Cannondale Kids Trail Plus 20 Bicycle

20" mountain bike for children with disc brakes and Plus-Size tires

The Cannondale Kids Trail Plus 20 is a children's mountain bike designed to accompany little ones in discovering trails in complete safety. Thanks to its large 20x2.6" Plus-Size tires, it offers exceptional grip, greater comfort, and superior control on uneven terrain, helping young riders develop technique and confidence with fewer falls.

Designed for children with a height between 117 and 130 cm (3'10" - 4'3"), this bike combines lightness, reliability, and quality components, becoming the ideal companion for their first off-road adventures.

Lightweight frame for fun learning

The SmartForm C3 aluminum frame is designed to offer the right balance between robustness and lightness. A lighter bike is easier to control, making every ride more enjoyable and less tiring.

The rigid SmartForm C3 aluminum fork, combined with the large Plus-Size tires, naturally absorbs many of the ground vibrations, eliminating the need for a suspension fork and keeping the bike agile and responsive.

Plus-Size tires: more grip and comfort

The 20-inch wheels with Kenda Slant Six 20x2.6" tires ensure a larger contact surface compared to traditional tires.

This means:

• greater grip on dirt;
• better absorption of bumps;
• more stability when cornering;
• greater safety while riding.

An ideal solution to help children get familiar with off-road trails.

Shimano 7-speed drivetrain

The drivetrain is designed to be simple and intuitive.

The Shimano TX 7-speed derailleur, combined with the low-resistance microSHIFT Twist Shift, allows children to change gears easily, even with small hands.

The SunRace 11-34 cassette offers versatile ratios to tackle climbs and mixed terrain with greater ease.

Disc brakes for safe braking

The Tektro mechanical disc brakes guarantee powerful and modulated braking, offering safety and control even on the most demanding terrain.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes

Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same

Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.

Bicycle adjustment margins

Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.
