Adventure-Ready Mountain Bike for Young Explorers
Perfect for introducing kids aged 6–9 years old (typically up to 4’3″ tall) to off-road adventures, this pre-owned Specialized Hotrock Kid’s Hardtail Mountain Bike delivers rugged performance at an affordable price point. Designed to tackle trails while building confidence and skills, this lightweight ride combines durability with playful agility—ideal for park rides, weekend excursions, or even commuting to school on bumpy paths!
Key Features & Performance
– Sturdy Frame & Geometry: A compact 24-inch aluminum frame ensures stability during high-speed descents or rocky terrain climbs while offering a standover height of 24 inches—perfectly sized for young riders’ safety and comfort.
– Smooth Shifting: Equipped with a simple yet reliable 1×8-speed drivetrain and intuitive twist shifter, this bike makes gear transitions effortless even on steep inclines or uneven surfaces.
– Responsive Handling: 80mm front suspension absorbs bumps and jumps seamlessly, reducing fatigue during longer rides while maintaining responsive steering control.
– Secure Stopping Power: V-brake system provides strong braking performance on loose dirt or wet pavement—critical for developing safe riding habits early on!
Condition & Refurbishment Details
This bike has undergone professional inspection and tuning by our certified mechanics! Highlights include freshly trued wheels paired with brand-new tires (rated 10/10) and a replaced rear derailleur cable (8/10+ mechanical condition). While showing minor cosmetic wear (light scratches on brake levers/fork legs), all functional components—chainset (8/10), brakes (8/10+), and suspension—are in excellent working order after our service refresh!
What’s Included & Why It Shines
Pedals and kickstand come pre-installed—saving you time! Compared to other entry-level youth bikes (e.g., Trek Kids’ CrossRip), this Specialized model offers superior front suspension travel (80mm vs standard 60mm) paired with a simpler gear system ideal for beginners. Unlike many used bikes sold “as-is,” this one comes mechanically refurbished locally—backed by our 60-day limited warranty when purchased in-store!
Ideal For:
– First-time mountain bikers mastering trail navigation
– Parents seeking cost-effective yet durable gear
– Active kids who love exploring rough terrain
Note: Frame sizing is based on traditional measurements; verify fit using standover height guidelines before purchase!
