EUC Opus Nix 20 inch Children's Bike

EUC Opus Nix 20 inch Children's Bike Pick up in Waterdown (near Walmart) Details Meet the new NIX. Ever-so popular, now it features SRAM shifting and powerful, light action V-brakes. The updated NIX boosts kids’ confidence to ride faster and farther. We specifically sized the crank, saddle and even the brake lever reach for all our youth bikes. And with the generous use of alloy in the forks, cranks and cockpit components, this bikes is among the category leaders for lightness. - Lightweight alloy frame and fork - Large easy-rolling tires - Youth-sized components opusbike.com The Opus Nix is designed for families who love to bike and who want their children to have the best introduction to riding possible. The sloped crossbar makes an easy step through. Shifting and braking is easy and natural with kid sized brakes and seven-speed shifters. Bright bold designs in red, yellow and blue on a white background will appeal to kids who love color. But my favorite thing about this bike is how light it is. Most kids’ 20-inch bikes have front suspension, which adds weight to the frame. Even if kids are trail riding, the benefit of front suspension is not enough to compensate for the additional weight that suspension adds to the bike when the rider is only six to nine years old. The rigid aluminum fork is super-light and makes the Opus Nix the lightest performance kids’ 20-inch. If you are looking for suspension, Opus makes the Thumper and the Bolt 20-inch bikes with suspension. This bike is so well made, with such great components, that you will definitely be able to pass it through multiple siblings and neighbors, making it a worthwhile investment. Anna Sierra loves her Opus Nix so much, she is planning on saving it for her own children. Pros This is the lightest performance kids’ 20-inch bike available. I love that the Opus Nix has a rigid fork. This makes the bike lighter than other 20-inch bikes by leading manufacturers. Easy to rotate shifters and brakes designed for small hands that can’t reach very far and aren’t as strong as adult hands are other kid-friendly features. Cons Some parents might balk at the price. Especially parents who buy bikes from big box stores. But a quality, lightweight bike made of kid-sized components is well worth the price. Especially when your little kid starts shifting into the granny gear and passing mom and dad on the uphills, even at the end of a nine-mile (15-kilometer) bike ride.
