MAXC26 Carbon Kids Mountain Bike
Our new development for the upcoming XC World Cup overall winners! The sportiest and lightest children's mountain bike on the 29er principle from VPACE, for kids from approx. 1.30 m (possibly 2-3 cm below this height).
The Carbon racing machine
MAXC is the super-fit brother of MAX and with its carbon frame the new hero on the starting line. If full throttle is all you know and your goal is to win the World Cup overall in 2040, MAXC is your new best friend. The specially developed carbon frame is super-light and converts every ounce of energy into propulsion. The large 29er wheels give the bike stability on downhills and lots of grip on the steepest uphills. As with the original MAX, the geometry is modern and sporty, but the equipment is even lighter and optimised for racers. MAXC is the ultimate race bike for kids.
What MAXC can do
What we wanted to do better with MAX compared to other frames on the market:
- A shorter rear triangle makes the frame very agile and weight transfer to the rear wheel becomes child's play.
- The steeper seat angle in combination with the right crank length makes ergonomic pedaling possible.
- The shortened top tube and head tube enable make for a fun-handling bike - just as it should be for children.
- Elegant and well-dimensioned tubing reduces weight - a good basis for a lightweight kids’ bike.
From the outset, the frame is designed with child-friendly components in mind so as to form a sensible unit between both:
- Front derailleurs are superfluous and complicate the shifting process. Therefore, single drive with the widest possible range is what we went for
- The frame was developed for disc brakes - disc only
The 29er principle
Kids who are put on 20 inch bikes by other manufacturers start out on 24 inch bikes with us and benefit especially from the smoothness and riding stability. Our bikes are more or less a 29er based on 20 - 29 inch wheels. Thanks to the larger wheels, obstacles are better negotiated and the young athlete gains from more riding confidence and also an increase in speed. What's more, it simply looks damn good - just like the big ones!
Range of use
The MAXC children's mountain bike corresponds to a category 3 mountain bike. Bikes in this category can also be used on rough trails, in rough terrain and on difficult routes that require good riding technique. Jumps and drops can occur here up to a maximum height of 61cm. The MAXC 26 children's bike is designed for a rider weight of max. 50kg.
UD-Carbon Finish on MAXC carbon frames
The MAXC carbon frames are produced with UD carbon fibres (unidirectional), which has no visible carbon structure like 3K carbon (honeycomb structure). To give a more technical look to the frame and also to save some weight again, we decided against a black colour top coat - because we love it! As each frame is laminated by hand and is unique, there may be small irregularities in the surface under the clear lacquer. This is definitely not a production defect or a weakening of the material.
MAXC26 Carbon Kids Mountain Bike Geometry
Die MAX-Kinderbikes können ab Beginn der Größenempfehlung idR zwei bis drei Jahre gefahren werden und decken ein Größenwachstum von maximal 20 cm ab – nach Anpassung von Sattelstütze und Vorbau.
