Model Overview
20 Kids completes the Vitus 20 model. Vitus launched 7 bikes of this model so far.
Safety
Take safety seriously when you ride your bike, and always wear your helmet. Moreover, don’t ride on the sidewalk. This is actually against the law in some states and can be dangerous for both you and pedestrians.
Average price for Youth bikes
If you want an acceptable Youth bike you should know that the average price is 278$. However, you could also get a good Youth bike even if you pay a lower amount than the average price. To make sure you don’t pay a higher amount than normal for your bike, always do some components analysis and read reviews.
When Vitus released this model in 2021, its price was 364$. Comparing this to the average Youth bike price, we see that the price is 30.94% higher.
Average weight for Youth bikes
The average weight for Youth bikes is 11.74 kg (25.88 lbs). It is a good advantage to have a lighter bike than the average. However, a heavier bike is more efficient on descents.
With a weight of 8.5 kg (18.74 lbs), Vitus bike is much lighter than average. To sum up, it’s 38.12% lighter than the average weight of Youth bikes.
20 Kids components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the 20 Kids model has 20″ aluminum wheels. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The 20 Kids comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
20 Kids comes in 4 sizes, that range from 96 cm – 137 cm (3.15 ft – 4.49 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
