Leading children’s bike brand, Islabikes has launched its new Pro Series range. Islabikes has been at the forefront of children’s bicycle design since the company’s inception in 2006, creating a new category of premium lightweight children’s bikes.
Now in its tenth year, the Pro Series will sit above the current Islabikes range targeting the cycling enthusiast and young racer. The Islabikes Pro Series range will feature four different model families covering Starter Bikes, Cyclocross, Cross Country Mountain Biking and Mixed Terrain Riding.
Holistic design
All Pro Series bikes benefit from Islabikes’ holistic design process, a process used in the design of every Islabike. Custom handlebars, chainsets, pedals, grips, saddles and seatposts have all been designed in house to provide a child-specific fit.
These components have been optimised to work together with Islabikes frames as a complete package, ensuring that optimum reach, stand-over and Q-Factor are all delivered in one package for a comfortable and confidence inspiring ride for young people.
Isla Rowntree, Founder of Islabikes, said: “Every year we attend numerous races and cycling festivals with our bikes. At certain events, Tweedlove and cyclocross races in particular, we have been in awe of the speed and skill levels of some of the young riders.
“I wanted to deliver a range of even lighter, higher specification, performance focused Islabikes with all the benefits of our holistic design approach for those whose lives revolve around youth cycling competition. We have designed full carbon forks that perfectly match the geometry of each bicycle size, low Q factor cranks, our own superlight and grippy cyclocross tyres and sprinkled each bike with titanium and aluminium finishing bits to shave off the last bit of weight.
“These are serious bikes for children who are serious about their cycling. I hope we see some of their names crop up as Olympians in the future.”
