This was a great buy! Only had it for about two days on the dirt but can already see my little one getting so much confidence. He stepped upp from a 12 inch "mtb". On this new bike he has better body posture, speed and control.
My boy is 3.5yo and measures 107cm. He is quickly getting to like this bike and learning to ride on some mini pumptracks. The bike is light and well geared between speed and some climbing. I love the belt drive!
The best thing about this bike is the brakes. This was my first priority on a new bike and they deliver! The small hands can easily lock the rear wheel for some fun and control is good with nice modulation. I'm happy I could adjust the levers close to the steering for him to reach and I've moved them in a bit for 2 finger breaking which works great. Never will I have to worry brakes are not enough!
There was only one small thing to complain about and that was the rotation/tension of the front brake's cable. It was pushing in the headset and would have worn out the paint in no time. I rotated the caliper one lap to get the cable out of the frame but it's now "pointing" the other way. Thought of releasing the knut in the level to get the rotation just right but did not want to risk spilling oil or getting air in now that the bike is brand new. Small thing to even mention and probably different in every unit. Just bothered me a little.
All in all extremely satisfied with this bike and hope it's gonna be the key to get my kid hooked on the sport.…
