PREPARE FOR A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURE

THE LAUNCHPAD 26" BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN KIDS' AND ADULT-SIZED BICYCLES, PROVIDING FEATURES, STYLE, AND THE LOW-MAINTENANCE PERSPECTIVE THAT CAN HANDLE WHAT RIDER'S THROW ITS WAY.

The Launchpad 26” is perfect for those tween riders, aged 10+ who are independent and ready for adventure, but still need a bit more time before stepping up to a full-size adult bike. From suburban rides with long inclines and wide bike paths to paved trails and rugged hills, the Launchpad delivers the quality, simplicity, style, and low-maintenance promise that defines the Priority Bicycles experience.

LAUNCHPAD FEATURES

The Launchpad 26” bicycle is designed with versatility in mind, accommodating advancing skills and fitting riders within a broad size range. It excels on varied terrain, ensuring performance in diverse riding conditions. We’ve put in the effort to guarantee that the Launchpad meets these challenges while remaining low maintenance, long-lasting, and a great value. Riders can enjoy the Launchpad as they grow in size and strength before transitioning to an adult-sized bicycle. With its high-quality frame and components, we envision the Launchpad lasting beyond just one rider—making it a perfect choice for family and friends to share.

RUST/GREASE-FREE BELT DRIVE

Chains are the # 1 issue on bicycles. They get dirty, fall off, and they're at a perfect height for tweens to get grease on their favorite pants. Our rust-free and grease-free Gates Belt is cleaner, smoother, and doesn’t require maintenance. Also, it won’t snap off or break under the weight of a rider.

3-Speed Rear Hub

This is the same industry-leading Shimano hub that's featured on our adult models. The 3-speed internally geared hub carries enough range to get around the neighborhood, in a cleaner, more intuitive to shift, ultra low-maintenance package.

Adjustable Quill Stem

The Launchpad can grow with your ever growing tween/teen rider. The classic lines and tried and true quill stem design easily raises and lowers for comfort across a wide range of ages and sizes.

Stop on a Dime - Dual Handbrakes

Dual handbrake levers connected to reliable, intuitive, and smooth stopping V-brakes allow for a comfortable, confident ride.

Durability & Rust-Fighting

Bikes get left on lawns with sprinklers, tossed in the back of cars, dropped, and any number of other things that happen. The lightweight aluminum frame won’t rust, neither will the alloy wheels and stainless steel spokes. It’s a quality bike built to last long enough for sharing with siblings and friends.

Puncture-Resistant Tires

It’s an awesome feeling when your kids are ready to ride with—and without— you. But road debris and sharp stones on bike paths can be a real bummer. Our puncture-resistant multi-terrain tires help protect against unwanted flats.

Mid-Step Frame

The mid-step frame design helps all riders easily mount and dismount the bicycle with an overall geometry that will accommodate the rider as they grow. This allows for much more flexibility over time.

BY THE NUMBERS

Kick off your adventure with the Launchpad 26” for a safe and comfortable ride filled with style and confidence. Designed in one size, the Launchpad can grow with you, ensuring a perfect fit as your skills and strength develop. While height and age range are important, the recommended leg inseam is the key factor in choosing the ideal fit.
