Laguna 20" Complete Kids' Bike - 2015

After your young one graduates from push bikes and mini-cruisers, the GT Laguna 20 is the perfect next step. Not quite a full-on mountain bike, but definitely stouter than the cartoon character options, the Laguna comes equipped with a 7-speed drivetrain, 20-inch wheels, and a twist shifter designed specifically for smaller hands.

The frame’s built from 6000-series aluminum, too, so if you have another youngster just learning the ins and outs of a strider-type bike, rest assured the GT Laguna will last through multiple handing-downs.

The Laguna rolls on 20-inch wheels, so tire and tube replacement is just about as easy as an adult bike –no scouring the web for obscure tire sizes. The Laguna comes in one size, and is designed for kids between 4’0 and 4’7” tall.
