The last thing your kid wants to do is ride with an extra 5 pounds. Especially if they plan on riding uphill! They may be at the age that a 27.5" wheel bike is just too unwieldy coming off a 24" bike. A Maxwell 26 is just the bike you need! 120mm travel. Boost front/rear. NOTHING to modify because we’ve made it super light and easy to assemble right out of the box.
We've created the ultimate trail shredding machine with our Maxwell 26. Dominate the trails going both down and up with this amazing bike - the name Maxwell comes from Maxwell trail in Fort Collins, Colorado where we love to ride. It’s a super technical, steep and rocky trail but the reward down is so nice. It can be done on a hardtail, but it is so much more fun on a full suspension bike! If your local riding area requires a climb to get to the really good stuff, then the Maxwell 26 is your next bike.
Our Maxwell 26 starts right around 26 pounds in our ELITE level build with best in category components. That's right, just 26 pounds and the PRO AXS level build is even lighter! Attention to detail with top shelf level components include lightweight wheels, 85 gram ultralight rotors, an extended range 10-51 cassette and 152 mm direct-mount cranks with aluminum spindle typically found on much more expensive bikes. We’ve built the best bike with the best components so you can spend more time riding and less time pushing a heavy bike uphill.
Ride some days at the park but also want an all-arounder type of bike for big trail/enduro style rides where you still need a bike to climb well? Click the 130mm travel PIKE UPGRADE checkbox!
This is a fun, playful, super flickable bike for all types of mountain bike riding. The Maxwell 26 is built for next level riding with some key geometry features designed specifically for riders of young and old! The Maxwell 26 features a Horst link suspension design which is active under braking and very plush over both small bumps and bigger hits. Short yet stable 420mm chainstay length and a 1082mm wheelbase is the perfect 26" trail bike for riders coming off a 24" bike.
ALL level bike builds get our new lightweight 152mm Trailcraft Cycles aluminum spindle direct mount cranks with your choice of 26, 28, 30 or 32 tooth narrow-wide style chainring. Choose 26 or 28 tooth if you are riding steep hills and lung burning mountain climbs. Lower elevation levels or flat areas are fine with a 30 or 32 tooth chainring selection. Most adult bikes don't even offer this level of configuration out of the box!

Want to go a bit more custom or full custom on this build? Contact us! We are a small family business focused on building the best kids mountain bikes possible. We truly geek out on this stuff, just see our Instagram page for some of what we are doing as well as our custom builds page. We bring our frames in from Taiwan (un-assembled/not built) and we build each bike per order in Fort Collins, Colorado with US labor. Since we don't import "complete bike in box from Asia" like pretty much everyone else does, we maintain a high quality control from installation of headset, bottom bracket, and even putting the derailleur hanger on frames here in the US. You can be proud to tell your kids they have a unique bike which was truly built to order from the frame up!
Fits riders with a 26.5” stand-over height, or about 4'7”-5’2”
