KHS Raptor

The KHS Raptor is a great choice for your child's first multi-geared bike! It's got everything you need and nothing you don't:
- Quality manufacturing (KHS is a factory brand - one Ken started selling in 1985 - a factory which also makes bikes for many other top brands)
- 11" Aluminum frame with rigid fork (lightweight and easy to handle for small kids, unlike heavier bikes with steel & suspension)
- Light aluminum alloy rims (for eaiser starts & stops, and better braking) and nutted axles (not quick-release, for kids' safety)
- Wide 20x2.125 tires (for stability & confidence on all surfaces)
- Shimano TY300D 7-speed rear derailleur & single "Revo" shifter (easy for young minds to understand, and for small hands to operate)
- Proven, reliable "V" style rim brakes with adjustable-reach levers (to fit even the smallest hands, yet adjust as they grow)
- Micro-adjustable alloy seatpost (not a cheap steel clamp) and junior-sized saddle (to fit kids without chafing)
- Alloy crankset with 140mm arms (for easy pedaling) and double chainguard (keeps chain from falling off)
- Included derailleur guard (to keep the derailleur from getting bent in the inevitable minor spills) and replaceable hanger (so even if it does get bent, it's easily fixed w/o replacing the frame)
- Kickstand is optional
- Helmets are required for every rider under age 18 in California; Ken's has a great selection on sale now!
