Subrosa Altus Bike
Best transition bike for young riders moving up from balance bikes.
This is the perfect bridge for young riders ready to graduate from balance bikes but not quite big enough for standard wheels. It packs pro-level components into a smaller frame, ensuring that durability isn't sacrificed just because the rider is still growing.
