from Moreno Valley, CA USA Date Reviewed: April 8, 2009 Strengths: No Kidding,Real Deal! Lightweight. Quality "adult" components = forgiveness and cuts slack for kids. Kidometry Design. 21 Speed not 6 or 7. Aluminum frame. Did I say 21 speed... Weaknesses: V-Brakes should be top of the line as the botom line is safety. They do the job but my expectations from Ibex now are beyondthe standard. These are better than others but Ibex is already beyond that. The 440 now has disc brakes..ohhhh! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Brians Head Trails Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $299.00 Purchased At: Ibex Similar Products Used: Did extensive research and no one comes close to Ibex. Even component by component Ibez is better. Bike Setup: Ibex 320, 20" wheels, used from age 6-9.

from Wyoming Date Reviewed: February 12, 2007 Strengths: A real mountain bike, just really small. Real, brand name componets. Better shifters and deraillerus than on some adult $400 bikes. Alumimun frame with replaceable derailleur hanger. Alloy rims. Quick release wheels front and rear. Great paint and graphics. Threadless headset. Nice seat. Well assembled from factory. Weaknesses: The fork is so-so, but there isn't a big market for 20 inch suspension forks. Much better than ones on a WalMart bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $299.00 Purchased At: ibexbikes.com Similar Products Used: None exist for this price. Bike Setup: Stock.

from Sunnyvale, CA Date Reviewed: October 3, 2005 Strengths: After looking for a good 20" kids hard tail MTB bike, finally decided to get Ibex 320K for my 6 yr old sun. We tried couple other bikes, but they either had cheap components, were too heavy or didn't fit my son. So, unless you want to build a custom bike, check this one. Ibex designers really made a bike that is for kids who want to ride off road. Imagine that you shrink adult MTB. Weaknesses: Bike does not come with kickstand and rear derailleur guard. Kids can be rough with bikes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $289.00 Purchased At: ibexbikes.com Similar Products Used: We tried couple bikes, ranked here: 1. Scott Racing Jr 20", sold at REI, high quality, has the same Grind fork as Ibex, Alivio derailleurs, 21 speed, only 25.5 lbs, but the flat handlebar is too far for kids hands. We tried to push the seat forward, put shorter stem, but wasn't enough. Also, no kickstand and derailleur guard. 2. Specialized Hotrock 20" - great looking in red, 26.3 lbs, average components, 6 speed. Probably the best choice at local bike shops. 3. Novara Kids MTB 20" - sold at REI, bellow average components, 6 speed, 27.5 lbs. 4. Raleigh Rowdy - sold at LBS. 6 speed ,bellow average components. This is a puzzle - they made aluminum kids bike that is 29.5 lbs, heavier than adult MTBs. Bike Setup: Stock, added alloy kickstand, bottle cage and bell ring.

from Renton, WA Date Reviewed: September 10, 2005 Strengths: As the other reviewers have stated, this is a REAL mt.bike, scaled down for kids. Our 5 yr. old is riding root and rock infested trails, doing some decent climbs, twisty sections, and LOVING IT! We have had a great time riding with him this summer. We adjusted the brake lever reach in a bit, so he can reach it more easily. We also loosened the front brake cable, after he launched himself over the bars on the first ride. (He probably was used to the relatively poor braking performance on his old bike, and grabbed them real hard.) Weaknesses: None. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Sun Top Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: Ibex Similar Products Used: Novara 20" wheel youth mt. bike.

from Lexington Date Reviewed: September 9, 2005 Strengths: Geometry, components, weight, looks Weaknesses: Triple up front can be confusing for some kids Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Buckskin at Cave Run Lake Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $289.00 Purchased At: ibexbikes.com Similar Products Used: Trek, Specialized, Giant, Gary Fisher Bike Setup: Stock, see ibexbikes.com. I keep the tire pressure really low so that my 6 year old doesn't bounce around so much on the trail and then pump them up for road/neighborhood riding.
