The company Supurb specialises in high-quality children's mountain bikes. They have now even developed their own extra-soft suspension fork for the BO20.

Because he didn't want to put his son through cheap, lovelessly cobbled-together rubbish, Sebastian Tegtmeier built his junior a balance bike himself. This was followed by bikes in 12 inch, 16 inch and 20 inch. A 24-inch bike finally rounded off the collection. The story of Tegtmeier's Supurb brand is as touching as it is pleasing. After all, anyone looking for an all-terrain bike for their offspring has rarely found one. At first glance, the models from the industry giants may look like small mountain bikes, but they are usually heavy as lead and, due to cost pressures, have a ramshackle design.

Ultra-sensitive suspension fork with 70 millimetre stroke

The bikes from Supurb are more expensive, but thoroughly optimised for children. Tegtmeier has now developed its own fork with carbon/aluminium casting for the 20-inch "BO20" model so that mini bikers can have even more fun off-road. The part offers a real 70 millimetre spring travel, is ultra-sensitive and can be adjusted in rebound, compression and air pressure. If you order the fork individually, you will have to pay the proud price of 429 euros. If you choose it together with the BO20, you pay a surcharge of 250 euros. The basic version of the BO20 comes with a rigid fork, Avid disc brakes and 1x10 gears from Shimano. The 9-kilo bike costs 699 euros. The suspension version costs 949 euros. There is still only one available. It belongs to Tegtmeier Junior, who rides it diligently over the trails together with his dad. Quality tester, so to speak. The bike is available from Bike components available.
