Quick Summary
The AVASTA Rubato 18 is a beginner friendly kids BMX bike with an 18 inch wheelset, Hi Ten steel frame, and simple control for young riders.
What This Product Is Used For
The AVASTA Rubato 18 Inch Big Kids BMX Bike is used for beginner freestyle riding, park riding, street riding, trail practice, and everyday cycling confidence. Compared with a basic children’s bike, this BMX style model is built with a stronger Hi Ten steel frame, wider 18 inch tyres, and a freestyle inspired setup for young riders who want more than simple pavement cycling. The 17.3 inch top tube length and rider height range of 3’5″ to 4’3″ make it suitable for children who are ready for a more confident riding position. Users choose it over simpler bikes because it gives a sturdier BMX feel with easy handling for developing riders.
