Sometimes less really is more. The Acid 200 SL takes the same successul formula at the Acid 200, and trims what little fat there already was to result in an even lighter bike that your kids are going to love. There's the same easy-shifting Shimano 7 speed transmission with extra large 36 tooth bailout gear, for those times when tired legs need some extra help. The lightweight aluminium frame and fork saves grammes wherever possible, so it's livelier to ride than its competitors. We chose brake levers that are specially designed to work properly with smaller hands, so your child is always in control of their ride. And the brakes themselves? Simple, light and strong V-Brakes for plenty of stopping power and super-easy maintenance and adjustment. All your child needs, nothing he doesn't.The Acid 200 SL's heat-treated 6061 aluminium frame has the same quality and durability as our full-size mountain bikes. It's also as light as our engineers can reasonably make it, thanks to a curved and formed down tube designed specifically to suit a young rider's weight. Because we know that accidents can happen when they're pushing their limits, we've made the derailleur hanger easily replaceable so that a crash doesn't write off the frame. It's the little touches that make all the difference...
