Specialized has really made big strides this past year with the introduction of the Jett Kids line of bikes and now, the re-designed 2022 Riprock line of kids mountain bikes.

Kids Ride Shotgun announced their Pro model seat that takes cues from the Macride and the original no touch frame LOCT seat. Jack runs down the fantastic features and compares the seat to the Macride. The main benefit from these type of seats over frame mounted options is the quick on/off and the fact it...

Guardian Bikes have really carved out a unique space in the kids bike market. Their Shark Tank presented Surestop technology essentially limits the dreaded endo or over the bars crash.
