About this deal

With geometry figures in the ballpark of most modern enduro bikes, e-bikes included, I felt right at home on the new Wild almost instantly. I lowered the handlebars one spacer, which put me in a position I preferred.

The extra assistance in this mode is certainly noticeable. I found it beneficial that it continues to provide assistance for a short while after you stop pedalling.Markel Uriarte (MU): I was in charge of the Wild project, coordinating the team and speaking with the team riders, ambassadors and dealers to see the approach that the new Wild should have. One thing to note is you can tell it has stiff and direct handling. On longer, continuous descents, I noticed more hand fatigue than expected. The SKØG can also be used as a balance bike if your child hasn’t quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, which will help speed up the “learning to ride” phase. We’ve reviewed the slightly larger Forme Cubley 18, and we were very impressed. The Cubley 16 is just a slightly smaller version and equally as good.

Some countries such as Norway and Scotland have a 'right to roam', which means you have the right to access all areas of land unless explicitly excluded; provided you respect the interests of other people, care for the environment, and take responsibility for your own actions. The frame bearings use additional seals to prevent water and dirt ingress, also helping to reduce required maintenance of the bike.It’s unusual to find a lightweight aluminium framed 16″ wheel kids bike at this price point. B’Twin is the in-house brand for Decathlon, which explains why – they’re such a huge company they have economies of scale that many smaller brands don’t have. This means they can deliver a great value kids bike at a cheap price. The woom 3 Automagic is the smallest kids bike with gears making it an excellent choice if you live in a hilly area. The “Automagic” in the name is the best bit. The bike automatically shifts between the two gears depending on the speed it’s being ridden and the gradient your child is riding up.

MU: The main goal of the new Wild was to have the same performance on the trail as a Rallon. So, starting from that point, we updated everything on the frame. The frame construction is completely different to tune the frame stiffness, also the bike is much lighter than the previous one. The geometry is similar to the Rallon, and the kinematics have been updated to have a bike that is more poppy and more fun on the trails. The Frog 44 is a new version of the really popular Frog 48, their previous sixteen inch wheel bike. They’ve introduced a lower standover for the frame, meaning children can start riding it with legs 4 cm shorter than before (i.e 44cm rather than 48cm inside leg). Other features on this bike include a size specific crank set for little legs, narrow bars, short reach stem and smaller pedals, plus grippy tyres so you don’t have to worry about your Cycle Sprog riding through puddles!It’s worth noting that the guarantee on the Wild Bikes is only 1 year, and on the Islabikes and Frog Bikes is 5 years for frame and forks – so obviously the Wild Bikes aren’t expected to handle the same sort of terrain as their more expensive counterparts. However, if you’re not intending to hurtle your bikes down off road trails, then these could be very good value for money. Suspension-wise, Orbea has tweaked the leverage curve to give the 2023 Wild a more playful ride character. It has reduced the overall progression of the bike, increasing the mid-stroke support. The 14″ wheeler is towards the lighter end of the majority of other lightweight kids bike manufacturers, which is good to see, as at that age kids want as light a bike as possible. He confirmed for me that the rearcassette on the 20″ and 24″ wheel Wild Bike has a range of 11-32, which was the missing bit of information on the specification.
