Road Bike Sizes Inches
what is the best size off road bike for a 10 year old?
Any advise welcome, im looking for a second hand field bike for my 10 year old daughter, there are so many different options, but it does seem that the what are called ” child bikes” seem to have a seat height of around 24 inches. Can anyone recommend and ideal size that is not too big but will last a few years
well stated slipknot!!!
xr or crf 70 / 80 / 100 depending totally on her height and inseam. should be able to easily touch with both feet when she is sitting on the bike. this will enable her to gain balance and confidence while learning how to ride.
easiest thing is go to a bike shop and have her sit on several different models and sizes… then watch local newspaper classified, Craigslist in the area(s) you are willing to drive to. you should be able to find a decent used 4 stroke that will last a long time with low maintenance. then merely trade up as she grows.
as slipknot stated, drz, klx (both virtually same bike, even parts interchange on most), ttr would all be reliable bikes. there are 2 stroke race bikes in the same size ranges (50/60/80/85/100) but these are typically higher strung racing bikes but they will also have higher performance engine, brakes, suspension and lighter weight.
Why Touring Bicycles with 26inch Wheels Instead of 700c on your bikes?
