What are some of the nicest bikes?

Question

what are some of the nicest most expensive bikes for kids around 12

Answer 1

Around 12 you can actually get into some pretty decent stuff.  At this point the kids start to really explore what they can do with the bike.

My recommendation is to get something relatively all purpose: That means you want a mountain bike.

Kids shouldn't have road bikes unless they are going to have 2 bikes.  I know I destroyed my bikes when I was 12.  I loved everything from tearing around the neighbourhood to finding small jumps to ripping through the "singletrack" near my house.

Now, as far as bikes go I'd say the best bets are in the freeride hardtail area.

Stuff like the Specialized P.Grom (or P.3 or P.All Mountain depending on the size of the kid), Gary Fisher Opie 2-4, and the Rocky Mountain Flow 1 or Flow Raw.  Personally I would likely go for the Flow 1 or Raw since the geometry of the bikes lends themselves to a more versatile ride style, anything from a day at the local skate park, to a mild cross country assault.

I'd recommend going to as many local bike shops as possible and seeing what they have in stock.

Answer 3

I am doing my research too for my 9 yr boy. The MTB are always Iron Tank ...Heavy. I like Road because since I bought my Road, I never could ride my MTB anymore. Any good Road bike costs at least $1500 to begin with and they are way too light! If not full Carbon, at least 40% Carbon 60% Aluminium (NOT Tank Metal). I plan is to get out of these following:-

All these manufacturer have a specific model for Kids. Since your Kid is already 12. you may look for 43cm Adult bike too because she will grow up tall very fast at this age.

Road bikes are light and easy for riding 50-60  miles without getting tired. Where as in MTB after 10 miles you will feel to return home.
