Good - Elegant, strong, good breaks, quality material Bad - little heavy for kids, gears too hard to operate for 8 year old. If gears are upgraded, this is excellent bike for kids!
We got this bike for my daughter's 8th birthday earlier this month. It is her first bike with gears and has made going on family bike rides so much easier. The bike looks great, and she couldn't be happier.
This bike fits my son very well! High quality at a reasonable price. He loves the disc brakes.
Bought this for my 9 yr old grandson for Christmas......and he LOVES it!!!!!
Bought two of these for my boys for xmas, and weren't allowed to give them a 'test ride' around the store (the folks working seemed awfully nervous of kids in their store to begin with...), and didn't realize till we were hours away at home, that the shifters were nearly impossible to move. We're now having new shifters put on them by a local bike shop, who talked to shimano and discovered that they simply suck - I believe we're at an extra $130 per bike, thus far. Hopefully nothing else needs replaced.
