For families who want a bike that will last several years, from 8 to 12, and then be passed on to a brother or sister. It is also aimed at children who ride a lot and are hard on their kit.
An Alpha Silver frame equipped like an adult bike. Trek has given this Precaliber 24 an Alpha Silver aluminium frame with rack and kickstand mounts, a replaceable derailleur hanger and a 135 x 5 mm rear quick release. These are the standards of a grown-up bike: in the workshop, the hanger is easy to replace after a fall, and the bike can be equipped for everyday journeys.

In other words: 11.90 kg, an 8-speed 13-34 Shimano Tourney drivetrain, a 45 mm suspension fork and a padded 24-inch saddle. A versatile bike for 8 to 12 year olds that climbs well and soaks up the bumps.
The Alpha Silver aluminium frame, replaceable derailleur hanger and 135 x 5 mm quick-release rear axle are adult bike standards. In the workshop, every part is easy to replace, which extends the bike's life well beyond one child's growth.
The KMC Z8.3 chain and 8-speed 13-34 freewheel are common parts: regular maintenance, cleaning and lubrication, is enough to make them last. The two linear-pull brakes need a check of the pads and cables, which we do at each service.
| Model | Wheels | Child's height | Gears / brakes | Weight |
| Precaliber 20 7-speed | 20 in | 114 to 132 cm | 7 speeds, 2 V-brakes, 35 mm fork | 10.90 kg |
| Precaliber 24 suspension | 24 in | 130 to 150 cm | 8 speeds, 2 V-brakes, 45 mm fork | 11.90 kg |
| Wahoo 24 Path | 24 in | 130 to 150 cm | 8-speed microSHIFT, 2 V-brakes | 9.80 kg |
| Wahoo 24 Trail | 24 in | 130 to 150 cm | 9-speed microSHIFT, hydraulic discs | 10.50 kg |
Our take: the four colours of this Precaliber 24 suspension are identical, at 11.90 kg. If the bike is to serve several children, its robust construction and standard parts make it a good investment.

LVR sizing advice Trek's range runs from 130 to 150 cm, for 8 to 12 year olds. Sitting on the saddle, your child should touch the ground with their toes and reach the brake levers without effort. Come and try it with them in our Béziers shop.
