Which MTB cycle Should i buy ? Im 4feets 10inches tall and im a 14 years old boy ?????

Answer 1

Don't even think of buying a kid size bike. It is too difficult to clear obstructions on a kid's bike with small wheels. You may have to search a bit, but you can easily find a mountain bike with 26" wheels that you'll ft nicely on. Furthermore, you must be right at the leading edge of your growth spurt. Thus, if you get a kid's bike may outgrow it in a few months.

Unfortunately, you don't state how you intend to use the bike or what your budget is. However, given your small size, I think the most important attribute is light weight. You don't want a heavy bike.

Unless you have a huge budget, I'd stay away from a full suspension bike. Lightweight full suspension bikes are really expensive. Plus, there is a good chance this is not going to be your last mountain bike. When you reach full height in a few years, you'll probably need a bigger frame.

Anyhow, my son is about your same size and age. For the last year, he has been doing a lot of cross country races on a small Gary Fisher Marlin. It is light and inexpensive with decent quality components. We put a better saddle, and clipless pedals on it and he was good to go. Recently, we found a nice, used Fox F80 fork and now he is really good to go.

Hope this helps you out.

This depends upon the type of riding that you do and the budget that you have to play with.

Also, at 4'10" your frame size is definately going to fall into the childrens sizing. But there are two mountain bikes that I would recommend. Firstly, Specialized do a particularly nice childrens size for about £199. I believe that this is available in 20" and 24". Scott also do a cut down version of its' Scale, for about £250.

Of the two, I would look at the Specialized, as this is a good, all round machine. The Scott is targeted for XC racing and would not be comfortable for long hacks.

Hope this helps.
