Dirt Jump 2024 Built for Данчо, Варна

Loose Change

A dirt bike for a 14-year-old rider at 1.58 m who was growing faster than the budget. Geometry for now, with room to grow.

The story of the build

The smallest bike I have built, and one of the hardest. Kids' dirt bikes are either toys or shrunk copies of adult geometry that do not work for a short body.

Reach 380 mm, a very low bottom bracket and a high-rise bar so he can change his position as he grows. In two years we will only swap the fork and the stem.
