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.

The 32-tooth chainring is surrounded by a double guard that stops the chain from jumping off and protects trousers. Paired with the 18-tooth sprocket, it gives a taller gear than on a 16-inch: your child goes faster for the same pedalling effort.

The two linear-pull brakes bite hard on the rims. Explain to your child that they should brake progressively, with both levers, especially on descents. A helmet is still a must, and lights are a good complement to this bright red as soon as the light starts to fade.

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: all four Precaliber 20 Freewheel bikes weigh 9.45 kg; this bright red is the most eye-catching. To tackle the garrigue tracks, the 7-speed Precaliber 20 adds a 35 mm fork for 1.45 kg more.

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

Are the brakes powerful?	Yes, two effective V-brakes; teach your child to brake progressively.
Can the chain come off?	The guarded chainring reduces that risk.
Is it fast?	The 32 x 18 gearing lets your child ride faster than on a 16-inch.
Is the red neon?	Almost: it is a dazzling, very bright red.

The LVR Cycles verdict

A lively, simple Precaliber 20 Freewheel, with effective hand brakes and a guarded chainring. Its dazzling red makes it visible from afar.

Pros
+ Highly visible red
+ Double-guarded chainring
+ Faster gearing than a 16-inch

Cons
- Single speed on hills
- No suspension

Why buy from LVR Cycles? Our Béziers workshop adjusts the V-brakes for small hands, sets the saddle and can add suitable lights to the bike.
