Product Description
The Rift Zone Jr is for the ambitious kid looking to keep up with the adults and push the boundaries of the local bike park on a bike just as capable as its full-size counterpart.
The Rift Zone Jr is built around our MultiTrac suspension system and is our most capable kids bike ever, with all of the modern adult tech and trail geometry in a package for the younger rider. Lightweight, 24" wheels and air tuned suspension lead to a fun bike out on the trail, equally at home on rolling hills or downhill singletrack. Swap out the stock 24" wheels with 26" wheels down the line as the Rift Zone Jr grows with your kid.
