K2 Zed Youth Bike

Mountain bikes have always been cumbersome for younger kids, so K-2 has a new bike small enough for kids ages 6-12 but rugged enough for rolling down hills and sidewalks. The Zed 20” features 7-speeds, lowered top bar, and alloy frames, rims and front suspension forks. K2 combines these features with low stand-over unigender frames and adjustable short reach brake levers, making them an ideal bike for kids who want to ride like the big kids. $230. www.k2bikes.com
