Meet Your Kid's New Best Friend
One ride on the ripcord and your kid's Playstation will become a dust collector.
Today's kids are riding anything and everything they can get their hands on. From singletrack rides with their parents to the occasional bike park trip or hitting up a local pump track. Our Ripcord kids bike is designed to do-it-all while delivering maximum smiles. The Ripcord looks like a rad adult bike that was put on the photocopier and reduced by 40%. You get all the features of an adult bike but in a sweet package that kids can shred. Features like super-low standover, air front and rear shocks, hydraulic disc brakes and knobby Maxxis tires for superb braking and cornering control. There is a reason why we have a hard time keeping this bike in stock.

"He seems to be riding trails he's familiar with in half the time and at twice the pace. New moves are gobbled up on sight, and on more than one occasion he has brashly ridden into situations I felt were above his skill level, leaving me to watch with a warning dead on my lips, my heart in my mouth and pride in my heart. The Ripcord's front and rear suspension, with air springs easily set up for a lighter rider, provide comfort and control when the trail gets rough or fast. The wide, aggressive tires grip reliably in corners and loose conditions, creating a positive feedback loop of increasing confidence. Thanks to the long reach, short stem and wide bars, there's lots of room to move around on the bike, and the slack head tube angle allows for a comfortable, centred position in steep terrain." - NSMB.com
