Bike Size for Child
Bike Size for Child
I've been racing motox since '85 but now it's time to get a bike for my 12 y/o and I'm clueless. I'm not going to let him race so this will be a trail bike and I don't want him to out grow it in a year. How do you figure out what the right size is for a child? I'm biased towards Honda CRFs but 70/80/100/150. I have no idea.

Its hard to say if he will grow out of a bike in a year or not depending on how confident he ends up being on it and how much he grows in the next year. If he has never ridden, he will most likely want to be able to touch the ground, but it is also a good age to get started with a bike that is a bit tall for him too. Has your son sat on any of the bikes? What does he feel comfortable on?

He is at the age that he is going to grow. The 100 could be enough for this year and maybe a couple of more....then he is going to want more! Can't blame him
