NS Bikes RAG JR - 26" Kids Gravel Bike - 2023 - blue

Due to the tight supply situation for individual components, bikes may sometimes be delivered with deviating equipment. However, any alternative components used will be of a corresponding quality to that of the original components.

High-end gravel bike for kids.

The NS Bikes Rag JR was one of the most challenging projects in a while. Scaling down a gravel bike proved harder than we expected, however investing time and energy into the development was worthwhile. Some of the features worth mentioning include an ergonomically designed cockpit, handlebars with the optimum drop and reach, correctly positioned hoods for small hands, scaled down 35mm gravel tires with a fast-rolling tread and short cranks with a narrow Q-Factor. The geometry of the lightweight frame and fork took time to dial in, and finally we arrived at numbers that will comfortably fit kids from 135cm to 150cm tall (the lower end of the range will require fitting a shorter stem).  

Although getting used to a drop bar bike can take time, the effort required to master the skills is worth it. This is especially true if you spend most of your time riding fast, open dirt roads in relatively flat terrain. The range of a child on a mini-gravel bike is significantly larger than on any mountain bike. Also, full length fenders open up options for comfortable riding in the wet. The Rag JR may also appeal to kids wanting to try cyclocross, allowing them to become comfortable with the riding position.
