Who is it for?

For 6 to 8 year olds, from 114 to 132 cm, who can already pedal and brake and want a bike their own size. It suits families who mainly ride on cycle lanes, in town and on greenways, without big hills.

The LVR workshop view

Alpha Silver, this time on a real big-kid bike. The Alpha Silver aluminium frame of the Precaliber 20 Freewheel comes with a rigid steel fork, 20-inch wheels with 32 spokes and a ProWheel 127 mm chainset whose 32-tooth chainring has a double guard. A single gear and no derailleur cable: the bike stays simple to maintain and your child can concentrate on balance and braking.

	Precaliber 16	Precaliber 20 Freewheel	Precaliber 20 7-speed
Stage	The independence bike	Transition with no gears	First gears
Frame / fork	Alloy / steel	Alpha Silver alloy / steel	Alpha Silver alloy / 35 mm fork
Reference bike	8.35 kg, 99 to 117 cm	9.45 kg, 114 to 132 cm	10.90 kg, 114 to 132 cm
What it means	Stabilisers possible	Lighter, nothing to adjust	More versatile, heavier

In other words: 9.45 kg, a single freewheel gear, two V-brakes on the handlebar and a kickstand fitted as standard. Trek presents it as the transition model after the stabiliser bike, for 6 to 8 year olds.

No derailleur, no shifter: this 20-inch bike is pared down to the essentials. For a child who has just come off stabilisers, that is an advantage: they can focus on their line, their braking and the traffic around them. For parents, maintenance is limited to the tyres, chain and brakes.

According to Trek's data, the handle built into the saddle can be replaced with a rear light mount: a useful detail when your child starts riding late in the day. The white itself stays highly visible at dusk.

Which Precaliber should you choose?

Model	Wheels	Child's height	Gears / brakes	Weight
Precaliber 16	16 in	99 to 117 cm	1 speed, 2 V-brakes	8.35 kg
Precaliber 20 Freewheel	20 in	114 to 132 cm	1 speed, 2 V-brakes	9.45 kg
Precaliber 20 7-speed	20 in	114 to 132 cm	7 speeds, 2 V-brakes, 35 mm fork	10.90 kg
Wahoo 20 Path	20 in	114 to 132 cm	8-speed microSHIFT, 2 V-brakes	8.75 kg

Our take: at 9.45 kg, the Freewheel weighs 1.45 kg less than the 7-speed Precaliber 20, for the same height range. If your rides stay on the flat, it is more than enough; if the family enjoys tracks, look at the 7-speed version.

LVR sizing advice

Trek gives a range of 114 to 132 cm, for 6 to 8 year olds. On a first 20-inch bike, it is best if your child can still touch the ground with the tips of both feet when seated. Come and try it with them in Béziers: we adjust the saddle height before you set off.

Size	20 inch
Child's height (cm)	114 to 132
Age given by Trek	6 to 8 years
Cranks (mm)	127

Your questions

Why only one gear?	For a lighter, simpler bike, ideal straight after stabilisers.
Can a light be added?	Yes, the saddle handle can make way for a light mount.
Is the kickstand included?	Yes, it is fitted as standard.
Does the white get dirty?	It shows the mud, but a quick clean brings back its shine.

The LVR Cycles verdict

The first big-kid bike in its simplest form: one gear, two hand brakes and a kickstand. Its crisp, bright white stays visible at dusk.

Pros
+ Simple and easy to maintain
+ Lighter than the 7-speed
+ Bright white

Cons
- Single speed for hills
- Rigid fork

Why buy from LVR Cycles? In Béziers, we set the saddle to your child's height, adjust the brake levers and can fit a light mount in place of the handle.
