Kona MAKENA (2012)

Set the wee one free on the ultimate starter bike. The Makena has great standover (so they don't squish their valuables) that makes it easy getting on and off the bike, sweet front-suspension forks, grip shifters for small hands and reliable components durable enough for frequent off-road use. Your five- to eight-year-old kids will charge confidently into the bright blue world of bike riding.
