FRED275 Children’s Downhill Bike

The robust yet lightweight Fred frame, made from 6061 aluminium, has been specially developed for young downhill riders and freeriders: featuring tube dimensions suitable for children, a relatively low weight and an extra-robust construction for uncompromising downhill performance. The modern downhill geometry, featuring a flat 63° head angle and a low bottom bracket, combined with the Horst-Link rear suspension system, ensures responsive handling, optimum traction and a smooth ride over rough terrain. The decoupled braking and suspension movement allows technical trails to be tackled with greater control and efficiency.

The Fox Float X2 Performance Elite shock, featuring 180 mm of travel, is perfectly tuned to the low body weight of young downhill riders – Kids Tuned. It responds with exceptional sensitivity, offering efficient, finely controlled damping and progressive suspension, thereby ensuring outstanding traction, control and comfort on technical terrain as well as during fast descents and big drops. The rebound and compression settings can be individually adjusted to suit the trail and the rider’s personal preferences.

We have specifically tailored the lightweight and robust VPACE SL children’s crankset to the anatomy of young riders. With a Q-factor of 150 mm, it allows for a natural leg position, resulting in greater pedalling efficiency and noticeably better power transfer. Thanks to the 3-hole direct mount, changing the chainring is a matter of seconds. The e*thirteen chain guide with bashguard ensures that the chain stays where it should, even at high speeds, and that no teeth are lost.
