This hit the email inbox this morning and thought it was interesting...
-------------------
We have just released what we believe is the lightest and highest spec 20” kids racing dual suspension mountain bike ever. Built and tuned for kids who want to have an unfair advantage.
I believe your followers may be interested, as I spent many hours looking for just this bike and in the end had to build it and now make it commercially available. The CarbonXS Mad 6 bike.
--------------------
A little digging shows it's an Australian company, the bike gets 50mm rear travel, 65mm front travel and weight is around 15 and a half pounds. It's adjustable for 3 different standover heights and has custom carbon 20" wheels that are 1290g for the set. Bike price is around $2800 for custom, hand-built.

I just feel like they we're so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
That being said, I will admit that it is kind of cool.
Also, the way the frame is constructed from bolted machined sheets of carbon and the general lack of tubular components would suggest the bike is built from specific/limited tools/materials/know-how.
I´m not saying that is a bad thing though, you use what you have and know best.
Cool bike anyhow!
Our Zelvy Proto in 16" to 20" (24" is using a slightly different design we will release at Christmas). I reckon it is lighter.
My 8 year old has a ultra-light dual suspension carbonXS proto-type (24"tubular frame) - beat me up a large climb riding today (time to take that off him and put the development project back 6 months!)

As we constantly develop new tech and stay on trend. We have gone all out and made our lightest bike ever - The MAD6 GRAVEL - yes a gravel bike for kids - or maybe just an ultra light street bike for everyday use.
The MAD6 GRAVEL tips the scales at just under 6kg (5.95kg) or 13.1 pounds. with 9 speeds !
Released soon
