There’s never been a balance bike like this. Crafted almost entirely from recycled composite materials, the Pre rCarbon has a superlight 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.

Designed to be elegantly simple and durable, the Pre rCarbon features innovative one-piece recycled carbon components including a handlebar/stem unit, combined saddle/seatpost, and carbon wheels. Kid-friendly touch points include soft grips mounted on smaller diameter handlebars, an ergonomic, non-slip saddle and protective padding on the the stem. And the entire bike arrives 90% pre-assembled right out of the box.

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.

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.

The all-new Pre rCarbon balance bike marks a major milestone in Giant’s efforts to produce more eco-friendly bikes, components and gear using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing processes. The frame, fork, wheels, handlebar/stem unit and seatpost are crafted with eco-friendly carbon fiber, making it the world’s first balance bike to use this proprietary technology.

In addition, the tires, grips, saddle and other components use recycled materials such as nylon made from discarded ocean plastics. It all adds up to a significant step forward in Giant’s commitment to lead the bike industry toward more sustainable practices. Beyond the in-house innovations, Giant has partnered with trusted vendors producing recycled materials with proven performance.

The recycled materials used to produce the major components are rigorously analyzed and verified. As a result, in terms of carbon emission, the Pre rCarbon has a 50% lower carbon footprint than the same product made with virgin fibers and materials.
