Momentum Mag Reviews the Opus Nix for Kids

2011-07-28T09:00:00.000-07:00

Kathleen Wilker from Momentum Magazine has been spending some time with the Opus Nix bike with her kids! Take a look at this great review about one of our favourite kids' bikes.

First Prize Goes to...The Girl on the Opus Nix

2011-06-21T08:50:00.000-07:00

from Momemtun magazine

" After a briefing from their coach, the bigger kids took off. I meant to take pictures of her glorious moment, but I got so excited when I saw Anna Sierra riding that I just cheered. She's a fantastic little rider and gives it her all, but I think her super light Opus Nix, with its quick, easy and smooth shifting, helped too.
Pulling ahead of the kids beside her, Anna Sierra was first across the finish. We all ran out to hug her and just kept on grinning while she accepted her trophy."

Here's another great blog post by Momentum about our Opus Bikes.
Anna Sierra is having a party on the Opus Nix! There's a picture of her single-handedly lifting it over a log on a recent family mountain biking ride. That's how light and fun it is:

"Anna Sierra rode an Opus Nix that is lightweight and responsive, and Jasper hopped on a trail-a-bike behind Derek who generously rode his old mountain bike. "

And the headsets are built to prevent handlebars and forks from spinning freely, resulting in even greater control and no jack knifing. See the whole line at www.opusbikes.com. WIN!

The ABC's of Opus Kids' Bikes

2011-02-18T14:33:00.000-08:00

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.

The ABC’s of Opus Kids—making better bikes for better memories.

Obsession: Kids' Bike Challenge

People at North Shore Mountain Biking are absolute Obsessed Bike Nerds. They were surprised by the new 2011 Opus Fever 24-inch kid bike and it wasn't long before they start swapping out parts to built their own visions.

Take a look at what they come up with.

Chloe borrowed the Cervin for a day (the one from Lululemon) before I brought it back at the office!! She just loved it! Her friends were: " whoa, what a cool looking bike! "

Bonne journée!
