Prevelo Zulu Five Kids 26" Mountain Bike Review

Sep 2024 · Natalie Martins

The Prevelo Zulu Five is the perfect 26 inch "bridge bike" before a small Adult MTB. Is it a good fit for YOUR rider? Read our review!

Highs
  • Lighter frame (3 lbs less than previous model)

  • Steep seat tube angle (74°) for efficient climbing

  • Slack head tube angle (66°) for downhill confidence

  • Wide gear range 11-48t cassette

  • Tubeless-ready rims pre-taped

  • Dropper post compatible with stealth routing

  • Hydraulic disc brakes Tektro M281

Lows
  • Sizing is similar to 24" bikes, limited growth for taller riders

  • 75mm dropper may be short for taller riders

  • Chainstay lacks protection, shows wear

  • Loud rear hub

  • Pedals have plastic cleats, upgrade recommended

  • Heir metal pedals (optional) are smaller than stock
