Kids Racing

Order your Self-Build Bundle, selecting components for your perfect bike: CX | Road | Triathlon | MTB | Gravel | Track (guide below with EXAMPLES). We add your order to our queue, dispatching your Self-Build Bundle soon after (our live Build Queue is HERE). You receive your custom Self-Build Bundle and choose either to self-assemble or get your local bike shop to do it for you.

By all means supplement with height and age as a guide, but Inside Leg is more accurate as there is a large spread of leg lengths/heights for each age. Put a small book between their legs (like a saddle, high as comfortable) and against the wall. Ask your rider to move away, measure from the top of the book to the floor, using cm or inches.

Unlike other forms of Cycle Racing which have no restrictions, Road Racing to British Cycling Regulations has limits based on Age Group category. These are important to protect the children from overloading their muscles during a race (pushing too large a gear) and to maintain a level playing field between competitors.

Introducing #HUPbikes - the first Youth Specific range of 700c framesets and bikes for ages 6 to 16. After years of building race and championship winning bikes (100's, raced all over the world) we've learnt a lot about kids race bikes.

Previously we've partnered other brands to redevelop their frames, but they were unwilling to offer the kids the best and as we don't settle for "that will do" its now time to move the game forward - with the range of HUP Competition Cycling framesets.Nothing is off-the-shelf, we custom build each bike to fit your riders requirements.

We've pioneered the use of 700c wheels on kids bikes for many years now and a common question is "What are the benefits of 700c wheels on kids bikes?". Handling: especially in CX the larger rolling radius smooths out the terrain - rolling over problems, not in and out of them! Larger diameter wheels are also more stable improving the riders confidence.
