CUBE ACID – A Multi-Talented Bike for Young Wild Ones
German manufacturer CUBE is known for its wide range of models. The CUBE ACID series also includes a whole range of hardtail mountain bikes – in this case, specifically for children from around 7 yeas up to teenagers around 14 years. The ACID series is basically aimed at young riders who want to gain their first experience off-road. The series consists of four basic models: ACID 160, ACID 200, ACID 240 and ACID 260. Each of these models is optimally tailored to the respective age and height category. For everyday use in road traffic, CUBE also offers most ACID models in all-road versions, which are equipped with additional features such as mudguards, lights and a side stand.
The robust aluminium frame ensures durability and moderate weight, while the geometry – for example, with a top tube that makes it easier to get off – is specially adapted to the needs of young riders. The internal cable routing protects the cables from dirt and also gives the bikes a tidy look. Whether for the way to school, first trail adventures or extended tours in the countryside – the CUBE ACID series offers the right bike for every situation.
