MICHL275 Road Special

Thanks to the cleverly designed 6061 aluminium tube set with a UDH derailleur hanger, the Michl frame is extremely light, stiff and robust all at once. The modern all-road geometry is sporty yet balanced and specifically tailored to the needs of young cyclists: A short rear triangle makes the bike particularly agile and manoeuvrable. Combined with a shortened top tube and head tube, this noticeably improves the bike’s handling and enhances control and riding safety. A steep seat angle, combined with child-friendly cranks, supports ergonomic and efficient pedalling and helps to conserve valuable energy.

Whether climbing steep hills or racing downhill – with the high-quality Shimano GRX600 11-speed groupset featuring a GRX810 rear derailleur, young road cyclists can change gears precisely, smoothly and reliably. The Road Edition features a finely spaced 11–34 road cassette. Combined with the 30 mm-wide Schwalbe One Performance tyres, this results in a calculated track length of 5.50 m. Tailored for young riders in the U13 category, where a maximum of 5.70 m is permitted.

We have specifically designed the lightweight VPACE SL children’s crankset to suit the anatomy of young riders with narrower hips. 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. And because the crank length also has a major influence on power transfer and efficiency, we tailor it to the specific model size.
