For every caring parent, the main thing is the health and proper development of the child - both physical and emotional. Sports activities have always been and remain the guarantee of this. That is why a bicycle is an indispensable attribute for every growing person, which is an opportunity to spend time interestingly and profitably. This article will focus on speed bikes for boys. Let's talk about how to choose the right bike, what to look for, and also about the types of bicycles for growing men.

What is a speed bike?

The design of such a special vehicle is very similar to the design of a simple, well-known bike. But if a regular walking bike can be used for trips around the city or park, then this version was created for off-road and dirt road riding.

Such transport is great for long tourist trips.

A high-speed bike is characterized by the presence of a multi-stage transmission, which is the main advantage of this vehicle. Speaking of its other positive characteristics, the following should be noted:

  • accelerates well and quickly;
  • there is no need to make great efforts when driving;
  • easily climbs uphill;
  • the presence of a powerful braking system;
  • it is possible to customize for specific travel conditions.

    Among the shortcomings, I would like to say about the cost, which is much higher than that of a conventional single-speed model, and maintenance and repair will be quite costly.When buying a high-speed bike for their son, every parent should understand that riding this type of vehicle is quite traumatic. This is due primarily to the fact that the bike can reach high speed. Therefore, a child who gets behind the wheel should at least perfectly ride independently, feel confident on the road and be able to control the situation.

    Based on the foregoing, it is not surprising that experts and manufacturers do not advise children under 6-7 years old to buy high-speed bicycles.

    It's no secret that boys, especially teenagers, love to ride a bike. Let's define how high-speed bikes for them differ from those designed for girls.

    • Colors - models are usually offered in blue, green, black or gray.
    • In most models for girls, you can see an addition such as a basket, which is attached to a fork. In the male version, it is not.

      The rest of the design is almost completely identical.

      Auxiliary table

      With the right selection of a high-speed bike, like a normal bike, you should focus on the growth of the child. To correctly determine the parameters, take a look at the table.

      Child's height, cm

      Age

      Wheel diameter, cm

      115 – 120

      6 - 8 years old

      41

      120 – 125

      8 - 10 years old

      51

      125 – 130

      10 - 12 years old

      61

      Above 130

      Over 12

      66

      Using this data, when you come to the store, you can easily choose and buy the bike that will be comfortable to ride and will not harm your child.

      Popular models

      In the modern market for children's sports goods, there is a wide selection and range of high-speed bicycles. Of course, such a number of manufacturers and models makes the choice even more difficult. But among all brands, we want to highlight and talk about the most popular and high-quality ones that are in demand among the consumer. So, the following are rightfully considered the most advanced manufacturers of children's and teenage high-speed bicycles.

      • Stels. Pilot 260 20 V020 is worth noting among the model range of this manufacturer. This model is perfect for boys aged 8-9 years. The bike is heavy, weighing over 17 kilograms, but it is comfortable and easy to drive. The diameter of the wheels is 20 inches. The Navigator 470 MD 24+ V010 variant is a teenage bike that can be operated by a child between the ages of 8 and 14. The diameter of the wheels is 14 inches.
      • GTX. One of the most popular models of the teenage speed bike for boys from this manufacturer is the Plus 2401. The bike is suitable for cross-country riding. The diameter of the wheels for this model is 15-16 inches.
      • Stinger. One of the brightest and most frequently bought models is the Defender 24 - an inexpensive high-speed bike that can be ridden both in the city and off-road. It features robust construction, heavy weight and 24-inch wheels.
      • Merida... Among all models from this manufacturer, Matts J20 is the most purchased. This is ideal for a child from the age of 11.

      A very reliable and safe bike. Equipped with 20-inch wheels.

      • "Gum". The products of this manufacturer are aimed mainly at adolescent boys over the age of 13 years. I would like to highlight the Meteor 24 model, which thanks to its high-quality construction made of high-strength steel and wheels with a diameter of 24 inches, makes it possible to drive both on a flat road, and on a dirt and mountainous road.

      Criterias of choice

        When choosing a high-speed bike for a boy, you need to consider:

        • design design - the child must like the bike;
        • the age and height of the owner;
        • frame material;
        • wheel diameter;
        • brake system - it can be hand or foot;
        • the ability to use additional attributes;
        • number of speeds;
        • price;
        • manufacturer.

        It is most advisable to buy a vehicle in a specialized store, the sellers of which can describe in detail the advantages and benefits of one or another bicycle, show quality certificates and give a warranty card for service. Make sure the quality of the product and its integrity. Buy the product exclusively from a well-known manufacturer who, during the production process, thought about the safety of the child.
