CUBE Bikes Acid 260

Keen, young riders will benefit from a bike that literally fits their needs.

The new Acid 260 borrows heavily from our adult hardtail range to create a 26-inch-wheeled bike with a low standover for confidence and safety. It uses the same mechanical tube-forming process as our full-size bikes, and, as you'd expect, the 6061 aluminum chassis has passed all our in-house tests to ensure it's strong, durable, and safe in the hands of your youngsters. Internal cable routing reduces clutter and maintenance, and there's an integrated kickstand mount so you can add this handy extra without ruining the bike's clean looks.

The Suntour XCT suspension fork has 80mm of bump-absorbing travel for rough trails, and the 24-speed Shimano gears cover a wide range to put every climb within reach. Light, powerful, and easy-to-adjust linear-pull brakes keep it all in control, and grippy tires help keep the rubber side down. It's every inch a proper mountain bike for your proper little mountain biker.
