Details matter when you’re designing a bike for young riders. The Acid 240 Hybrid Rookie SLX’s Magura MT Thirty hydraulic disc brakes, for example, aren’t just powerful.
They also feature excellent lever adjustment, so they can be set up perfectly for small hands. Combined with the 19mm-diameter handlebar and the easily adjustable air suspension fork, it’s the kind of thing that can make all the difference.
A remote dropper post will help give their confidence a boost, and big volume 2.35in Schwalbe Hans Dampf tyres have the grip they’ll need to build their riding skills. And, with pedal assistance up to 20km/h from Bosch’s lightweight SX drive and 400Wh battery – delivered via Shimano’s smooth 1×11 Cues gears – there’s plenty of extra shove on tap for fun family rides.
