Pre rCarbon

Crafted almost entirely from recycled composite materials, this one-of-a-kind balance bike has a superlight frame weight of just 2.5kg that makes it fast, fun and easy to push. The carbon chassis is paired with 12-inch carbon wheels that have a 3-spoke design and low-resistance hubs, along with 1.75-inch tires to help it glide smoothly along variable surfaces. A forward-leaning rider position allows for efficient push motion, and the steering geometry is slightly steeper for more agile handling.

Key Performance Factors

Effortless Integration

The integrated design features a superlight, strong and durable frame crafted from recycled carbon material. The frame is paired with innovative one-piece components including the 12-inch, 3-spoke carbon wheels, stem/handlebar unit, and combined seatpost/saddle. By eliminating the need for most small parts, including spokes and screws, it comes 90% assembled. The user-friendly setup also includes an auto-aligned handlebar and fork along with built-in protective padding on the stem and handlebar ends.

Smooth, Stable and Fast

Designed with a superlight and incredibly strong carbon frameset, a low center of gravity, and geometry that puts riders in a forward-leaning posture for a natural, efficient push position, the Pre rCarbon combines confident stability with playful handling and speed. Its unique 12-inch carbon wheels use low-resistance hubs, and the 1.75-inch tires help it glide over bumpy roads and paths for a fast, fun experience that every kid loves.

Kid-Friendly Design

All the angles, geometry and touch points are designed specifically for smaller bodies and the unique dynamics of a balance bike. The head tube and fork are adjusted to a slightly steeper angle to improve cornering, agility and quickness. The carbon handlebars have a smaller diameter and soft grips for a secure, comfortable hold. And the kid-sized saddle is ergonomically designed with a soft, non-slip material to ensure comfort during long riding sessions.

Highlights

Combining lightweight agility, balanced geometry and efficient pushing speed, the Pre rCarbon introduces a host of new technologies that make it a one-of-a-kind push bike. Using recycled materials in the frame, fork, wheels and other components, it all adds up to an innovative step toward more sustainable performance.
