Strengths: Easy to adjust, maintain; good for trail and pavement; fast; durable; designed to crash like kids will; parts are standard.Weaknesses: Doesn't magically turn into an adult size bike when the kid grows to 5'10"Bottom Line: I bought a 2006 for my son when he was eight. He rode as much as 30 or 40 mile rides with it on pavement and dirt roads. He crashed it a couple of times and there wasn't much damage. We never even had to get a professional tune up - just a bit of adjusting and wrenching here and there and the odd inner tube. He loved it so much that he was tearfully upset when he outgrew it. Now it has a new 8 year old owner, who is deeply in bikey love with it and who promptly took it and his parents out for a 15 mile ride because he could. The gearing is great for most suburban terrain and low gears crank right up the hills. Light but strong, it takes a beating that kids can give but has some neat features - like the derailleur guard - to keep it intact. Comfortable for moderate distances, too.

Strengths: nice feel to bike good parts specWeaknesses: poor suspension fork , and wimpy grips heavy compared to his fisher 20 precaliber,Bottom Line: My son has put a few hundred off road miles on his mt 240 in the last month since he has got it he adapted will to this bike it is more comfortable for him then his fisher precaliber 20. I paid extra for the mt240 overer the 220 for better shifting better fork and better overall parts spec well worth the extra $50

Strengths: GearsWeaknesses: Derailer, grips, chain guardsBottom Line: I bought the MT220's for my 9-year old twins, one boy and one girl. Within the first month both derailers had come off and needed to be replaced. In addition, the handle grips were in need of replacement. Now both bikes have lost their chain guards. We've also had problems with tubes and brakes. By far, the worst Trek we have ever owned, I would not recommend it.

Strengths: Nice frame, and adjustabilityWeaknesses: Would love to see a decent fork on a kids bike!Bottom Line: Upgraded my son to this bike last year after riding a 20" wheeled Gary Fisher for a year. We swapped on some Kenda Small Block Eight tires for less resistance on hardpack and blacktop. He rode this bike in his first 15 mile charity road ride (Iron Tour) and put 30 miles on in one day in Jim Thorpe on the the Switchback and Lehigh Gorge trails. The upgraded freehub with a 34 tooth big cog gave him confidence on the hills, but he rarely uses it any more. I would reccomend that inexpensive upgrade to anyone who rides in hilly areas to help their kids learn to use their gears to their advantage. He used to hate hills but now sees them as a challenge and feels good when he tackles a tough one. The only other upgrade I would make to this bike would be a better fork, but I can't find one for a 24" wheel and threaded headset. I would highly reccomend this bike to anyone looking to start their child out on a quality montain bike.

Strengths: Trek quality. Was probably more bike than my eight year old needed, but I wanted her to have a sweet Trek ride like me. Designed to grow with the child. Put together well and looks great.Weaknesses: For the price paid, I would have like to see quick connects all around. Can't take anything loose without tools. Shifters are a little stiff for my eight year old. Maybe triggers would have been easier for her. Cannot easily get on my carrier in truck.Bottom Line: I feel like Trek has put a good bike out with this one. No harder than my kid rides, this bike is more than she needs. Looks good and rides good. With a couple of upgrades, I will be as happy as my daughter with it.

Strengths: It is very strong and durable.Weaknesses: The bike rattles a lot when going downhill fast.Bottom Line: It is a very good bike for the beginner and / or the intermediate rider. I have had it for 3 or more years and I have had no major problems. The only problem I have had was the gears becoming sticky, but proper maintenance will solve that small inconvenience. My overall rating of this bike is great.

Strengths: Overall a great beginner bike. Small frame size with 24" wheels provides the best combination for a 10 y.o. 51" tall kid. Strong frame and highend components.Weaknesses: Rear derailer mount is a bit weak. The rear derailer twisted back when a stump was run over. This was easily fixed but now twists back with ever increasing ease. SRAM grip shifters would be nice to upgrade.Bottom Line: Excellent choice for a kid looking for a quality bike but cannot handle a 26" wheel. Nice light bike with an excellent very low gear.

Strengths: Bulletproof, very fit specific, excellent stsrter bikeWeaknesses: A litle on the heavy side for kidsBottom Line: MY kid has been stompin this bike since day 1 and not the first mechanical problem yet. Stands up well to his constant airing it out over anything he can find. This bike is burly and well built compared to the hotrock and some of the other starter bikes.
