Christmas kids' bikes deals: Early Rider, Specialized, Cannondale and more

Norco Storm 4.3 24in: was $609 now $304.94 at Jenson USA

This was discounted to $399 over Black Friday and now there's nearly an extra $100 dollars off! Now is the time to scoop up a 50% discount on this singletrack and fireroad-ready shredder from Norco.

Cannondale Quick 20: was $435 now $347.93 at REI

Made from Cannondale's SmartForm C3 alloy, the Quick 20 is not not only fast, as the name suggests, but rugged too. With seven gears and a twist shifter, 1.5in tyres on its 20in wheels and grips, brake levers, saddle and cranks designed specifically for little cyclists, it's a smart choice, especially with this discount. It's the same discount as we saw over Black Friday, so we don't expect any further drops.

Stolen Agent 12in BMX: was $390 now $195 at Wiggle

This mini-freestyle BMX will ensure young riders hit the trail or the skatepark in style. Rolling on 12in wheels and with a super-tough Hi-Ten frame, it is virtually kid proof and is designed for rough handling. Now with 50% off it might just be recession proof too...

Cleary Hedgehog 16: was $390 now $234 at Mike's Bikes

It comes in Desert Green as well as Punk Rock Pink but it's selling out fast at this price so you'll need to be quick if you're not 'punk' enough... Apart from that, the Hedgehog is perfect as a first proper bike: with 16in wheels it's good for up to age five, is made from quality steel so will serve more than just one young owner. This is the same 40% discount as as the initial Black Friday deal. 

Cannondale Trail 12: was $260 now $207.93 at REI

It's never too soon to start riding a crazily painted Cannondale, right? But the rest of the Trail 12 is eminently sensible: rear coaster brake, singlespeed, kid-sized grips, saddle and cranks and optional training wheels. At 20% off it might be sensible to snap one up.

Vitus 24+ Kids' Bike: was £409.99 now £299.99 at Wiggle

A super stable, lightweight and manoeuvrable bike for exploring the woods and trails with confidence. Made from 6061 alloy with a seven-speed Shimano drivetrain, it's a well specced machine at an incredible price with this discount. (And it has very cool tanwall tyres.) Sadly, the price has gone up £30 since Black Friday, so if you're interested, grab it before it goes up any further!

Cannondale Cujo 24+: was £500 now £399 at Cyclestore

With 24in wheels and suitable for age 10+, the Cujo is made from Cannondale's SmartForm C3 alloy, has an eight-speed drivetrain, Tektro mechanical disc brakes and rolls on chunky 2.6in Kenda tyres. It's tough, fun and hard to resist at this discount.

Specialized Jett 20: was £389 now £309 at Leisure Lakes

A cost effective way to get your kid on the Big S, the Jett 20 is 100% on the money in terms of its practical, lightweight rim brake spec - and with 20% off... well, you do the math.

Cube Acid 200 Disc 20w 2022: was £509.00 now £399.00 at Tredz

The Cube Acid 200 Disc 20w is aimed at ages 7-10 with its 20in wheels - and is waiting for said kids to aim it at the toughest terrain they can find. It has a super-wide 13-34 seven-speed cassette, hydraulic disc brakes and a Cube aluminium bar and stem. The price has dropped again and now you can save over £100 

BMC Twostroke AL 20in: was £739 now £589 at Sigma Sports

For 5 to 8-year-olds who want to rule the roost, this high-end aluminium BMC with 20in wheels has a 1x8 SRAM drivetrain, 2.4in Kenda tyres and hydraulic disc brakes. Normally you might baulk at spending over £700 on the kids, but with 20% off... it's worth it to see them riding the most awesome bike in town.

Hoy Bonaly 16in: was £350 now £279 at Evans Cycles

Track superstar Chris Hoy's brand has designed the Bonaly to be light, fast and fun. Everything is scaled down for smaller riders including brake levers, cranks and even the amount of padding in the saddle. A great way to get your little 'un off to a great start in cycling.

Vitus Smoothy balance bike: was £89.99 now £59.99 at Wiggle

This has to the be the world's coolest balance bike - it's made from magnesium! The slot that looks like a wind tunnel-derived airflow feature is in fact a carry handle. Your three-year old sadly won't be able to compete in UCI races, however, because it weighs just 3.2kg.
