Take your kid to the next level.The all-new Ripcord delivers maximum smiles everywhere from the backyard to the bikepark.The Ripcord has been taking kids to the next level for years, and this redesign will surely turn it up to 11. The Ripcord has evolved to share the best features of our adult bikes, utilizing our Giddy Up linkage design and vertical shock layout. With 130mm of travel, riders have more capability and forgiveness in bike parks and for sidewalk kickers alike. The ultra low standover inspires confidence and fits a wider range of riders with a 365mm reach, 65° headtube angle and 395mm chainstays. The new frame has internal dropper post routing and comes equipped with a dropper from the get go. This little ripper is ready to GiddyUp!The new kinematic layout allows riders to have supple suspension feel with high enough air pressure to ensure shocks have proper damping and the same range of tuning that we get on our adult trail bikes.Internal cable routing for the dropper, derailleur and brake — clean integration of all the cables makes for a kid-proof, hassle free bike.Youth specific components improve ergonomics and translate to a better overall experience — kids will feel natural and confident with components designed for them.Features 130mm travel front and rear: The Ripcord is ready for anything from the local trails to the bikepark.
