Our Guide to the Frog Road 58 Kids Bike

The Frog Road 58 Kids Bike is a great choice for young riders who are ready to take their road cycling to the next level. It's a lightweight and durable bike that is perfect for riding on paved roads and bike paths. 

In this blog post, we will take a comprehensive look at the Frog Road 58 Kids Bike, including its features, benefits, and specifications.

Key Features  

Like all Frog bikes, The Frog Road 58 has a number of key features that make it a great choice for young riders: 

Lightweight Frame 

The lightweight aluminium frame makes the bike easy to manoeuvre and control, even for smaller riders. This is important for young riders who are still developing their balance and coordination.  

For young riders looking to get into road cycling and racing, an agile lightweight road bike will be a great advantage.  

Drop Handlebars 

The drop handlebars give the bike a more aerodynamic profile and allow for a more comfortable riding position. This is especially beneficial for longer rides.   

Drop handlebars can be a bit intimidating for beginners, but they are actually quite easy to use. The Frog Road 58 has narrow and short-drop handlebars, which makes them easier for kids to reach and control. The handlebars also have a comfortable grip area, which makes them enjoyable to hold. 

Patented Frog Cranks

Growing young legs deserve cranks that grow with them! Traditional cranks can be too long and wide, forcing kids into awkward positions that strain their knees and hinder efficient pedalling. That's where Frog's patented shorter cranks come in, designed specifically for smaller riders.

They allow for a natural pedalling motion, reducing strain and maximising power transfer with every push. The narrower Q-factor (distance between pedals) further optimises comfort and minimises the risk of knee pain, letting your child focus on the pure joy of riding.

Gears 

The 9-speed Shimano drivetrain provides a wide range of gears for different terrain, so your child can easily climb hills and cruise on flat roads. This is important for young riders who are still developing their strength and endurance. 

We have a helpful blog on whether or not your child is ready for a bike with gears if you are not sure.  

Tyres  

The Frog Road 58 doesn't just claim versatility, it delivers it through its grippy Kenda tires. Imagine your child confidently navigating:

• Smooth pavement: Effortless rolling for leisurely rides, park adventures, and bike paths.

• Loose gravel: Tackle trails with ease, thanks to the tires' ability to bite into the surface for stable handling.

• Dirt paths: Explore hidden off-road gems without fear of slipping, letting your child discover the thrill of nature.
