The Roscoe 20 is a kids' mountain bike with mid-fat tires that inspires confidence on the trail. It's based on the adult version of the Roscoe, but designed from the ground up for kids. 2.8" wide mid-fat tires and a wide-ratio 1-speed drivetrain make the Roscoe the ideal bike for smaller bullies who want to learn new skills and have loads of fun chasing mom, dad or older siblings through the terrain. For Children with a height of 114 to 132 cm.
It's the right bike for you if…
… your little bully is ready to leave the neighborhood streets behind and conquer the trails. You are looking for a real mountain bike that he or she can use to learn off-road skills and gain self-confidence. If you want to show your offspring how much fun trails can be, there is no better teacher than the Roscoe.
You get this equipment
A robust Alpha Gold Aluminium frame with a sloping top tube, 20" wheels with 2.8" wide mid-fat tires for extra traction and stability, a 1×8 Shimano drivetrain with a wide gear range for climbs and technical sections, and mechanical disc brakes for reliable riding braking performance. The Roscoe also benefits from a wealth of well-thought-out details borrowed from our adult mountain bikes, such as the closed front dropouts or the flush-mounted rear brake caliper, which saves you a trip to the workshop if the Roscoe should be treated a little rougher.
Our last word
If you give your offspring a Roscoe, chances are that mountain biking will become a lifelong passion. Thanks to mid-fat tires and a wealth of child-specific details, it's the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of trails. When he or she is ready to join you on singletrack, this kid-friendly setup will give kids confidence, teach important skills, and hopefully inspire a healthy obsession with the world's greatest sport.
