Kids shred hard — sometimes, harder than their parents – so we set out to build a kids mountain bike that would meet their match. Introducing the all-new Kids’ Mythique, a full suspension mountain bike designed to be just as capable and confidence-inspiring as its adult-sized namesake, the award-winning Mythique.
Rolling on 26-inch wheels and built on a full suspension alloy chassis with a 130mm SR Suntour fork in front and an X-Fusion shock with 120mm of travel in the rear, the Kids’ Mythique is built to perform. We essentially started with the frame of the adult-size Mythique and shrunk it down to be suitable for a smaller human, meaning your budding shredder can expect the same poise, playfulness, and durability that’s made the Mythique one of the most popular bikes in the our lineup.
It's also built using many of the same features — it’s got routing for a dropper post, uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger, has Boost rear hub spacing, and sports proper-sized thru-axles, among other things. Like its adult-sized sibling, we’ve paid close attention to the Kids’ Mythique’s component package and the design of the bike, striking a sweet spot that balances performance, durability, and cost.
The Kids’ Mythique 26 comes stock with a Box Four 8-speed drivetrain, WTB ST i30 wheels, Maxxis Minion DHF tyres front and rear, and Clarks Clout1 hydraulic disk brakes. It’s a durable component package that’ll support your young rider as they progress in skill and speed.
A step up from the average kids’ bike; the Kids’ Mythique is built to blitz trail, push boundaries, and foster progression in the next generation of mountain bikers.
