[Press Release] – MEQUON, WI, April 1<\/span>5<\/span>, 2019 –\u00a0<\/span>Hayes <\/span>Performance<\/span> Systems\u2019 product development team set out to design a system for kids, using high-quality components. Plenty of Hayes employees are parents\u2026parents with kids who want to ride. Struggling with the lack of <\/span>performance<\/span>–<\/span>level components, this fueled the inspiration to create a line of products we\u2019re proud of. <\/span>We went full gas into developing a legit line of youth products, reflecting and sharing attributes, ride quality, and functionality normally reserved for adult riders, now optimized for kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

JUNIT <\/span>[<\/span>pronounced <\/span>jay:unit<\/span>]<\/span>components feature youth-sized 20\u201d and 24\u201d suspension, wheels, hydraulic brakes, and a unique handlebar\/grip system, specifically tailored for youth riders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

A key<\/span> component of the JUNIT system is <\/span>that <\/span>the Manitou Machete<\/span> 20\u201d and 24\u201d<\/span>suspension forks offer complete adult functionality and adjustability, yet specifically tuned for kids. Our team <\/span>was able to apply <\/span>our<\/span> extensive suspension expertise <\/span>and knowledge to create something truly <\/span>unique<\/span>. Finally, young riders have the option <\/span>of<\/span> either a 20\u201d or 24\u201d <\/span>fork<\/span> to <\/span>shred on<\/span> a\u00a0<\/span>lightweight, high-quality <\/span>Manitou <\/span>chassis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Another<\/span> component of the JUNIT system <\/span>is<\/span> the new SUNringl\u00e9 D\u00fcroc wheels. Offered in both 20\u201d and 24\u201d, JUNIT D\u00fcroc are high-quality, tubeless ready wheels for kids.<\/span>Our<\/span> wheel <\/span>engineers<\/span> applied <\/span>their<\/span> experience <\/span>in <\/span>designing rim <\/span>profiles, materials<\/span>, as well as applying SUNringl\u00e9 Tubeless Ready (STR)<\/span> technology yielding a premium youth wheel system.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Building off our award-winning <\/span>Dominion<\/span> A4 hydraulic brake, our product <\/span>development team\u00a0<\/span>set out to design a brake system specifically for <\/span>any rider with smaller hands<\/span>. \u00a0<\/span>Dominion<\/span> SFL (Short Finger Lever) <\/span>maintains all the power and feel of our proven A4<\/span> design<\/span>,<\/span> fitted with a <\/span>specifically smaller designed and narrower brake lever\u00a0<\/span>optimized for small hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JUNIT ProTaper MTB handlebar and grip is the final part of this system. Engineering began by researching anthropometric data from a NASA database. We determined the average hand size of a 6-10 year old which set the team into motion. Normally, grip diameter is a result of adding material to a standard handlebar size. For the JUNIT ProTaper handlebar system, we flipped the script. We began by determining the ideal grip diameter and worked inward. The result is a handlebar and grip with a 23mm outside diameter that\u2019s ideal for a smaller ergonomic profile. The JUNIT ProTaper handlebar and grip are specifically designed to be used together.<\/p>\n
