Who is it for?

For the 6 to 8 year old who has moved past stabilisers and feels too big on their 16-inch. It also suits parents who want a bike whose saddle can be raised over several seasons.

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.

Moving from 16 to 20 inches changes the position: the wider 560 mm handlebar and 40 mm rise place your child slightly further forward, with more control. The 127 mm cranks match the length of their legs, for smooth, efficient pedalling.

As your child grows, the saddle can be raised up to the mark on the seatpost. Drop into the workshop when your child is pedalling with their knees too bent: an adjustment of a few centimetres is often enough to make them comfortable again for family rides on the greenways.

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 sits between the Precaliber 16 (8.35 kg) and the Precaliber 20 7-speed (10.90 kg). For a child who is just starting to ride alone, it is the easiest to get to grips with.

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
