Lower standover means that the Skid can be ridden by both male and female riders with more room for movement. This improves control and confidence on technical sections.
Skid 12 comes with a side pull brake front and a coaster brake on the rear. Side pull brakes are easy to set up and offer good performance and the lever pull is light for young riders.
