Trek Mountain Track Specifications

Mountain-biking is a great way to encourage your kids to get and stay in shape. The mountain bikes made by Trek that are specifically designed for kids are ready to be taken off-road with their knobby tires and light frames. These bikes will likely withstand any abuse the kid can throw at them when on the trail and are not extremely expensive either. Learn about the Mountain Track 200, one of the boy-specific kid bikes by Trek.

  1. Features

    • The Mountain Track is fitted with a multi-speed gear system so the kid can learn to shift with comfort and it will aid him in climbing hills and going faster on the flats. In addition, the bike is sized for a kid with adjustable seat posts, pedal lengths and handlebar stem size. The bike also has smaller-diameter brake grips to make it easier for the kid to access the brake feature with his smaller hands.

    Details

    • The frame of the Mountain Track comes in only one color: matte black. The frame is 24 inches and is made out of tensile steel. The wheels are constructed from aluminum and are 24 inches. The front hub is alloy metal, as is the rear hub. The tires that come stock with the bicycle are Bontrager SX, 24-by-2-inch. The saddle is a 24-inch post and is fitted with a padded seat, and the seat post is made of steel. The headset is adjustable ball bearing, and the brake set is linear pull front and rear brakes with dialed alloy levers as well.

    Price

    • The Mountain Trek carries a retail price of $299.99 as stated on the Trek site in May 2011.

    Kid-Specific Components

    • The Mountain Track carries the right saddle size for the age of the rider and is adjustable as he grows taller and heavier. The pedals are also smaller than the adult versions to custom-fit the smaller feet of the rider. The gear ratio is also custom-fitted for a kid so that the gears are not too large or too small and the child can feel comfortable making decisions about changing gears.

    Recommended Age

    • The recommended age by Trek for the Mountain Track is 7 years old and up. Since height varies widely at this age, have the kid try out the bike by riding it before you buy it to make sure the size is within his range.
