Designed Around Young Riders
The Pentland 26 isn't simply a smaller adult bike. Its geometry, handlebar width and controls have been developed specifically for younger riders, helping provide a comfortable riding position and predictable handling.
Lightweight Aluminium Frame
A lightweight aluminium frame helps make the Pentland 26 easier for younger riders to accelerate, steer and manoeuvre.
The reduced weight also makes the bike easier to handle when starting, stopping or carrying it over obstacles.
Keeping the bike lightweight helps younger riders develop confidence and makes longer family rides more enjoyable.
Shimano 8-Speed Gearing
The Shimano 8-speed drivetrain gives young riders a useful range of gears without making the bike unnecessarily complicated.
A 32-tooth front chainring combined with an 11-32T cassette provides suitable gearing for climbs, flatter roads and faster sections.
Powerful Disc Brakes
Mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors provide dependable braking performance in a wide range of conditions.
The child-friendly brake controls are designed to make it easier for smaller hands to comfortably operate the brakes and control speed.
26-Inch Wheels for Growing Riders
The 26-inch wheel size makes the Pentland a great next step for children who have outgrown smaller 20-inch or 24-inch bikes but aren't yet ready for a full-size adult bike.
Wide treaded tyres provide additional grip and confidence when riding on roads, cycle paths and light trails.
Ready for Everyday Adventures
Whether it's the ride to school, a family cycle at the weekend or exploring local paths and trails, the Hoy Pentland 26 is designed to be versatile, comfortable and easy to ride.
