Talon 20
Updated! A true built-for-kids mountain bike
This is the kind of bike that makes stepping into trail riding feel easy from day one. The Talon isn’t a watered-down adult mountain bike—it’s properly scaled for younger riders, with a lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame and low standover that keeps things stable and confidence-inspiring at slower speeds. Whether it’s neighbourhood loops, gravel paths, or those first proper singletrack missions, this is the platform that helps kids grow into real off-road riding without feeling overwhelmed.
What we like most is how everything is intentionally built around smaller riders. The cockpit, cranks, and brake levers are sized to fit—not adapted—making control feel natural right away. A simple 7-speed drivetrain keeps shifting intuitive while still offering enough range for climbs, and the 30mm suspension fork takes the sting out of rougher surfaces. Add in practical extras like a kickstand and bell, and it’s a bike that’s just as ready for school rides as it is for trail exploration.
