The all-new F-Trick full suspension range, has so many things in common with the high-end adult bikes that we’re hard pressed to call it a kids bike. Forward Geometry, the Updated Zero Suspension System, 120mm and 130mm travel, dropper posts, 12x148mm drop-outs, 30mm stems, 4 piston brakes and 2.4” tyres. It’s enough to leave you out of breath.
Picking up the baton from the old Factor range, the F-Trick comes in 24” and 26” flavours. As such the F-Trick 24” is perfect for kids from 8 to 11 years old (135-155cm) and the F-Trick 26” suits anyone from 10 to 14 years old (145-165cm).
UPDATED ZERO WITH MORE TRAVEL THAN EVER BEFORE
One of the raddest features of the new F-Trick range is that both the 24” and 26” versions come with the all new Updated Zero Suspension System. The F-Trick is only the third range to feature this new take on our Zero system, following hard on the heels of the recently launched Neat and F-Podium models. It’s a gift that keeps giving when you consider it gives 120mm of travel on the smaller-wheeled version (up from 100mm) and 130mm on the 26” model (compared to 120mm on the Factor it replaces) as well as the many other advantages well detail later. The forks have also been upgraded, from 120mm on the 24” bike (100mm on the Factor 24”) and 140mm on the 26” bike (up from 120mm on the Factor 26”).
This update to the ZERO system improves acceleration and sensitivity and provides peppier pedal response. The F-Trick makes better use of each pedal stroke with your pedal power being transferred more directly to the wheel. The advantages of the new ZERO system are as follows:
•Improved initial sensitivity and trail compliance.
•A more progressive kinematic.
•A lighter system with improved weight to stiffness ratio.
•More compact with less unsprung weight.
•Greater seatpost insertion depth.
