Trek Wahoo 26 Path Fury Red: riding long distances with the parents

The Trek Wahoo 26 Path lets young riders from 1.46 to 1.60 m keep up with adults over real distances: big 26-inch wheels, 8 speeds and 10.20 kg according to Trek. The Alpha Silver aluminium frame comes with an alloy fork and easy-to-maintain V-brakes. Fury Red is an intense, energetic red.

Who is it for?

For the young cyclist who wants to ride far and for a long time: Sunday rides on the quiet backcountry lanes, cycle routes on holiday, first full-day rides. For parents who want a bike light enough not to put them off.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha Silver aluminium for the last bike before an adult one. The Wahoo 26 Path is the biggest in the family. Trek keeps the Alpha Silver alloy and alloy fork, but lengthens the cranks to 152 mm and the seatpost to 300 mm to keep up with fast-growing pre-teens.

	Wahoo 26 Path (this bike)	Wahoo 24 Path	Wahoo 24 Trail
Frame	Alpha Silver 26 inch	Alpha Silver 24 inch	Alpha Silver 24 inch
Fork / brakes	Alloy, V-brake	Alloy, V-brake	Rigid, hydraulic discs
Tyres	Connection Comp 26x2.00 in	Connection Comp 24x2.00 in	Kenda Amrak 24x2.20 in
What it means	For 1.46 to 1.60 m, 10.20 kg	For 1.30 to 1.50 m, 9.80 kg	For trails, 10.50 kg

In other words: the 26 Path weighs only 400 g more than the 24 Path, yet it fits young riders up to 1.60 m. It is the natural stepping stone to a first adult bike.

On a long ride, weight and position matter more than anything. At 10.20 kg and with 152 mm cranks in proportion to the rider's height, the Wahoo 26 Path limits fatigue and lets them stay in the saddle for several hours.

The padded saddle has a built-in mount for a Blendr rear light, and the stem is Blendr compatible too. When heading home at the end of the day or in grey weather, your child stays visible to drivers.

Which Wahoo should you choose?

Model	Wheels / child's height	Gears	Brakes	Weight
Wahoo 24 Path	24 in / 1.30 to 1.50 m	8	V-brake	9.80 kg
Wahoo 24 Trail	24 in / 1.30 to 1.50 m	9	Hydraulic discs	10.50 kg
Precaliber 24 suspension	24 in / 1.30 to 1.50 m	8	V-brake	11.90 kg
Wahoo 26 Path	26 in / 1.46 to 1.60 m	8	V-brake	10.20 kg

Our take: at 10.20 kg for a 26-inch bike, this Wahoo is still lighter than the Precaliber 24 suspension (11.90 kg). If your child is under 1.46 m, the Wahoo 24 Path is a better fit.

LVR sizing advice

Trek recommends this Wahoo 26 Path for a height of 1.46 to 1.60 m. Between 1.46 and 1.50 m, the 24-inch is still an option: a test ride settles it. Bring your child to our Béziers shop and we will compare the two on the spot.

Size	26 inch
Child's height (cm)	146-160
Cranks (mm)	152
Seatpost (mm)	300
Handlebar width (mm)	580

Your questions

Can it handle long rides?	Yes, at a suitable pace and with breaks; its 8 speeds help on the hills.
What maintenance is needed?	A check of the brake pads, chain and cables before the summer season.
How do you make it visible?	With Blendr lights on the saddle and stem, and light-coloured clothing.
Is the red matt or gloss?	It is an intense red that catches the light.

The LVR Cycles verdict

A 26-inch Wahoo built for long family rides, light and easy to live with. Its intense red adds energy and visibility.

Pros
+ Light for a 26-inch bike
