Great trail bike for the price. My 9 year old put 70 miles on it her first long weekend, and wanted more!
The bike wheel on both of the bikes I had fell off and I got terribly injured
A high quality bike for the money. Great for kids 9 and up.
Bought this bike for my kid about six months ago. We didn’t really get a lot of opportunity to ride it. Took it out a couple of weeks ago on an easy ride on a paved trial, my kid had a slight accident and the pedal crank got bent. One would imagine that for this price a mountain bike would handle a simple fall. REI refused to pay for the parts and labor (not covered by warranty). Just don’t waste your money on this.
Daughter wanted a green bike and I couldn't find a good one in craigslist. Then I found this on sale. Tires were fatter than expected but made ride smoother on unpaved paths. Simple gears work well. Overall it turned out to be a great bike.
This is my daughter's first real bike and she loves it. I can't get her off of it. Quality is great. No complaints at all. I fully expect my daughter to be riding this for years!
Our 7 year old son loves this bike. Perfect for riding around the neighborhood and camping. There is a lot of value for the price of the bike
