Specialized Hotrock 24 Kids XC 2017
Grown-up bike technology and quality dialled for kids looking to attack the trails and build some skills.
When choosing a kids bike there are a number of variables to consider. From a size point of view kids bike sizing is based on wheel size. You want your child to be in control and be able to enjoy the bike to its full potential, so a correctly sized bike is a must.
It is easy to think the child will grow into the bike but a bike to big will be dangerous, difficult to handle and less enjoyable to ride. What type of bike is the next decision.
For the child between the ages of 9 to 11 and between 1.20 metres to 1.35 metres tall a 24 inch diameter wheel is the perfect choice. This again is faster than smaller wheeled bikes and this size of bike now starts to resemble a small adults bike, with many of the same components and features.
