The FRED275 kids downhill bike fits riders taller than approx. 1.55 m, offers 180 mm travel and rides on 27.5" wheels front and rear.

FRED is a bike for kids designed from the ground up for downhill use. The geometry with the 63er steering angle, low bottom bracket and the plushe but still jumpfreudige rear end with kinematics specially developed for low body weights appeals to young racers in the Junior DH series such as the IXS Rookies Cup and Bikepark Shredder.

As usual with VPACE, attention was also paid to the weight. The FRED275 weighs approx. 14 kg - and that with Bomb Proof full equipment. The progressive geometry, the well thought-out equipment and the special kinematics make the FRED definitely unique.

FRED – made for SHRED!

A True Downhill Cockpit

The cockpit with Reverse handlebar and stem offers maximum control. Magura MT5 brakes with 180mm rotors and 4-piston calipers deliver powerful, easy-to-modulate stopping power on any terrain. Ideal for fast descents and technical trails.

Shock for Lighter Riders

The Fox Float X Performance Elite shock offers outstanding performance and fine-tuning for demanding trails. With superior damping technology and adjustability, it provides optimal control, stability, and comfort for every ride, especially on rough terrain.

Stylish saddle from Reverse

The Reverse Nico Vink Signature saddle combines comfort, durability and stylish design. Designed with and for freeride legend Nico Vink, it offers plenty of freedom of movement - perfect for hard landings, long days on the bike and challenging trails.

Robust and responsive rear suspension

The rear suspension with Horst link system offers optimum performance, improving traction and responsiveness. The decoupled braking and suspension movement gives better control and efficiency on technical trails.

Narrow Crank for Narrow Hips

The lightweight VPACE SL kids’ crank with 150mm Q-factor is specially designed for young riders. It ensures optimal ergonomics and efficient power transmission - perfect for kids. The 3-hole direct mount standard makes changing chainrings a breeze.

The Ethirteen chain guide with bashguard keeps the chain where it belongs and prevents teeth from being lost.

What FRED can do

FRED is probably the most consistent gravity bike currently available for kids. With its full-throttle geometry, top equipment and relatively low weight, FRED is the ideal bike for young shredders.

FRED275 fits riders taller than approx. 1.55 m, offers 180 mm travel and rides on 27.5" wheels front and rear.

Range of use

The FRED275 Kids Downhill Bike corresponds to a mountain bike of category 5. Bikes of this category can be used on very rough and partly blocky terrain, on difficult tracks that require a good riding technique, as well as designated sports and bike parks (occasionally). Jumps and drops can occur here up to a maximum height of 122 cm. The FRED265 children's bike is designed for a rider weight of max. 60 kg.

Bikes in this category should be checked intensively for possible damage after every ride due to the higher loads.
