Corratec Bow: Light and stylish children's bikes from Upper Bavaria

5 April 2023 by Michael Faiss

Product news / children's bikes: The current Corratec Bow children's bikes impress with their flashy design, child-friendly weight and a suitably selected component package.

It wasn't long ago that children's bikes were anything but child-friendly: they were usually far too heavy and had components that were completely unsuitable for children. Luckily, those times are over now - the Corratec Bow children's bikes show that. From 12-inch children's bikes to youth bikes with 24-inch wheels, all models are equipped with light aluminum frames, and unnecessarily heavy components such as suspension forks are not used. This keeps the weight of all bikes in a range that the kids can easily handle themselves.

Corratec Bow 12″

Age: 2 - 3,5 Jahre
Size: 85 - 110 cm

Weight: 3,6 kg
Price: € 199

Wheels like the Corratec Bow 12″ are perfect for introducing the little ones to having fun on two wheels. Balance is learned in a playful way and without the risk of major falls. After that, switching to a real bike is all the easier. On the Corratec Bow 12″, a steering limiter integrated into the frame offers additional safety; This prevents dangerous over-turning of the handlebars, even during hectic movements. The child-friendly brake on the rear wheel is not necessary, but the little ones can try walking (or braking) before things get serious on the first real bike.

Corratec Bow 16″

Age: 3 - 6 Jahre
Size: 100 - 120 cm

Weight: 5,3 kg
Price: € 359

From the balance bike to the bicycle - the first real attempts at riding are all the more enjoyable if the wheels fit - as is likely to be the case with the Corratec Bow 16″. With a weight of only approx. 5 kg, even the kids can easily handle the bike - the days of much too heavy children's bikes are finally over. Corratec wisely does without a gear shift on the Bow 16″ – instead, two separate brakes are used here for the front and rear. Both have brake handles that are easy for children to grip, and the front wheel is bright red.

Corratec Bow 20″

Age: 5 - 8 Jahre
Size: 100 - 130 cm

Weight: 7,4 kg
Price: € 439

At the latest with the Corratec Bow 20 we have arrived at the real bike: With 8-speed derailleur gears and a powerful brake system. Thanks to the slightly profiled tires, you can also dare the first cautious off-road excursions - thanks to the low step-through, safe dismounting is no problem here either. With less than 7,5 kg, you don't have to make any painful compromises when it comes to weight either.

 

Corratec Bow 24″

Age: 7 - 10 Jahre
Size: 120 - 145 cm

Weight: 8,2 kg
Price: € 479

The Corratec Bow 24″ takes all the advantages of the smaller sister model and combines them with a larger 24 inch frame. This not only stands out because of its bright blue, but also offers a lot of safety with its very low step-through if the pilot has to leave the saddle unplanned. The model series also remains true to the weight of the largest bike: it only weighs a little over eight kilograms.
