Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Kids Cross – Claris model has 26″ aluminum wheels. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Ridley Kids Cross – Claris has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Ridley Kids Cross – Claris 2019 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
