Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$240.00
Purchased At:
Revolution
Strengths:
Good design for kids, low stepover to allow smaller kids to ride a 24 inch bike. Adjustments should allow bike to be used for more years.
Weaknesses:
Front fork has limited travel, and little give for smaller kids. No way to adjust, and has been squeaking after some moderate riding. Bike also had a plastic cover on front sprocket, which broke off after one day going over logs.
Similar Products Used:
Jamis
Bottom Line:
Excellent bike for kids to use as a upgrade from 20" models. Has greater gear range, better quality components, etc. While may be impractical $wise, but seems that adjustable fork is even more important for kids as style of riding and weight differences are so substantial.
