$180.00 | | Purchased At: | sun ski and sport | | Strengths: | The frame is good, 3 pc crank, decent tires, rides very smooth. Comfortable seating position, very nicly laid out. | | Weaknesses: | The frame could be stonger, but see below for info. | | Similar Products Used: | Nextag or something. | | Bike Setup: | At the moment, stock. | | Bottom Line: | Here's my deal. My son is 8 years old and is getting good at BMX riding for an 8 year old. He is also in pe-wee motto-cross on his Yamaha TTR-90 dirt bike. In the past I always let him pick his bike out and he always picked these $80.00 to $120.00 bikes. Every year he broke the bike. 80% of the time it was wear and tear. Bearings fail, wheels bent, ect.. I finally picked out the Haro F2 bike for him. I was told the bike was way better then these Wal-Mart and Target bikes would ever be. So right now you are seeing that I am comparing this bike to crap from the past. I can't say how durable it really is because him being 8 years old, he can not break this bike. If it were me riding it, I would step up the plate a little and spend an extra $200 or more. However, at least if the crank or wheel bearing should fail or you want to upgrade something on the bike; at least it is a bike worth doing that to. I will never penny pinch on any bike for any of my kids. I could have saved a ton of money if I would have spent a little extra dough up front. Even though the bike is only 6 months old, it still performes like it was new. Unlike his last bikes. After 6 months, they were making noises and I knew it was done for. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
