Hoy Bonaly 26 - Lightweight MTB with disc brakes - superb condition

Description

Our kids (who do triathlons and some occasional off-road biking) have had four Hoy bikes between them, and they have been amazing. Lightweight, and really well specced, we have found them to be better than any of the similar alternatives.

The condition is as-new - and you have to look closely to find any tell-tale marks it's been used. It's really light, which is especially important for kids who have a lower body weight.

This is the biggest MTB bike they made, and is designed for kids 140cm and taller (Hoy say 8 years-old, but probably more like 9 or 10). Minimum inside leg: 69cm.

It was sold for between £530 - £560. We bought it from new, and it has just been thoroughly checked (nothing was needed).

If you want a bike that makes kids fall in love with cycling, this is it.


Here's how Hoy describe it:

At Hoy bikes we’re motivated by always remembering how riding a bike is a special part of childhood, so our bikes make that experience more enjoyable for children and offer the most value and reward for parents. The Bonaly is our best-selling children’s bike, named after the area of the Pentland Hills where a younger Sir Chris Hoy first rode his mountain bike. Everything about this bike has been designed to make it equally likely to be a part of an illustrious cycling career as those hills were. Understanding that a child’s bike is a much greater percentage of their weight than an adult’s bike is, we reduced the weight of the redesigned Bonaly wherever we could – and it was a light bike to begin with.

All new frame tubing dimensions, lower-weight components, fewer spokes, we even developed foam padding for the saddle which saved weight and improved comfort. Combine our lightest ever children’s bike weights with our proven frame fit and size specific, narrower cranks that put the feet closer together and mean no overstretched legs and the differences made to a child’s riding can be dramatic. Enough to get little riders over the Bonaly hills and back? Hopefully, but should you need to carry the bike for them at any point you’ll be happy with that low weight too!

A small adult’s bike or a junior mountain-biker’s ride? The Bonaly 26 Disc is made for real exploring, everything a mountain bike should offer in a light, efficient package - not designing for suspension forks keeps the frame lower for more secure handling and keeps things as simple and effective as we can.

Collection from Bury St Edmunds - but we can probably bring it to Cambridge or Ipswich.
