my friend Tomer is allreally a pretty acomplish rider even if he is only Eleven years old,,
now he wants to get a Full suspension bike, currentlly he rides a kona Stuff,,that is totally trash from way to many stair gaps, jumps and crap like that..
so my question his,,what do you Gals & guys think is is the best platform for such a small person, he is very agresive , super strong (for his size) and totally fearless plus super skillful, but no matter what is he is tinny,,
just for fun the other day I let him ride my M-pire (set up for a 200 pound pig) and the suspension did not even move (Oviuslly) plus the bike was half his weight so he can harlly pedal it( many DH/FR rigs are about the same mass,even if they are size Extra small)...
so what do we look for,,
a 24" capable frame?
a very "Alive" suspension design,,?
I don't think he can handle more than 4"-5' inch of travel(does not need to since it has no body mass to suspend) but maybe you guys know better.
i never being confront with this dilemma since I'm always being kind of strong, clumssy and big,,when for sure Tomer is totally the opossite
thanks for the advice..money is not really the object here, we just need a cool bike that he can take advantage as much as possible..
