AMULET 12 Tomcat kids bike raspberry pearl/silver

Description

AMULET 12 Tomcat kids’ bike raspberry pearl/silver is a children’s urban/leisure bike with 12" wheels designed for the very first pedaling attempts and first independent rides. In terms of design, it’s a lightweight hardtail without suspension with a simple 1x1 drivetrain, where the main focus is low weight and easy handling at low speeds. In both equipment and concept, it falls into the category of technically well-thought-out kids’ bikes, where grams and ergonomics matter—not a wide gear range.

Frame and geometry

The foundation is the AMULET 12" ALLOY SG5 frame made from an aluminum alloy, complemented by a rigid AMULET 12" ALLOY SG5 fork from the same material. The manufacturer states an ergonomic SG5 geometry with a low standover, which on a kids’ bike typically means easier mounting and a more stable stance when starting off and stopping. The size is designed as 12", i.e., for the smallest riders, where a short rear end and a low center of gravity are key rather than a race-oriented position. The headset is fitted with a NECO component.

Components

The drivetrain is built as a 1x1 with no shifting: a front 28T chainring, a rear cassette (sprocket) 16T, a KMC chain, and RACELIGHT ALLOY cranks with a length of 89 mm; the bottom bracket is NECO B906. The braking system combines a front PROMAX TX122 rim brake (ALLOY V BRAKE) and a rear coaster brake (COASTER BRAKE), operated via AMULET PLASTIC brake levers. The wheels use ALLOY 16H rims with steel spokes; the hubs are RACELIGHT ALLOY up front and RACELIGHT STEEL at the rear (with an integrated coaster brake). Tires are WANDA 12", and the cockpit is aluminum: RACELIGHT ALLOY 480 mm handlebars and a RACELIGHT ALLOY WITH PAD stem; the seatpost measures ALLOY 27,2 × 160 mm and the saddle is VL-5086.

Ride characteristics

The combination of an aluminum frame and a rigid aluminum fork keeps the weight low and reduces the “spongy” feel typical of heavier kids’ bikes, which is most noticeable when setting off and when handling the bike. The simple 28/16 gearing eliminates the need to shift and lets the child focus on cadence and balance, which is more practical for first rides than a wide gear range. The front V-brake provides direct modulation on dry surfaces, while the rear coaster brake makes braking more intuitive at low speeds and when starting off. The bike is supplied with balance wheels, which can be used to bridge the transition between scooting, first pedal strokes, and independent riding.

Who it’s for

AMULET 12 Tomcat is intended for the smallest riders who are moving to their first pedal bike and need low weight, a low standover, and simple, no-shift operation. Typical use is flat terrain and gentle rolling sections on bike paths, in the park, and around home—i.e., “riding with kids” in a basic skills-learning mode. Compared with heavier children’s models with a steel frame, it offers easier handling and more natural control when starting and stopping.
