Ridley YUNGSTR - Kids' road bike - 2026

Ridley YUNGSTR - The first real racing machine

The YUNGSTR is the first full-fledged road bike, gravel bike, and cyclocross bike designed specifically for young riders aged 8 to 12. With its ultra-light carbon frame, hydraulic disc brakes, and child-friendly, controlled geometry, it's not a toy, but a real sports machine. Thanks to its generous tire clearance, the bicycle can be flexibly adjusted. This allows young riders to adapt their bicycle to any terrain and any challenge, developing a safe, sporty riding style right from the start.

Details Ridley YUNGSTR

Large tire clearance for maximum versatility

Thanks to the generous tire clearance, young riders can easily switch between fast road tires, grippy cross tires, or wider gravel tires. This makes the YUNGSTR not just a first bike, but a real racing machine that covers all disciplines.

Grows with and adapts to

The Ridley YUNGSTR is designed to grow with young riders. Compatible with two wheel sizes, the same frame can be used with both 650B and 700C wheels. This allows the bike to naturally adapt to the kids' growth.

Younger riders benefit from the high level of control and safety offered by 650B wheels, while older or larger riders can easily switch to 700C without needing a new frame. Combined with an easily adjustable stem and child-friendly geometry, this is a long-term solution rather than a short-term purchase.

Lightweight carbon frame

The YUNGSTR is equipped with an ultra-light carbon frame that is designed for racing right from the start. The bike offers young riders exactly the same characteristics that are crucial in professional cycling: minimal weight, high stiffness, reliability, and versatility.
