Small Size, Big Performance
The Sunpeed Alpha 20"
We know Darwin kids are active, so we’ve stocked a bike that can keep up. It’s light enough for them to handle with ease, yet tough enough for the dirt trails and tropical conditions of the Top End.
Alpha 20" comes equipped with III PRO Hydraulic Disc Brakes. Unlike traditional rim or mechanical brakes, these require very little hand strength to operate, giving young riders total confidence and control when stopping on hills or in wet weather.
Adventure-Ready Geometry
With its 6061-T6 Aluminium frame and lockable suspension fork, the Alpha 20" offers a smooth, stable ride. The 7-speed Shimano shifting is intuitive for kids learning to use gears, allowing them to climb hills without frustration. Plus, the fun "cat" graphics and vibrant colours—White, Orange, and Pink—make it a bike they’ll actually be excited to ride.
Key Features:
• Braking: Hydraulic disc brakes for effortless stopping power.
• Lightweight Build: Easy to maneuver and easy for parents to transport.
• Trail to Path: Lockable suspension for versatile riding surfaces.
• Kid-Friendly Shifting: Simple Shimano 7-speed drivetrain.
• Durable Design: High-quality alloy components built to last.
