Sometimes simplicity is the key to success! We listened closely to what aspiring young mountain bikers really expect from their bike – low weight, safe handling, reliable components – and oriented the development of the Acid 240 SLX around these principles. The result is a bike with a lightweight aluminum fork, light, easy-to-use rim brakes, and a wide-ranging 9-speed gear system that can handle even the steepest climbs with ease. Additionally, it features a slimmer handlebar with narrower grips that can be optimally grasped by children's hands – for top control over the bike on all trails.
