Overview of components

Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Kids Road – Shimano Claris comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
