FALTER FX 407 ND

The 2021 FX 407 ND model from FALTER is a children’s bike that impresses with its robust construction and well-thought-out features. Priced at 519 EUR, it offers good value for money. The frame is made from 6061 aluminium, which makes the bike stable and lightweight, contributing to a total weight of 15 kg. The maximum load capacity is 60 kg, providing sufficient load-bearing capacity for young riders.

The bike is fitted with aluminium V-brakes, which ensure reliable braking performance. The brake levers are also made of aluminium and designed as 2.5-finger levers, making them easy for children to operate. The gear system consists of a Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub gear with a coaster brake, operated via the Shimano Nexus SL-C3000-7 gear lever. This combination offers a simple and low-maintenance gear solution.

The rigid fork, featuring a unicrown design, is made from Hi-Ten steel, which contributes to the bike’s durability. Lighting is provided by a MATRIX LED front light with 20 LUX and a MATRIX LED rear light with a parking light function, both powered by a hub dynamo. This ensures good visibility in road traffic.

Other features include VP-809 children’s pedals, a square-taper bottom bracket, a MATRIX crankset with 38 teeth and a length of 152 mm, and a 19-tooth sprocket. Power is transmitted via a KMC Z6 chain. The ergonomically shaped aluminium children’s handlebars and Herrmans children’s grips ensure a comfortable grip.

The stem and seat post are also made of aluminium, which reduces the bike’s weight. The MATRIX aluminium rims with 36 holes and MATRIX More Miles 1 tyres with reflective strips offer stability and safety. The front hub features a Shimano DH-C30003 hub dynamo with 3 watts of power, whilst the rear hub is a Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub gear with a coaster brake.

Additional components such as the MATRIX Kids saddle, the plastic chain guard and mudguards, as well as the aluminium centre-mounted kickstand, round off the overall package. A sturdy steel tubular luggage rack with a spring-loaded flap allows you to carry luggage. Overall, the FALTER FX 407 ND is a well-equipped and safe children’s bike, designed for durability and ease of use.
