The Scott Roxter 400 is a 24-inch wheel hardtail built for kids leveling up from a smaller bike to longer rides and bigger terrain. The alloy 6061 frame pairs with an SR Suntour XCT JR fork so smaller riders get real suspension feel instead of a harsh, over-stiff front end. An 8-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain gives a wide enough range to handle both flat cruising and short, punchy hills. We like that the whole build, down to the kickstand for easy parking at school or the trailhead, is put together for a kid actually riding this bike every day rather than just outgrowing it. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"At 125 to 135 centimeters, my kid is squarely in the range this bike is built for, and the fit shows up at the brake lever first. The adjustable-reach Tektro levers let me bring the pull in close enough for small hands to actually squeeze the hydraulic discs with one or two fingers, so braking stays controlled on hills instead of becoming an all-or-nothing grab."
