Customer Reviews
dual suspension, 6-speeds, bike for 8-12 year olds
The price is excellent. What I wanted was something for my 8 year
old to get used to the idea of shifting and being able to climb those
steeper hills. The good news is my son loves it. Here are some
problems to look out for.
It is not shipped well. It comes in an unprotected box and arrived
at my house all beat up and was missing a small plastic plug that fits
in the top of the front suspension. The box had holes in it, so no
telling where that ended up, anyway it could've been much worse. The
rear derailleur was slightly bent during shipping. The brakes needed
adjusting and a good bit of assemply was required. You need to be a bit
of a handyman to put it together.
Also, for shorter riders (like my son) the top cross bar is too high
and you can't adjust the seat enough.
I went down to the new 'Dicks' sporting goods store to check out
their bikes after I bought this off amazon. 'Dicks' had a Diamondback
with these features (minus the dual suspension which really isn't needed
for a kid) for $169.00 and it was much, much better quality. I was
really kicking myself for not spending the extra money, because it was
much safer bike to. My son had a pretty bad wreck because the brakes
failed coming down a hill (he was fine, but it scared me and twisted
alot of the bike up), this was mostly due to my poor brake adjustment
and he was new to handle bar brakes. Anyway, that diamondback is also
much better to adjust for different heights and is especially good for
shorter 8 year olds. Plus that diamondback had excellent shimano
components for durability etc.
Well, if you really can only spend $100, this is a good bike, but
for the extra $70, you can get an awesome bike that will last for many
years.
