper post. The frame is compatible with 24 and 26 inch wheels and can therefore "grow" to a certain extent.



Price: € 1.699

Giant STP

Children's bikes 2021

Giant STP

Like the big ones! The new STP from Giant looks like a "real" MTB in mini format. With its wide tires, disc brakes and suspension fork, it hardly differs on paper from mum and dad's bikes. So even the little ones can really let it rip on the trail. If you can do without a suspension fork and prefer a light rigid fork, you will also find corresponding models in the portfolio. The STP is available with 20 or 24 inch wheels.



Price: 399 euros – 549 euros

Cannondale Kids Cujo 24+

Children's bikes 2021

Cannondale Kids Cujo 24+

The Cannondale Kids Cujo 24+ promises maximum comfort and driving fun for the little racers. Thanks to the aluminum frame and rigid fork, the weight remains low.

Price: 499 – 829 euros
