The Skid range received major R&D and has been updated to provide better bikes for young riders. Bringing top-end features to kids at the right price for parents. Featuring optimised geometry, the Skids promotes balance and comfort. Alloy components, integrated kickstands, suspension forks, as well as an assortment of other features are unseen in the kids bicycle class making the Skid range a true BIC offering.

Hydro-formed 6061 Alloy frame

Across the range, Skid bikes feature class leading frames. Trickle-down technology means that the new frames benefit from our leading platforms. Alloy frame tubes are hydro-formed into complex shapes to increase strength and stiffness, minimizing weight and excess material use - perfect for young riders.

Easy ride geometry

Geometry on our kids bicycles are designed to improve balance and comfort moving the rider in a more natural feeling position. With better balance and more comfort, confidence is improved. This makes for swift riding progression.

Replaceable derailleur hanger

All geared Skid models feature replaceable derailleur hangers. These are readily available from Speedlab.

Lightweight alloy wheels

Across the range, Skids feature lightweight, strong, alloy wheels. This makes for easier pedaling, quicker steering and better handling.

Disc brakes

Disc brakes on selected Skid models offer dependable all weather performance over rim brakes, as well as a lighter feeling lever pull.

Quality suspension forks

Suspension forks on selected Skid models are quality components that are designed around the specific needs of lightweight riders. Light break-away, lightly damped and quick rebound, with very little maintenance requirements (other than keeping it clean) makes these ideal for your young riders.

Kickstand mount

An integrated kickstand mount in the left rear chainstay, makes the addition of a kickstand neat and uncomplicated. 16”, 20” and 24” Skids all come with kickstands.

Cable Routing

Full lengh cable housings mean that the cables require less maintenance and both gears and brakes work better for longer.

Youth Saddles

Silverback Skid saddles are designed to suit young bodies, and we’ve made sure that they offer more durability. These all come in awesome designs to delight young riders.

Low standover

Low standover means that the bike can comfortably be ridden by both male and female riders, giving more room for movement. This improves control and confidence while getting the hang of your bike.

Training wheels

16” Skid bikes come with easily removable lightweight training wheels. This means that your youngster can immediately get riding with the aid of the training wheels, and as their skill and confidence grow, you can remove the training wheels.

1x Drivetrains

Silverback fits 1x drivetrains to as many bikes as we can. 1x offers less maintenance, is more intuitive to use and offers a wider gear range than 3x groupsets. We spec smaller chainrings in favour of climbing prowace and ease of pedaling, over flat terrain top speed. Everyone can benefit from easier climbing.

Size Specific Contact Points

Young riders have different proportions to adult or teen riders, and so our bikes are designed to suit their contact points. Smaller-thinner grips, narrower bars, adjustable brake lever reach, smaller pedals, shorter cranks and kid specific saddles complete our Skid ranges.

Mud Guards

Selected Skids come factory fitted with mudguards. These keep mud and water from the rider’s back.

Chain guards

Chain guards on the 16” Skid keeps your youngster’s feet away from the chain and drive parts.

Durable Decals and paint

Learning riders have more bumps and scratches and thus require more durability on the frame and components. The decals and paint on our Skid bicycles are designed for just that.

Tyre clearance

Skid frames are designed to offer more tyre clearance, and Skids are fitted with higher volume tyres to improve traction and comfort.

Alloy control parts

We fit high quality lightweight anodized alloy control parts. These are lighter than steel counterparts and more durable long term.
