2021 model bought for my son for his 9th birthday. Regularly serviced and cleaned. The only reason for selling is that he has outgrown it. Excellent bike to learn to properly mountain bike on! I am really impressed how well he looked after this bike, with minimal scratches and everything works perfectly.

These bikes still retail for $999 new if you can find them. This will be perfect for boys aged 9-12 but please check sizing chart.
