Propain Tyee and Propain Spindrift are very popular with enduro and freeride bikers. After all, the German manufacturer can advertise with a lot of expertise and an attractive price strategy. With the Tyee YTH and the Spindrift YTH, Propain is making these arguments accessible to young bikers too. Raise the curtain on the new junior fullys from Propain.

With the Propain Tyee YTH and the Propain Spindrift YTH, the manufacturer from Lake Constance is launching two new fullys for youngsters. The bikes are based on the direct-to-consumer brand's popular enduro and freeride models and are designed to offer young shredders an uncompromising base for any type of trail. However, the new YTH bikes from Propain are not simply shrunken adult fullys, but are tailored to the needs of young mountain bikers with carefully selected components.

Plenty of suspension travel for young bikers

The new children's bikes from Propain rely on the same features, like their full-grown role models. The frames of the Tyee YTH and Spindrift YTH are made of so-called blend alloy, which should make the chassis significantly lighter than was even conceivable a few years ago for long-stroke bikes made of light alloy. In addition, there are specially sealed rear suspension bearings, which should be particularly robust and durable. Generous frame protectors are also designed to protect the hardware. While the new Spindrift YTH can only be ordered in size S, the Tyee YTH is available in frame sizes XS or S. The aim is to provide growing enduro and freeride bikers with a bike that fits perfectly.

The Tyee XTH enduro model has 160 millimetres of front and rear suspension travel to cushion even large bumps on the trail. The youth freerider Propain Spindrift YTH even has 180 millimetres of crumple zone. This means that even heavy impacts on big jumps or high drops should not be a problem. Thanks to wide-range cassettes and an optional dropper post upgrade, youngsters can get onto the trail under their own steam. A tool mount under the top tube can be used to transport a spare tube, for example. The new junior bikes from Propain all come with 27.5-inch wheels.

Equipment

When it comes to the equipment of the Tyee YTH and Spindrift YTH, Propain makes no compromises and gives the youth mountain bikes full equipment. Grippy Schwalbe tyres spin on the Newmen wheels and powerful Sram brakes bring even fast downhill riders to a halt. A highlight in the equipment list is certainly the new mechanical Sram Eagle 70 transmission. The suspension components come from Rockshox.

>> The Propain Spindrift is also available in carbon fibre. We tested how it performs in tough enduro use here.
