Dviratis 24 SCOTT CONTRAIL 400 zesty yellow

Scott CONTRAIL 400 – a light 24-inch kids’ bike for children of roughly 7–9 years, around 135–145 cm tall. The alloy frame, simple 1x7 drivetrain and V-brake brakes suit everyday riding, outings and active leisure.

Key features

The bike weighs about 8.9 kg, so it is easier for a child to handle, get moving and carry. The 24-inch wheels and a maximum permitted load of up to 70 kg are matched to a growing young rider.

Construction and design

The Scott CONTRAIL 400 has an aluminium frame and a rigid aluminium fork without suspension. This keeps the weight down and the handling direct on tarmac, cycle paths and firmer gravel roads.

The bike uses a Leadtec handlebar and stem and Formula front and rear hubs. Kenda Booster 24 x 1.75 tyres give a good balance between rolling speed and grip in a range of everyday riding conditions.

Main functions

The 1x7 drivetrain is simple and easy for a child to understand. The Shimano Tourney RD-TY300 rear derailleur works with a Shimano RevoShift SL-RV300 twist shifter, so gears can be changed without taking a hand off the bar.

At the front there is a single 30-tooth Prowheel chainring, at the rear a Shimano CS-HG200 12–32T cassette. This gearing allows a suitable ratio both on flat roads and on smaller climbs.

Use and compatibility

The Scott CONTRAIL 400 is intended for children of about 135–145 cm and usually suits the 7–9 year age group. The exact fit should be judged by the child’s height, leg length and riding experience.

The bike suits everyday trips, rides in the park, cycle paths and easier unpaved roads. The rigid fork and uncomplicated drivetrain reduce maintenance and make the bike easier to use.

Additional features

Braking is handled by Tektro V-brake rim brakes. It is a simple, easy-to-maintain system that lets a child modulate braking force in a controlled way.

The KMC Z7 chain is made for a 7-speed drivetrain and complements the Shimano gearing components. A single front chainring also means the child does not have to worry about front shifting.

Summary

The Scott CONTRAIL 400 is for children moving up to a larger 24-inch bike who want to ride more independently. Its low weight, simple 1x7 Shimano drivetrain, dependable V-brake brakes and aluminium construction suit active everyday use.
