I have been praying for a tiny bike like this all my adult life, and I finally took the plunge and bought one a few months ago. It has been such a joy to finally feel in control of my bike and no longer held back by my equipment. To have the suspension work as intended. To roll up to gnarly PNW features and say hell yes, I'm riding them, because I know the bike is going to do what I tell it to do because ... for once in my life, it fits!! I'm giving it 4 stars only because I didn't love the stock fork (too harsh) and I'd have preferred to get a fancier build off the shelf. I get that for kids there's a price point to hit, but the bike industry should recognize that there are plenty of adults in this size range (mostly women) who are not being well served. (Note the staggering numbers of "what bike to buy the short wife/GF" threads on Pink Bike, etc.) That said, with a fork upgrade this is is a dream bike for anyone <130lbs. in the S2 size range. If you're tiny like me, do yourself a favor and buy it. And yes, the stand over is dreamy. Thanks, Chromag, for making an excellent little bike.

My son has been on his minor threat for 8 months now and watching how it has enabled his progression has been wild. Been doing a combo of North Shore and Whistler Bike park and bike has stood up very well. Build quality it second to none. Climbs pretty well, maybe a bit heavy but again kids are hard on their bikes especially if they are senders so haven’t had to do a thing besides lube the chain. The slack geo and quality suspension has definitely saved his bacon coming up short and riding the steeps. Some people will question spending so much for a kids bike but this bike is so good that you know the resale value will be really strong so in reality it isn’t that crazy when it comes time for the next size. It’s an investment! At least that’s what I told my wife! Lol

Thanks for building it Chromag!

I was lucky enough to get one of the first Minor Threat 26" bikes released for my 9 year old boy and it really was a game changer for him this summer. The geometry and suspension on this bike can handle anything the bike park can throw at it and its ability to climb well make it such a great bike for the little chargers. Seriously my son's skills improved instantly with the confidence this bike gave him. HIGHLY recommend. Well done Chromag!

Kaeden, our 8 year old son, is loving his new ride! It is still slightly to big for him, but he is having no problems pedaling it. We are a non lift access family (most of the time) and had friends worried about the Minor Threats pedal-ability and weight. Well, a couple weeks ago Kaeden wanted to ride Silver Stars 35km Beowulf loop. He shredded the downs and went up the loooong climb with no problems. He has been hitting bigger roll downs and can't stop popping off of every little lip and drop on all the trails. Fantastic ride Chromag!

We just picked up the Minor Threat for our 8 year old son, and he is unbelievably stoked! The geometry, the suspension, the components, it is an incredible build. From climbing, to rock rolls, to the bike park, this bike handles it all with ease. After just a few rides, his comfort and confidence has noticeably risen. Chromag definitely knows how to build a bike! 10/10 would recommend.
