Academy Grade 5 24-8S Microshift Blue

The Academy Grade 5 24-8S is a lightweight and sophisticated children's bike that is ideal for children aged 7 to 11 years with a body height between 130 and 145 cm. Weighing just 8.2 kg, it is 40% lighter than many other children's bikes. Children have better control and can steer it more easily, which is especially advantageous when going uphill or at a faster pace. The special frame, which was developed in collaboration with sports doctors, ensures optimal geometry for children and promotes a comfortable and safe ride. Short handles are designed to provide a proper and natural leg movement curve that is ideal for children's anatomy and helps prevent overuse. Ergonomic knee adjustment, which has been tested and recommended by orthopaedic experts, ensures correct body positioning and spares the joints, contributing to the long-term comfort and health of the child.

ACADEMY Grade 5 is the bike for everyday adventures

ACADEMY Grade 5 offers quality you can rely on. With an 8-speed Shimano Claris derailleur, the bike is easy to handle and very safe thanks to the robust V-brakes.

Whether it's on the way to school, trips with friends or your next cycling excursion, it's the perfect companion. And the best part is that the timeless design is popular with both girls and boys.
