Pre-Order Dates

We do not open pre-orders for a shipment until we have a good amount of confidence in the ship date.  That being said, the estimated delivery dates listed on our website are based on the best information that we have at the moment.  While we cannot control every variable, we pledge to be honest and transparent about lead times.

- The ship dates that are on the website represent our honest estimate of the date that the bikes will ship on.

- Where information is imprecise (for example, referencing a month or quarter), it is because there are unpredictable factors that make it so we cannot credibly be more precise.

- We will work tirelessly to keep the bikes on schedule. It's part of our company culture to be very involved in our supply chain and to be proactive about addressing issues that could turn into delays.

- If something happens that changes the ship date we will communicate quickly and clearly about the delay.

- You can cancel your pre-order any time before your bike ships.


Pre-date changes

Your pre-order date will be included in your order confirmation. If we learn something that changes that date, we will contact you. You might see the pre-order date change on the website. There are a variety of things that could cause a change in the pre-order date including shipping delays, back logs, or moving through different batches. Just because the date on the website changes, does not mean that the date of a pre-order already placed has changed.  Again, if you place a pre-order and the estimated delivery date changes, we will inform you.


Pre-order payment policy

Your credit card will be charged immediately when you place your pre-order.  Your pre-order is cancelable and fully refundable. If you need to cancel a pre-order contact us and we'll take care of it!

Zulu Standard vs Zulu Limited

Curious about the differences between the Standard and Limited versions? They are both awesome bikes and you won't go wrong with either one. The Limited version adds some carbon HEIR parts, Shimano XT drivetrain and Shimano XT brakes. Here's a detailed breakdown of the differences.

  Standard Limited
Brakes Tektro Hydraulic Disc Shimano XT 8100 Hydraulic Disc
Derailleur Microshift Advent X AM V2 Shimano XT M8100 12 speed
Shifter 10 speed Microshift Advent X Pro Shimano XT M8100 12 speed
Freewheel / Cassette 10 speed 11-48t Advent X G-Series 12 speed 10-51t Shimano XT CS-M8100
Crank HEIR Direct Mount 2-piece with Alloy Spindle HEIR CARBON 2-piece with 30mm Alloy Spindle
Handlebar HEIR Lightweight Aluminum HEIR Darkbar CARBON

Features

  • Kid Optimized Crank

    Prevelo crank lengths are custom sized for each size bike to make sure little riders have optimum pedal ergonomics. And they have ultra-narrow Q-factors to match the narrow hips of young cyclists. If that sounds like technical mumbo jumbo, here's the point - Prevelo cranks will help make small riders more comfortable and efficient on their bike.

  • Confidence Inspiring Trail Geometry

    The Zulu Four features Prevelo's signature confidence inspiring geometry. Prevelo geometry utilizes a low bottom bracket that lowers the center of gravity of the bike and rider, making for a more agile and confident ride. The slack front end makes the bike forgiving to young trail riders experimenting with tough terrain.

  • Lightweight Wide Range Drivetrain

    Microshift's Advent X AM Clutch Rear Derailleur paired with their ultra-light 10-speed G-Series 11-48T cassette, and easy-to-use trigger shifters gives progressing riders plenty of gear range to tackle a variety of trails. UDH compatible frame works with a wide range of current and future drivetrains.

  • prevelo zulu four fork

    Air Suspension Fork

    The RST First Fork helps keep the rider comfortable and in control. With adjustable air pressure, the fork can be easily tuned to individual rider weight. Adjustable rebound damping helps you further tune the fork for your local terrain and riding style. This fork also features a lock-on function to eliminate any unwanted movement on long climbs.

  • heir tubeless wheels

    Lightweight Tubeless Ready Heir Wheels

    Wrapped with Kenda Booster Pro tires, the HEIR wheels can be easily set up tubeless so you can reduce flats, improve traction, and shave another ~300 grams of weight. The sealed cartridge thru-axle hubs make these wheels some of the fastest and most reliable wheels found on any bike. The quick-engagement rear hub sounds awesome and helps riders navigate tricky terrain.

  • prevelo zulu pivotal saddle

    Pivotal Saddle

    The Pivotal system lowers the stack height of the seat, resulting in a 30mm lower seat. This helps get small riders on big wheels. This system also helps reduce weight and increase durability.

What the Press Says about the Zulu Four

Best Kids Mountain Bike Upgrade

I have an extremely petite 10-year-old, and I am shocked by how hard she's charging on this thing.

Wired

2022 Editors Choice

My son was empowered riding the ZULU, and now he could climb the steep trails at our local single track and mountain bike for real. Our rides have gotten longer and more adventurous, and ZULU has taken all the slams with grace and little scuffs. I highly recommend the Prevelo ZULU for anyone looking for a kids bike that will foster a love of mountain biking and be solid to pass down for many kids’ uses

Bike Rumor

This bike is an absolute hard charging 24 inch hardtail!

The Bike Dads

Exceptional - 5 Stars

From bombing down more advanced single-track to getting playful at your local bike park, the Prevelo Zulu Four is the perfect noble steed for your little grom. With confidence-building geometry, the Zulu will quickly progress your young rider from hesitating on obstacles to charging through them. For those young riders who are all about the downhill, yet need a low granny gear to help power up the uphills, the Zulu is the perfect 24″ mountain bike for the job.

Two Wheeling Tots

Prevelo makes my favorite bikes for kids and small riders. The quality of these bikes and their components is higher than many of the adult bikes I receive for review on the channel.

Hardtail Party

The Zulu is one of the most confidence inspiring hardtail trail bikes for kids out there.

Haven Outdoors

Best Kids Gear for Summer Adventures

This fully-featured mountain bike has all of the pieces to make the intimidating (for kids and parents) transition from kiddo cyclist to kiddo mountain biker.

Outside

Our experience with the Prevelo Zulu Four has been amazing.

If you are after an extremely high quality, lightweight and no nonsense kids bike developed in the US, I would look no further than Prevelo.
