I've always bought used or cheap bikes for my daughter, who's 8 at the moment. she's always struggled as older and cheap bikes are usually made of heavy steel. it's too much for kids to manage. literally her last bike weighed as much as my 29" mountain bike. She was constantly frustrated So I was looking for a light bike, I did some research and came across the jett24. we found one in a lbs. she was able to pick it up, no problem. she fell in love with it on the first ride. its so nimble and sturdy (her words) and she loves the trigger shifters, she hated twist shifts and I don't blame her. also most kids bikes have completely useless and heavy shocks. unless you have a kid who's really doing downhill single tracks or crazy jumps, kids don't need shocks. it's more important to save the weight by going with a solid fork. there's only one subtle flaw, and that's because of the shape of the handlebars, it's tough to get the shifter into a position she can still shift though.

Great bike and my 10-year old loves it.

I bought this Jett for my 8 and 11 year old and they love it more than us😅 but it’s a great bike

Great bike for our 8 year old. Good size for building confidence.

Worked great for our 8 year old daughter.

Great bike!

Great hybrid bike for introducing gears to kids (7-9).

My son was having trouble learning to bike on a freebie we'd gotten from a friend. We bought him a Jett and he took right off on it. The geometry is perfect for him and he loves to ride it. He rides it on both cement and mellow mountain bike trail.

Great bicycle!! Easy to assemble and the gears are easy to shift for my 9 year old. This will grow with him for many years to come.

I purchased the 24" for my daughter who though petite is able to very comfortably handle this size bike due to all the fantastic adjustment capabilities. The bike shifts beautifully and is very easy for her to shift. I feel very confident that she will get many years of use out of this bike, you get what you pay for and ease of use really contributes to the joy of riding a bike.

Just picked 2 of these up for my 10 and 8 years olds. They LOVE being able to change the gears (8 speed), it's also very easy to change gears because it is a trigger control. The bikes are unbelievably light weight as well. Doesn't hurt that they look great either! Looks like a premium bike.

This bike is amazing!!! They truly thought of every little detail with this one. We thought our 6 year old twins were bike fanatics before, but ever since their new Jetts arrived earlier this week, they haven't talked about anything else! From morning until night, all they want to do is be outside riding their new Jetts! You're right, Specialized - we do have to beg them to get off these bikes!! :)

Thank you Specialized, what a great bike!
