Kenny Junior Range – Why Kids Need Proper MTB Clothing
When it comes to mountain biking, the right gear is crucial for kids. Comfort, safety, and durability keep young riders happy and confident. Kenny, known for quality biking apparel, has launched mountain bike clothing for kids. But how does it perform in real-world conditions? We put their gear to the test.
Since 1981, Kenny has proudly upheld its “Made in France” heritage, designing and developing every piece in the heart of Amiens. With a production unit located right next to their design studio, the brand brings ideas to life in record time—crafting prototypes, creating unique designs and prints, and producing high-performance gear for motocross and mountain biking enthusiasts.
Kenny Junior Range – Features
Kenny now brings their top-tier gear to junior riders, packing in the same quality, protection, and tech found in the adult range. Their collection for young shredders is seriously impressive—think jerseys, pants, gloves, goggles, and even body armour. In short, everything your kid needs to gear up and hit the trails with confidence and style.

Performance & Comfort
On the trail, comfort is everything. The Kenny jerseys and shorts are soft, flexible, and move well with the body—no stiff or scratchy fabrics here. They also do a great job with temperature control: breathable enough for hot summer days but still protective on cooler rides. This kid didn’t complain once about itching or chafing, which says a lot!

Design & Style
Let’s be honest—if kids don’t like the look, they won’t wear it. Luckily, Kenny has nailed the style factor. The jerseys have cool graphics and come in vibrant colors, which our little rider loved. The bright colors also mean better visibility, which makes me feel a bit safer when we’re out near roads or busy trails.
Durability & Quality
Kids are tough on clothes, and biking is even tougher. After multiple rides (and a few spills), the Kenny gear still looks great. The stitching held up, the zippers didn’t snag, and even after a couple of washes, the colors stayed bright. No loose threads or stretched-out fabrics so far.
Value for Money
Kennys sits in the mid-high price range—definitely not the cheapest, but you’re paying for quality that lasts. When you consider how fast kids grow, durability matters because these items can easily be passed down to a younger sibling.
If your kid is hitting the trails regularly, the Kenny Junior range of mountain bike clothing is a solid investment.
Conclusions
If your child is getting serious about biking, the Kenny Junior mountain bike gear is a fantastic choice. It’s durable, stylish, and designed with both safety and fun in mind. Whether they’re just starting out or already zipping down trails, this gear will keep up with them. It’s comfy, durable, and looks great, which means fewer battles getting them dressed for a ride. We’d recommend it for active kids aged 6+ who are starting to ride more seriously.
