The Frog 74 is a 26-inch kid’s hybrid bike that is the ideal multi-purpose geared bike, suitable for 12-14 year-olds. This premium bike’s lightweight, yet robust aluminium frame weighs just 9.55kg, giving young riders great agility as they conquer roads, pavements, towpaths and forest trails. Equipped with Kenda small block eight tyres ensure maximum stability and grip on any terrain. It also offers full-length mudguards to protect against dirt and splashes, the option to attach a kickstand to the frame to keep the bike upright, and the option to add a pannier rack for hassle-free transportation of school books and sports equipment.
The Frog 74 features premium components made specifically for kids to bring ease and comfort to every young rider, including a quick-release child-specific saddle that effortlessly adjusts to provide the perfect riding position. The FrogFit Technology® youth-specific 8-speed gear shifters offer short lever travel, transforming gear changes into seamless transitions, and the Tektro brakes with small, easy-to-reach levers offer greater control and improved confidence. Our patented Frog cranks reduce the distance between pedals, providing young adventurers increased pedalling efficiency.
The Frog 74 is designed for longevity and has been optimised for adaptability and to help maximise the lifetime of the bike for a growing child. It boasts a lower bracket position to ensure a safer ergonomically superior riding experience. This well-thought-out design also allows for a greater leg-length range, perfectly accommodating the growth of those ever-lengthening limbs! To further enhance its adaptability, the handlebar height can be effortlessly adjusted with a 40mm range, making it a worthwhile investment that evolves alongside your child.

One of the biggest temptations is to buy a child's bike that they will grow into. However, this will likely have the opposite effect and put your child off bikes and cycling altogether! Another common mistake is to purchase a budget kids' bike but these models are often as heavy as a child which can lead to frustration at not being able to cycle. That’s why Frog bikes are lightweight and designed to accommodate the anatomy of children specifically.
The data obtained during our child-specific frame design research has helped us create a helpful kids’ bike sizing app. View our bike sizing guide to discover the best-sized bike for your child or speak to one of our local stockists about our children’s bike range.
