I won’t be able to keep up with them soon!

I'm 5'4 adult guy and I bought a 24 MTB for my everyday ride. I'm not comfortable with larger MTBs. I just love riding a not too small, not too big MTBs

Way to go getting the kiddos into mountain biking! I wish I would’ve started when I was a kid!

@@MichianaMadman Yes it is. I upgraded to hydraulic brakes and thumb shifter and installed matching new pedal and grips 🙂

Great experience! Would like to ask, how comfortable are these bikes on the asphalt roads? My 6 years old son likes off-road riding in the forest but also rides on bicycle paths and even on the asphalt pump track. I’m worrying that it won’t fit use cases.

My kids actually use these bikes to ride around town more than they do on the trails.

Great mini-review of the Riprock! I'm looking into upgrading the 16" bike of my little one with the 20" Riprock and any real-life information is very helpful! I have a question though - have you measured what is the exact weight of the 20" Riprock? I cannot find this information anywhere.

Sorry for the late reply. I took my bathroom scale out to the garage and weighed myself, then again while holding the bike. The difference was 27.4 lbs or 12.4 kg.

@@MichianaMadman Thanks for all that effort you went thought! I have encountered that 12+ kg number somewhere without any hard evidence of it being correct. But now I know for sure. Looks like that's one hefty bike :) Thank you a lot for the information! Now I have what to consider when choosing the right option.

I was surprised that the bikes were as heavy as the scale said! I am glad to have been a help.

Love it. This is my dream for my family! I'm looking to upgrade our children's two 16" kids bikes to either 20 and 24" or both 24". Ideally I was hoping to get them both on 24" bikes and skip the 20 (saves some $), but I think my 6y/o might struggle to fit the 24". In your experience, would the younger of your two children be able to ride the 24" easily?

No, I had to lower the seat pretty low on the 20” for her to feel confident.

Hey! I had the same question, I found both a 24 and a 20 second hand and I have a 6yo daughter. She's 117cm (approx 3.8 foot). How tall was you daughter when she got on the 20? Specialized say their 24 model fits between 114 and 142cm but I'm really doubtful. Thanks! 👍🏻😉

@MichianaMadman

My 6y.o. is at 119cm. I have the seat post in a lower position on the 20 inch. Fits perfect. She can’t fit on the 24 with the seat post at the lowest position. So I would go with the 20.

How tall is/was your older daughter when you filmed that video? Deciding between 20 or 24 for my 7.5 yo 49 inches tall daughter

Sorry for the late response. She was probably around 50 inches tall.

At what age do you think your younger daughter would need to upgrade? My granddaughter is 8 and wondering if the 20" would be too small.

@MichianaMadman

I think my youngest will have to upgrade at 8. Both of my girls are tall for their age so I feel like they may be upgrading earlier than their peers would.

Definitely a much better place to take a child or beginner. My oldest has done some longer trails since this video but not my youngest. I plan on taking her to Bendix Woods in 2022 to help her learn how to trail ride.

You are right. There is so many chances to exit the trail and take the road back to the trailhead/car that it should’ve been my first stop 😂

I know you're a great dad but you shouldn't buy a very expensive bike just for your kids

The money has been well worth it! Both of my girls are still using the bikes, though they are outgrowing the frames. My oldest will need a new bike but then my younger kids can move up into these bikes.
