Description

Have you ever thought about taking your kids for a ride on B-roads and dirt tracks? How about taking part in a local CX race? Is a mountain bike really the right tool for the job? We don't think so. We think that kids need a proper gravel bike, just like adults.
The Rag Jr was one of the most difficult projects in a long time. Scaling down a gravel bike proved to be more difficult than expected, but it was worth investing time and energy into the development. Notable features include an ergonomically designed cockpit, handlebars with optimal drop and reach, correctly positioned hoods for small hands, downsized 35 mm gravel tires with a fast rolling profile and short cranks with a narrow Q-factor. The geometry of the lightweight frame and fork took some time to adjust, and eventually NS arrived at values that comfortably fit kids 135 cm to 150 cm tall (a shorter stem needs to be fitted at the lower end of the range).
Although getting used to a dropbar bike can take some time, the effort required to master the skills is worth it. This is especially true if you spend most of your time riding on fast, unpaved roads on relatively flat terrain. The action radius of a child on a mini gravel bike is much greater than on a mountain bike. In addition, full-length mudguards make it possible to ride comfortably even in wet conditions. The Rag Jr can also be interesting for children who want to try cyclocross, as they can familiarize themselves with the riding position. In fact, Schwalbe produces special 26" cyclocross tires with a very aggressive tread that is perfect for playing in the mud.
We love the Rag Jr, this bike just rocks and every kid who is serious about cycling should have one of these bikes in their quiver.
