Frame description
Your aspiring young rider deserves a bike that's every bit as well designed and made as mum and dad's. That's why the Numove 140's slimline frame is designed from the ground up to be as light as it possibly can be, without sacrificing the strength that any child's bike needs to shrug off the rough and tumble of play and the occasional mishap. With a matching alloy rigid fork and proportions and geometry to flatter a youngster's growing confidence, it's the starter bike you probably wish was available when you were a kid.

Learning to ride a bike is a rite of passage for all of us, and a light bike just makes the process a little easier. The Numove 140's specially designed frame and fork is built with low weight in mind, and matched with components – like the CUBE stem and German-made Thun bottom bracket – that are also light and durable. Light wheels are shod with narrow tyres, and we fitted V-brakes front and rear – with levers, handlebars and grips matched to small hands – for their simplicity and ease of use. We haven't forgotten safety, of course, which is why edges are all rounded and the chain is entirely enclosed. And, although it's light, it's also built to be child-tough, so it'll easily stand up to some spirited play as your child's confidence grows.
