CannondaleKids Trail (12-26")
kids
01
Origin
Cannondale's Kids Trail line applies the same engineering principles as the adult Trail hardtail to a range of youth wheel sizes from 20" to 26". Each bike is designed with kid-specific components: shorter cranks sized for smaller legs, low-torque twist shifters that require less hand strength, and geometry tuned to the physical proportions of young riders rather than scaled-down adults. The suspension fork smooths trail chatter and builds confidence on first singletrack adventures.
