Model name Approx min age Min inside leg Max inside leg Approx min height Luath 24 8+ 59cm 69cm 130cm Luath 26 9+ 65cm 75cm 138cm Luath 700 Small 11+ 69cm 80cm 148cm Luath 700 Large 13+ 76cm 86cm 158cm How to measure height:
- Ask your child to remove their shoes and stand straight, feet flat on the floor with their back against a wall.
- Place a book horizontal over their head so that it touches the wall, then mark with a pencil where the bottom of the book touches the wall.
- While they are in position place a book between their legs and slide it up the wall to gently meet their crotch.
- Mark the point where the top of the book touches the wall with a pencil.
- Measure the distance of the height and inside leg measurements from the floor and make a note of each. Use the table on the left to work out which bike is the correct fit.

Race ready, lightweight frame and fork
The Luath has a racing pedigree and is designed to go fast. The key to the Luath’s speed is all down to its lightweight but stiff aluminium frame and the responsive tracking of the lightweight carbon-fibre fork.
-
Reassuringly powerful braking
Being fast is all about good brakes. It sounds odd, but it’s true! To have confidence when riding to school, touring, churning up gravel or knocking out laps at a cyclo-cross race you need to know you can scrub off speed and stop when you want to. The Luath features Tektro cable operated disc brakes, paired with easy reach levers and Islabikes’ custom shape dropped handlebar for confidence inspiring braking.
-
Huge tyre clearance for all types of weather and terrain
Having plenty of frame and fork clearance gives you lots of options when it comes to tyres. The Luath features a choice of tyres at point of purchase from a road, gravel or cyclo-cross tyre. Plenty of clearance also means when the ground turns to slop you’ll keep on rolling with no clogging up.
-
Confidence and control from custom shallow drop ‘bars
Drop bar bikes are notoriously awkward for people with small hands. Overly large drops which place the hand too far from the brake levers can make riding a bit scary. On the Luaths we fit custom shaped, narrow drop ‘bars to give easy access to brake levers for those with small hands, giving unparalleled confidence and control.

Simple gearing is better (and lighter!)
1 x drivetrains have proven themselves to be the way forward in recent years, keeping transmission simple and more importantly lightweight. We’ve paired our own super narrow Q-factor, 30mm axle cranks with our own narrow-wide chainring to keep things light and simple up front with an 11-34t cassette and Shimano Claris mech at the rear. Bombproof performance and chain retention.

A versatile performer
The Luath can be ridden as a sleek road bike, a tough cyclo-cross performer or you can use it as a gravel bike. Talk to a customer service advisor to select the best tyre options for you and we'll fit them before your bike is dispatched.

The benefits of big wheels
One of the many unique features of an Islabike is that we always design bikes with the biggest wheels possible for its intended rider. For example, while a child of a certain size would fit bikes from other brands that use 16in wheels, that same rider might fit an Islabike that uses 20in wheels. But why is that such a benefit? And how do we achieve it?
