With a 7-speed transmission and powerful, easy-to-control V-brakes, we've given young riders everything they need to build confidence and develop their skills, while keeping them entertained in the process. The brake levers have been specially designed for small hands, while the front brake power modulator helps avoid accidents due to excessive braking. The Acid 200's heat-treated 6061 aluminum frame features the same quality and durability as our adult mountain bikes. It's light and strong thanks to a curved and shaped downtube designed specifically for the weight of a child. The V-brake mounts, front and rear, are the same ones found on mom or dad's bike. And because we know that accidents can happen, we've fitted a replaceable derailleur hanger so that unexpected falls don't compromise the frame.
