Crafted almost entirely from recycled composite materials, this one-of-a-kind balance bike has a superlight frame weight of just 2.5kg that makes it fast, fun and easy to push. The carbon chassis is paired with 12-inch carbon wheels that have a 3-spoke design and low-resistance hubs, along with 1.75-inch tires to help it glide smoothly along variable surfaces. A forward-leaning rider position allows for efficient push motion, and the steering geometry is slightly steeper for more agile handling.
The integrated design features a superlight, strong and durable frame crafted from recycled carbon material. The frame is paired with innovative one-piece components including the 12-inch, 3-spoke carbon wheels, stem/handlebar unit, and combined seatpost/saddle. By eliminating the need for most small parts, including spokes and screws, it comes 90% assembled. The user-friendly setup also includes an auto-aligned handlebar and fork along with built-in protective padding on the stem and handlebar ends.
Designed with a superlight and incredibly strong carbon frameset, a low center of gravity, and geometry that puts riders in a forward-leaning posture for a natural, efficient push position, the Pre rCarbon combines confident stability with playful handling and speed. Its unique 12-inch carbon wheels use low-resistance hubs, and the 1.75-inch tires help it glide over bumpy roads and paths for a fast, fun experience that every kid loves.
All the angles, geometry and touch points are designed specifically for smaller bodies and the unique dynamics of a balance bike. The head tube and fork are adjusted to a slightly steeper angle to improve cornering, agility and quickness. The carbon handlebars have a smaller diameter and soft grips for a secure, comfortable hold. And the kid-sized saddle is ergonomically designed with a soft, non-slip material to ensure comfort during long riding sessions.
Combining lightweight agility, balanced geometry and efficient pushing speed, the Pre rCarbon introduces a host of new technologies that make it a one-of-a-kind push bike. Using recycled materials in the frame, fork, wheels and other components, it all adds up to an innovative step toward more sustainable performance.
The superlight and durable frameset is crafted with rCarbon technology that’s seamlessly integrated with one-piece wheels, a sleek stem/ handlebar unit and one-piece saddle/seatpost to achieve a weight of just 2.5kg.
A lower center of gravity adds stability, while a forward-leaning rider position with steeper head and seat tube angles creates an efficient push motion and agile steering.
Smaller diameter handlebars with soft grips and an ergonomic, non-slip saddle provide comfort and control.
The bike comes 90% pre-assembled right out of the box and has an auto-aligned handlebar and fork to help make the setup process simple.
The frame, fork, wheels, handlebar/stem unit and one-piece saddle/seatpost are made from recycled long-strand carbon fibers and proprietary resin formula with a high-pressure, low-void molding process. It delivers the same super-strong, lightweight performance as traditional carbon fiber while reducing carbon emissions by more than 50%*.
The saddle top is made with a thermoplastic polymer using recycled ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) for a soft feel and long-lasting durability. Producing this material reduces carbon emissions by 20%* compared to non-recycled EVA.
The grips are made using discarded polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer with impressive heat resistance and durability. Using this recycled material reduces carbon emissions of the raw material by more than 20%*.
The grips also use recycled thermoplastic rubber (TPR), which offers excellent wear resistance and elasticity while reducing carbon emissions of the raw material by more than 11%*.
Made from discarded ocean plastics that have been recycled into a reprocessed nylon material, Seawastex is used in the tire casings to deliver excellent durability while reducing the carbon footprint of the raw material by more than 11%*.
