Key Details
Wheel Size
20 inches
Number of Gears
7 gear(s)
- Bright, fresh and eye-catching, because for kids, a fun bike is one that looks great
- Sized to fit kids' anatomies, with a smaller handlebar and grips, kid-specific seat and pedals sized for kids' feet
- Durable lightweight alloy frame, because a light bike is easier to handle and more fun to ride (bike weighs no more than 30 to 40% of a child's weight)
- 20 in. wheels and low-profile tires are perfect for riders between 3 ft. 10 in. and 4 ft. 3 in. (117 cm to 130 cm) who are moving from the sidewalk to the street
- Lightweight aluminum frame and components make the bike easy to pedal and maneuver, while the low stand-over height make mounts and dismounts easier
- Kid-correct stand-over height makes it easier for kids to get on and off the bike
- Kid-correct reach keeps kids in comfortable control of the bike
- Kid-correct gearing—lower gearing and shorter crankarms are right for shorter, less powerful legs, with a narrower Q-Factor (width) for a more natural stance.
- 7-speed gearing with low-torque 7-speed twist shifter made for smaller hands
- Low-torque twist shifter is easy for smaller hands to operate; 7-speed gearing ensures you can always find the right gear for the terrain
- NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
