Intermediate Bikes<br />

New for 2002<br />

Intermediate bikes are for those who need a size<br />

between youth and full-size. For 2002, we’ve added a<br />

road bike to this range of bikes.<br />

Geometry<br />

These frames use geometries which deliver performance<br />

for a smaller rider. Standover is maximized to<br />

allow a younger rider to get on early, and ride it for a<br />

longer period of time as they grow.<br />

On the mountain bikes, the head angles are slightly<br />

slackened to allow good off-road stability for a rider<br />

with less upper body strength.<br />

Ride<br />

These are real bikes, and that’s how they ride. This is<br />

important, because although we show them in the Kids<br />

section in the catalog, they have the ride performance<br />

and handling required to be enjoyed by smaller adults.<br />

Frame details<br />

The Mt. Track 240 and 1000KDR use Alpha aluminum<br />

frame technology.<br />

The other bikes use hi-tensile steel with a Cro-Moly<br />

seat tube. The advantage of Cro-Moly steel is higher<br />

tensile strength and fatigue resistance; it’s no more<br />

rigid than good hi-tensile steel. For this reason, we’ve<br />

only used Cro-Moly in the seat tube, which can see lots<br />

of flexing as the seatpost quick release is used. For the<br />

rest of the bike, we’ve focused on providing the best ride<br />

for the cost. By carefully designing the frame geometry,<br />

tubing wall thicknesses, and tubing diameters, we’ve<br />

managed to get a lot of ride from a less expensive<br />

frame material. This allows riders a viable high quality<br />

alternative to chain store bikes which don’t ride nearly<br />

as well.<br />
