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 />
