The ABC's of Opus Kids' Bikes



At Opus, we know that choosing a bicycle for your kids can sometimes be a challenge. That's why we have put together the ABC's of Opus kids' bicycles....hope you find it useful!

A: Aluminium
While most of the other options in the market use steel frames and forks on smaller models, we use aluminium. The reason for this is simple, a lighter bike is easier for a kid to handle it will ride better and it will be quicker to start and stop.

B: Brakes
We all grew up with coaster brakes, but soon learned the benefits of powerful hand brakes--- so why penalize the younger riders by making them wait? We feel the sooner they get used to hand brakes the better. Even our run bikes have them!

C: Control
A lighter bike with more powerful brakes will be easier to control and safer to operate. Our kids bikes also feature a specially designed headset that does not allow the handlebars and fork to spin freely, resulting in greater control and no jack knifing.
