Additional Info

The light tune on this thing is awesome. 60lb kid can run proper sag and the kinematic on this bike works great. Ride 9 chip set on the slightly slack and more progressive side of neutral. Can tune HA from like 63.6 to something like 67 and same chip adjusts progression, bb drop. Way cooler than I thought it would be. 27.5 fork with a spacer under headtube so when the time comes can lose the spacer and mini mullet this beast if wanted. 10 year old rider. So much fun to ride trails together (with plenty of help from Tow-Whee strap and dad strength.
