FeaturesTrail X3's frame is made of lightweight-but-strong 6061 series aluminum featuring over-sized, ovalized & tapered tubing for increased frame strength and a 34.9mm seat tube to assure a stiffer pedaling platform. Our smallest 13" frame size is especially suitable for junior riders. This frame size can comfortably & safely fit taller kids as young as 10 or 11. With the Trail X's larger diameter 26" wheels and 300mm seat post with quick-release clamp, this bike will last them for years. RST's Blaze TnL fork delivers 100mm of travel, 30mm stanchions, aluminum sliders & hydraulic "Turn-n-Lock" lock-out. Having the lock-out upgrade makes both climbing and pavement riding much more efficient. The 26 x 1.95" Jamis TX tires on all our Trail X-series bikes are from the same manufacturer that produces Maxxis tires: one of the most respected names in off-road rubber in the business. The X3's Shimano 24-speed drivetrain features a Shimano Acera front & rear derailleur, Rapid-Fire Plus shifters, and HyperGlide HG30 11-32 cassette with a Shimano M311 42/32/22 crankset for true go-anywhere capability. The spoke bed of the Alex TD25 rims is reinforced to resist disc brake torque. Under braking load, hubs will twist, which increases spoke tension on some of the spokes, which in turn exerts greater pull on the nipples. Reinforcing the spoke bed prevents these braking loads from pulling the nipples through the rim. The X3 also features a cassette freehub rear hub, with hub bearings further outboard on the axle than on a standard rear hub threaded to accept a freewheel, which provides greater bearing support to the axle for increased strength and durability. Tektro's HDC-300 hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better modulation & feel, require less maintenance and are often lighter than many cable-actuated disc brakes. Aheadset's patented threadless steering system not only saves weight, but pre-loading the headset bearings for optimal steering precision is much easier than on standard threaded headsets. Sealed cartridge bottom brackets reduce maintenance time and expense. The Trail X-series ATB saddle with front & rear protective guards offers plenty of comfort, durability & style.
