A kids' road bike with no compromises? Meet the Beany ZEN!

14.07.2026

When people hear the term “kids’ bike,” most parents picture a mountain bike, gentle terrain, a bike path, and family outings in the surrounding area. But some kids are drawn to something else. Instead of forest trails, they’re drawn to the road. They want to set out with their parents on a road ride together and gradually gain their first experiences on asphalt. The Beany ZEN is designed just for them. It’s a road bike designed to make those first kilometers on the road easier for kids and open the door to the world of road cycling.

A kids' road bike with no compromises? Meet the Beany ZEN!

THE UNICORN IN THE WORLD OF CHILDREN'S BIKES

Road cycling took a long time to find its place in the world of children. Manufacturers focused mainly on mountain and hybrid bikes, and young road cyclists often didn’t have many options. They had to settle for scaled-down versions of adult bikes or compromises that didn’t really benefit their riding.

At Beany, we decided there had to be a better way. And so the Beany ZEN was born—the first children’s road bike in our lineup and a bike the market had long been missing.

Just as with all our models, we started from scratch with the ZEN. We didn’t simply scale down an adult bike; instead, we designed every detail of the bike to match a child’s anatomy.

Children have different proportions, different strength levels, and different demands when it comes to handling a bike than adults do. What works on a road bike for an adult racer may not work for a child. That’s exactly why we pay so much attention to the geometry, handling, and ergonomics of every model.

The result is a bike that is lightweight, fast, comfortable, safe, and—most importantly—fits children perfectly.

COMPONENTS THAT'LL KEEP YOU GOING IN THE PELOTON AND ON THE CLIMBS

Junior bikes have their own unique characteristics, and this is especially true in road cycling. That’s why we’ve equipped the ZEN with components that are safe and easy for children to handle.

At the heart of the Beany ZEN is a super-lightweight 6061 aluminum frame with triple-butted tubes, which helps kids tackle hills and longer routes without unnecessary effort. Shimano Sora 9-speed shifting ensures smooth gear changes, while Tektro mechanical disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in any weather. The bike also features a range of Solely.JR components, which we at Beany develop in-house specifically for children and juniors.

Every detail has a single goal: to ensure that children feel confident and safe on their bikes and can enjoy the ride to the fullest.

A PARTNER FOR TRAINING AND YOUR FIRST RACES

The Beany ZEN is a reliable companion for your first training kilometers, weekend rides, and first racing experiences.

To support this important period of growth and athletic ambition, we offer the ZEN series in two versions:

BEANY ZEN 26

Ideal for riders between 120 and 140 cm tall. Weighing just 9.3 kg, it is one of the lightest in its category.

BEANY ZEN 700

For juniors between 140 and 160 cm tall. It weighs just 9.9 kg and offers everything a young road cyclist needs for both training and longer rides.

Road cycling isn’t just about speed. It’s about rhythm, focus, pushing your limits, and the joy of movement. It’s about that feeling when another kilometer and another adventure await around every corner.

And that’s exactly what Beany ZEN offers. Because sometimes all it takes is one great ride to turn an ordinary bike ride into a lifelong passion.
