Press Release: New Prevelo Alpha Series Revamp
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, June 24, 2025 – Prevelo has unveiled a complete redesign of its
best-selling Alpha Series. Built for performance, tuned for versatility, and engineered with
uncompromising attention to detail, the third-generation of the Alpha Series (MkIII) gives young
riders one bike that performs seamlessly across varied terrain and riding conditions.
The freshly updated bikes include the Alpha Zero MkIII balance bike ($259); Alpha One MkIII
(14-inch, $489); Alpha Two MkIII (16-inch, $509); Alpha Three MkIII (20-inch, $759); Alpha Four
MkIII (24-inch, $799), and Alpha Five MkIII (26-inch, $859).
Reimagined for young riders who want more from every ride, the MkIII Alpha Series bikes
combine kid-focused design with high-performance features and all-purpose versatility. The
Alpha Three, Four, and Five are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes that provide confident,
low-effort braking on mixed surfaces. For young riders still developing coordination, this means
more predictable, responsive stopping power across pavement, gravel, and light trails.
The Alpha One and Two feature Prevelo’s patent-pending BALANCE-TEC system, a
balance-to-pedal conversion that doesn’t compromise pedaling performance and inspires
confidence as children learn to pedal. Parents can swap the bike between kick and pedal
modes in minutes, using only hex keys.
The redesigned bikes feature other significant performance upgrades, including:
● Sealed cartridge bearings throughout, improving performance, durability and longevity
● Double-wall, tubeless-capable rims for riders and parents who want to boost traction and
reduce punctures
● Multi-speed bikes feature clutch-style derailleurs for improved drivetrain performance
and reduction in frustrating chain drops
● Weight reduction across all models, despite performance upgrades, resulting in some of
the lightest, most capable bikes in their categories
“The new MkIII Alpha Series is the result of our kid-first design approach combined with a deep
focus on higher performance and greater versatility,” said Prevelo Founder Jacob Rheuban.
“These bikes are built for real-world riding across curbs, gravel, trails, parks, and long
neighborhood laps. The geometry and components give young riders confidence on mixed
surfaces. Every detail is tuned to create a bike that feels responsive, capable, and fun to ride
everywhere.
The MkIII Alpha bikes are available in three colors – blue, silver, and pink – and are available for
pre-order now at prevelo.com.
New Accessories From Prevelo
To complement the new Alpha bikes, Prevelo is also introducing the brand’s first top tube bag.
The zippered bag, $39, attaches via top tube bosses that are standard on all Prevelo Alpha
bikes.
The new accessory empowers young riders to carry some of their own supplies, and also
encourages fun and exploration but providing a way to pick up snacks, rocks, sticks, or other
trailside treasures.
Other new accessories include a new mini floor pump and a bike lock, which fits into the new
top tube bag. All accessories are available at prevelo.com.
