Why We Love the Meerkat 26in Five Speed Bike

Looking for a bike that offers both safety and confidence for your young riders? Look no further than the Cleary Meerkat 26-inch bike. Designed specifically for kids who have outgrown their 24-inch wheels but are not quite ready for an adult bike, the Meerkat is the perfect choice for grade schoolers and middle schoolers, typically aged 10-12 years.

Featuring a lightweight and comfortable steel frame, the Meerkat offers a low and stable geometry that instills confidence while riding over challenging terrains such as curbs and rocks. Equipped with an easy-to-use 5-speed drivetrain, your little ones will have no trouble navigating various riding conditions. The bike also comes with Tektro disc brakes, ensuring excellent stopping power for increased safety.
