Kids love to ride, but they also grow like weeds, which always leaves parents in a bit of a conundrum: Do you splurge on your childs bike when they’ll likely grow out of it in a few years? Thats why we made our Hotrock 20—a well-priced and designed bike with plenty of gear range to tackle the neighborhood hills, and enough front-end travel to ride beginners trails confidently.

The Hotrock also features a lightweight and tough 20-inch A1 premium aluminum frame thats designed to take a hit while they find their legs on the pump track. Chatter and bumps, meanwhile, are handled by the coil-sprung SR Suntour forks 40mm of travel.

Then there are a whole host of other components that are plenty tough enough to stand up to your little ripper, so you can rest assured that youll be spending more time riding with your kid and less time waiting in line at the repair counter.
