Naloo Mountain Jack 26" 11-Speed
With 140 mm of travel, the 26" Mountain Jack offers a similar amount of travel to an adult's full suspension bike - only tailored to the needs and weight of kids. This is not a shrunken adult bike, but rather the kinematics, the frame and the componentry are all optimised to the requirements and special attributes of younger riders!
Child-specific ergonomics:
- Lightweight
- Kids' specific components and suspension dampening
- Thoughtful geometry including low bottom bracket increases stability
- Low chainstay for less chain slap
- Cranks with an extra narrow, 149mm, Q-factor
- Handlebar with 12° backsweep for ergonomic hand position
- Extra small diameter handlebar for small hands, with twist-proof grips.
HANDLEBAR
Normal handlebars have a backsweep of 8°. The wrist is severely bent and in an unnatural position. NALOO handlebars have a backsweep of 12°. The hand position is ergonomic and natural. The result: relaxed wrists and shoulders.
GRIPS
Normal grips have a diameter of 30 mm or more which children's hands can find hard to grip. NALOO grips have an adapted diameter of 25 to 28 mm. Children can completely wrap their hands around these grips and thus have much better control over the bike and tire less.
Q FACTOR
The pedal spacing (Q-factor) on lower-quality children's bikes is often the same as on adult bikes. This leads to a far too wide leg position which is unergonomic. NALOO bikes have a significantly lower Q-factor and bring the leg position into an ergonomic position that relieves those smaller hips and knees.
For children from approx. 9 years.
