With its choice of 3 robust aluminium frame and wheelset sizes, 7-speed gears, and fast-rolling hybrid tyres, the Saruna is just as at home on smooth paths and rugged trails. Whether you child is the right size for the 20", 24" or 26" version of this bike... get ready to watch your child's confidence soar as they tackle new adventures on this versatile ride!

The Carrera Saruna: Built for Endless Adventures

When it comes to kids' bikes, durability is key. That's why the Carrera Saruna features a robust aluminium frame that can withstand the bumps and scrapes of childhood adventures. But this bike isn't just tough - it's also lightweight... making it easy for young riders to handle and control. Whether they're navigating winding park paths or tackling off-road trails, the Saruna's agile frame will help them feel confident and in command.

One of the standout features of the Carrera Saruna is its 7-speed gearing system. With Shimano Revoshift shifters at their fingertips, your child will be able to easily click through the gears to find the perfect ratio for any terrain. Climbing hills suddenly becomes a breeze, while cruising on the flat feels effortless. Learning to use gears is an essential cycling skill, and the Saruna's intuitive shifters make it easy and fun for little hands. And on the larger wheel sized versions of the Saruna for older kids there is also a front shifter too meaning even more gears.

Safe Stopping with Dependable V-Brakes

When it comes to kids' bikes, reliable brakes are non-negotiable. The Carrera Saruna comes equipped with dependable V-brakes that deliver impressive stopping power in all conditions. Whether your child is whizzing a steep descent or needs to stop suddenly, they can trust the Saruna's brakes to bring them to a safe, controlled stop. And with lightweight aluminium brake levers that are easy for small hands to reach and pull, your child will feel confident and in control every time they ride.

The Carrera Saruna's fast-rolling hybrid tyres are the secret weapon that makes this bike so versatile. With a tread pattern that's designed to grip on loose surfaces while still rolling smoothly on tarmac, these tyres can handle anything from park paths to forest trails. The added volume of air in these tyres also helps to absorb bumps and vibrations, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable ride for your child. Say goodbye to jarring potholes and hello to smooth, enjoyable rides.

Customise the Fit as They Grow

Kids grow quickly, but the Carrera Saruna is designed to grow with them. With an adjustable seatpost and brake levers, you can easily customise the fit of this bike as your child gets taller and their riding style evolves. No more worrying about buying a new bike every year—the Saruna will be their trusty companion for many adventures to come. And with a junior-specific saddle that's designed for maximum comfort, your child will be able to ride for longer without getting sore or fatigued.

Reviews:

We've put the Carrera Saruna through our thorough evaluation process, and we have to say - we're impressed! This bike strikes the perfect balance between durability and agility, making it an ideal choice for young riders who are ready to take their cycling to the next level. The lightweight aluminium frame is tough enough to withstand plenty of abuse, but it's also easy for kids to handle and control. And with 7-speed gears and dependable V-brakes, the Saruna has all the features your child needs to tackle any terrain with confidence.

One of the things we love most about the Saruna is how customisable it is. With an adjustable seatpost and brake levers, you can easily tweak the fit as your child grows, ensuring that they always have a comfortable, efficient ride. And the junior-specific saddle is a nice touch—it's designed to keep kids comfortable on longer rides, so they can explore to their heart's content.

Of course, while no bike is perfect the Saruna does have a few areas where it could be improved... We'd love to see a wider range of colour options, for example - kids like to express their personality through their bike, and more choices would be welcome. And while the Saruna is capable of tackling rough terrain, it's not quite as rugged as some dedicated mountain bikes. If your child is a serious off-road enthusiast, they may eventually outgrow this bike's capabilities.

Overall we think the Carrera Saruna is a fantastic choice for kids aged 6-11 who are ready to take their riding to the next level. It's versatile enough to handle any adventure, durable enough to withstand plenty of use (and abuse!), and customisable enough to grow with your child over time. If you're looking for a bike that will inspire a lifelong love of cycling, the Saruna is definitely worth considering.
