Description

Professional results require professional equipment and we've designed our 2023 Timber 26 to be the perfect transitional bike coming off of a 24" bike.  We constantly see kids coming off 24" bikes making the leap to XS or S sized 27.5 wheels (or even 29ers!) designed for 5' riders and taller.  WAY too big! We designed the 2023 Timber 26 as the perfect "tweener" bike for kids too big for a 24" bike and too small for an adult bike.  Revised geometry with a SUPER low standover height allows kids in the 4'5" range to move up to 26" wheels, and have a bike with an updated head tube angle, seat tube angle, stealth dropper and internal cable routing.

Our Timber 26 gets the Trailcraft Cycles "New School Geometry Treatment" which includes a super short yet stable 419mm chainstay out back. The lower front end and standover height really allows young riders to be able to loft the front wheel over rocks, roots, creek crossings, and other trail obstacles.  It's almost like a mini dirt jumper!  This super sweet bike allows quick line changes, manuals, and wheelies over trail chunder. The result is a super lightweight, fun to ride bike that will take your young riding partner to the next level in their early riding career, all on a bike that is SUPER light with category leading components.

ALL level bike builds get our new lightweight 152mm Trailcraft Cycles aluminum spindle direct mount cranks with a 30 tooth narrow-wide style chainring.

Want to go a bit more custom or full custom on this build?  Contact us!  We are a small family business focused on building the best kids mountain bikes possible.  We truly geek out on this stuff, just see our Instagram page for some of what we are doing as well as our custom builds page.  We bring our frames in from Taiwan (un-assembled/not built) and we build each bike per order in Fort Collins, Colorado with US labor.  Since we don't import "complete bike in box from Asia" like pretty much everyone else does, we maintain a high quality control from installation of headset, bottom bracket, and even putting the derailleur hanger on frames here in the US.  You can be proud to tell your kids they have a unique bike which was truly built to order from the frame up!

The Timber 26 has it all - a high performance "new school" 26-inch frame geometry, super light weight components, and 5 cool color options to choose from. Life is too short to settle on one color when options present themselves now! We invite you to custom build your kids dream 26" bike!
