What to Compare Before Buying
- Wheel size: This model uses 20" wheels. Check that this size matches the rider and the space where the bike will be stored.
- Gearing: The bike has 6 speeds. Compare that with the gearing range you want for everyday riding.
- Suspension setup: It uses a coil-sprung mid-frame suspension and a suspension fork. Consider whether that is the type of ride feel you want on a junior bike.
- Tyre size: The tyres are 20 x 1.95" mountain all-terrain tyres. Make sure this suits the surfaces the bike will be used on.
- Included extras: A chainwheel guard, bell and reflector are named as part of the build, which affects what else you may need to add.
Who This Product May Suit
This bike may suit a child or younger rider who needs a 20-inch mountain bike with simple 6-speed gearing and a junior-sized setup. It is also relevant if you want a bike with suspension front and mid-frame suspension rather than a rigid junior bike.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 20-inch wheel size, 6-speed gearing and junior frame layout match the rider before choosing. Also check whether the supplied build and fitted extras suit what you want from the bike.
Checking Fit and First-Use Setup
A 20-inch wheel size alone does not establish whether a bike will fit a particular rider. Check the manufacturer’s sizing guidance against the rider’s measurements, and make sure they can reach and operate the controls comfortably. Before riding, follow the supplied assembly and safety instructions and check that the brakes and steering work correctly.
