As one of the first mountain bike manufacturers to devote so much time to the kids segment, we are very proud to present the third generation of the Yuma. Our aim was and still is to build a children's mountain bike that is in no way inferior to the adults.
“The perfect playmate for your next adventure, whether on the pump track, in the bike park or in the forest behind the house. With the Yuma you can surprise mom and make dad proud. Grab your Yuma and experience a great time that you will never forget.” – This is probably the best way to describe the Yuma.
The Yuma is a children's full suspension bike that is on a par with its big role models. A full-fledged mountain bike for motivated youngsters. Developed back then for the kids of the PROPAIN founders, today it is a bike for motivated gravity youngsters and a popular fun bike all over the world.
Optimally designed for the needs of young shredders and senderellas. The lightweight aluminum frame, optimized suspension system and balanced geometry give rookies stability and safety on every ride.
Delivered with 24" wheels, the Yuma can be easily converted to 26" wheels using a flip chip and can grow with the child. This means children can have fun for a long time and parents' investment lasts a long time. But be careful: there will come a moment when you realize that your child is faster than you.
YUMA – GROW WITH IT!
Highlights and novelties
Overall Concept and Geometry
The lightweight aluminum frame and balanced geometry give the young shredders safety and stability. The flat steering angle and low bottom bracket ensure safe handling. Thanks to the reduced standover height, the kids can put their feet on the ground when necessary and always have full control of their bike. The optimal length of the top tube in combination with a steep seat angle allows the youngsters to sit upright when pedaling and optimal weight distribution over the handlebars when blasting downhill. The Yuma is a small enduro and is designed for everything from bike parks to tours with the family.
Balance bike concept – Grow with it
Everyone grows with their challenges and so does our Yuma. Our "Rookie Launcher" comes with 24" wheels. Using a flip chip on the dropout, the bike can easily be converted to 26" wheels. This means the bike will stay loyal to the young shredders for many years.
Our recommendation:
24“: height of 1.25 m – about 1.50 m
26“: height of 1.40 m – about 1.55 m
The maximum rider weight is 80 kg.
The Grown-Up Kit for 26" wheels can be purchased separately and is not included in delivery.
Suspension system / kinematics
The Yuma is suspended by a single pivot. A simple system that is ideally designed for children's bikes. It saves weight and still offers good progression and sensitivity for the light riders. In addition, it is easy to maintain and uncomplicated to handle.
New design concept and colors
As with our adult models, we are also breaking new ground in terms of design. The modern design of the Yuma is elegant, tidy and dynamic and can easily keep up with the "big ones". The flat top tube gives the Yuma a slim and simple look. The color of the head tube badge, frame decals and handles can be freely configured. The new frame colors of the Yuma are "Badmint (Matt)" and "Venomblack (Matt)".
Internal train routing
Internal cable routing is now standard on modern bikes. It is the cleanest, safest and, above all, the most attractive way to route cables. Since our kids' fully is in no way inferior to our adult bikes, we have also made improvements to the new Yuma and the cables now run inside the frame, ensuring a clean look and protecting them from external influences.
Frame Protection
Especially with youngsters, it can happen that the bike comes into contact with the ground or is treated roughly. We therefore place great importance on protecting the frame as well as possible. A newly developed down tube and chain stay protector is used, which can be easily replaced.
The Yuma also has an ISCG mount for mounting a bash guard or chain guide.
Facilities and prices
As usual, we offer our Yuma in one equipment variant. The head tube badge, the frame decal and the handles are configurable. In addition, our configurator offers the option for a tubeless kit from "milKit“ – including sealing milk, filling system and valves, which are already pre-assembled.
Saddle, seat post, crank, handlebar and stem still come from “1st Ride“, the specialist for kids bike parts.
We also make no compromises when it comes to the drive and braking system, and so we achieve SRAM GX1×11 Circuit and a SRAM Guide T Brake is used. The damper from Rockshox and the fork of Manitou round off the chassis.
Newmen delivers the very high quality and lightweight XA25 wheels. These wheels not only look good but are particularly impressive due to their stiffness and stability at a record-breaking weight. Traction for the small fully comes from the VEE Flow SNAP 2.4.
The new Yuma is available at a price of 2,199.00 € from 22.06.2021 can be ordered in our webshop. Prices outside the EU may vary.
Frame weight: 2.7 kg
Total weight: 12.7 kg
