Review on 🚲 Mongoose Legion Freestyle Sidewalk BMX Bike for Kids and Beginners to Advanced Riders, 16-20-inch Wheels, High-Tensile Steel Frame, Micro Drive 25x9T BMX Gearing by Jeremy Carpenter

My (almost) 8-year-old daughter recently started riding BMX at the skate park. She had a 16-inch piece of BMX junk from Toys'R'Us, so we knew it was time for an upgrade. She wanted to keep the bright pink style that most little girls love but wanted a real BMX for the park. This task seemed almost impossible. SIZE: Many other bikes are a more professional style/size and cost twice as much. We did some real research because it's not just tire size that matters, but top tube length as well. She's quite tall at 4'4", but my husband's 20.75" bike was too big for her. This bike is perfect for her with 20″ tires and 18.5″ top tube length and she has plenty of room to grow. RELATED BIKES: Our search narrowed us down between this bike and the Mongoose Legion L40 ($199.99). or the Mongoose Legion L80 ($219.99), both of which were older bikes that we thought could grow up, but I'm so glad we chose this one. THE BIKE ITSELF: This is not a 100% pro BMX bike to be honest, no gyroscope is missing but nothing essential for an 8 year old. We've made some changes (removed front brake, reflectors, etc.) and it will suit her for years to come until she's ready to take responsibility for a better bike. This bike is also MUCH lighter than her old 16 inch bike and is easier for her to maneuver in and out of the house. The color on this bike is absolutely amazing, the photos show the usual pink bike but it's more of a neon pink with a beautiful thin metal plate. The decals are tasteful and the white patches on the fins and frame really make this car stand out. My daughter is so excited to show off her new bike at the skate park! We assembled this bike in 30 minutes or less and it was very easy. It was packed in a big box and really needed handlebars, saddle, pedals and front wheel. If you doubt this, do it. You can't beat the quality and style of his bike for the price.
