Great bike!
Yes , I recommend this product
Nicely made bike and well set-up in the store. All parts seem to be high quality. My daughter hasn't put a whole lot of miles on it yet, but it's her first multi-gear/hand brake bike and she was very nervous. One little ride down the street and she was loving it. The finish on the frame seems very even and quite thick/durable. The grip shift mechanism for the front gears does seem to be a little tight but that might be able to be adjusted. The gears don't slip out at all. Great bike!

Great Beginner's Bike!
Yes , I recommend this product
I bought the Rev 24 for my 10yo. The frame allows for him to feel comfortable with the bigger bike and to grow into it. I like the fact that there is only one shifter, and the gears allow for a full range of terrain. There are 7 gears but they are sufficient for our purposes for city or fire road low hills. The price is right for the light weight frame and components. You really can't get a better value for the quality. The service at REI was speedy and friendly. Great purchasing experience overall.

Worse than previous Co-Op bikes
No, I do not recommend this product
Other co-op bikes have been great but this bike has been real trouble. Badly designed rims with little tube protection led to a popped air tube. The tube used is an uncommon size making changing it harder. The derailleur has had continual issues. It popped the derailleur wire loose. The front derailleur has had trouble shifting into the highest gear as well. Too many problems to reccommand

Very good bike for a child
Yes , I recommend this product
 Importantly this color is pinkish, not the red it appears on the screen. My daughter loves the color it’s beautiful but not so pink that a boy would not be comfortable with it but definitely pinkish. This bike fits my daughter perfectly at 4‘5“ 9 years old, it’s fairly lightweight and well engineered balanced etc. much better than typical big box bikes

Nice bike but no kickstand
Yes , I recommend this product
I bought this bike for my Granddaughter and was surprised a bike costing over $400 comes without a kickstand.The local REI Store didn’t have one in stock to fit it.
