Mountain bike pedals for children
Small shoe sizes need small pedals - logical! But the design and pins are also decisive for how well children stand on their bike. With special platform pedals for children, a children's bike can be perfectly adapted for off-road use. Bright colours on the bike parts make every children's bike an absolute eye-catcher.
Sixpack 1st Ride PA pedals
32 interchangeable pins in a durable pedal body made of polyamide plastic offer children's feet a particularly non-slip connection to the bike. For smaller children, the pins can also be completely removed to protect their shins from injury. Removable reflectors ensure visibility in road traffic. 49.95 Euro
Tatze Contact CNC Kids
Tatze did not simply shrink an adult model for the development of their children's pedals, but developed a lightweight axle and adapted the material thicknesses. As a result, at 190 grams, the pedals weigh less than any juice pack and are still approved for use up to 60 kilos. There is a special junior model for older children weighing up to 90 kilos. Small pins with adjustable cant provide plenty of grip on the CNC-milled pedal body. 69 / 79 euros
Reverse Black One JR
Children who ride a lot and intensively need components that match their performance level and size. The JR version is a smaller version of the classic Reverse Black One pedal and has been specially developed for children who need the strong grip of an adult pedal. With no rider weight limit and 16 interchangeable pins per pedal, it offers plenty of grip in a 100 x 83 millimetre size that fits smaller feet perfectly. Reverse recommends the pedal for children between the ages of eight and twelve with shoe sizes between 33 and 39. 99.90 euros

Mountain bike grips for children
In addition to a thinner diameter for small hands, young bikers also need good damping and plenty of grip on their children's mountain bike. Only suitable grips allow children to develop a good feel for their bike and learn faster. Specialised children's grips are an absolute must for young shredders.
SDG Slater JR
In the grip area, the Slater JR offers children's hands two different strengths thanks to the "Dual Density Design". This means that small hands are placed in a comfortable position on the grips with a diameter of 25 to 26 millimetres. The soft surface with the SDG logo design offers good vibration damping and prevents slipping even on rough trail descents. 18,99 Euro
Sixpack 1st Ride
With a diameter of 26 millimetres and a sawtooth profile, the Sixpack grips not only give kids a good grip but also an extra dose of cushioning. A large flange at the end of the grip protects against injuries. There is a choice of four colours. Only suitable for special children's handlebars with a diameter of 19 millimetres. 14.95 Euro
Reverse Youngstar
It is not only the narrow diameter of the Youngstar MTB grips of 22 millimetres that is ideal for small children's hands. Reverse has also constructed the mini grips in two layers. A soft rubber compound on the surface prevents slipping, while a reinforced plastic core protects the handlebar ends of kids' bikes in particular in the event of contact with the ground. Clever! 16.90 Euro
Mountain bike handlebars & saddles for children
Children are not just small adults. They have their very own anatomy. To ensure that your bike fits them perfectly, you need special bike parts for children on the cockpit and in the seating area. A suitable handlebar makes it easier for them to control the descent, and a saddle that is also comfortable for small backsides allows kids to last longer on tour.
SDG Slater JR
When it comes to children's ergonomics, SDG goes one step further and reduces the diameter of the bar ends on the Slater MTB handlebars from 22.2 to 19 millimetres. This means that only special children's grips, such as the Slater JR grip, fit and an adapter is required for brake and gear levers. On the other hand, the 650 millimetre wide and 260 gram light handlebars offer children with small hands the basis for a cockpit that is perfectly adapted to them. 52.99 euros
Reverse Youngstar
A good kids' handlebar must be adapted to the special ratio of arm span and shoulder width in children. Reverse has therefore developed an aluminium handlebar weighing just 248 grams with an increased backsweep of nine degrees. This allows children to control their bike more actively thanks to optimised ergonomics. The shortenable MTB handlebars are available in 560 or 660 millimetre widths. 34.90 / 39.90 Euro
SDJ Fly JR Saddle
Naturally, children also have smaller sit bone distances than adults. The design of the Fly RJ MTB saddle relieves the perineal area of young bikers, while the raised rear provides additional support for the hips. A wide and flat saddle nose makes it easier for young bikers to master climbs on tour. The children's saddle with PU foam padding weighs 270 grams. 39.99 euros
