What size bike is good for a 12 year old?

You can also use the following bike size chart:

| Age | Height (in) | Bike Size (in) |

|-------|-------|-------|

12-13 |4' 10" - 5' 1" |24 |

13 |5' 2" - 5' 4"| 26 |

However, it's always best to have a professional bike fitter measure your child to determine the perfect bike size.

Below are additional factors to consider when selecting a bike for a 12-year-old child:

- Wheel diameter: The wheel diameter of a bike is measured in inches. Bikes typically come with 16, 20, 24, and 26-inch wheels. For a 12-year-old child, a bike with 24 or 26 inches wheels would be a good option.

-Frame size: The length of the top tube of the bike frame is measured from the center of the head tube to the center of the seat tube. The frame size is usually expressed in inches. The right frame size for a 12-year-old child depends on their height and inseam.

- Weight: The weight of a bike is an important factor to consider, especially if the child will be riding uphill. A lighter bike is easier to pedal and maneuver.

- Riding style: If your child plans to ride on paved roads, a road bike may be a good choice. If they plan to ride on dirt trails, a mountain bike may be a better option.

- Budget: The price of a bike can vary widely, so it's important to set a budget before you start shopping.

By considering all of these factors, you can choose a bike that will be safe and comfortable for your 12-year-old child.
