Its a strange one, its a 12 speed.... but brakes aren't to bad at all still good for a decent stoppie and will flip u over if not careful nothing like the new 8" disc brakes on most, i'd prefer one of these babies tho....

Yep well built for its intended purpose (to last just long enough until your 8yo turns 12 and needs a bigger one). Generally a POC in every way but springs both ends for $130 - outstanding value kiddies.

Imagine what that assembly would cost if it was a part (theoretically) for your pride and joy!!

Kawasaki brand licensing is interesting. Why does Kawasaki get the cheapo end of the chinese manufacturing pool?

This is more like it and actually made by Hnnddda .....

yeah, i was kinda wondering why kwakka would lend their name to a cheaparse bottom end bike like that

i guess it'd make a few quick bucks for them in royalties, certainly no prestige or real interest in the MTB world, shame that....

i was gunna ask if its a steel frame or alloy, but for $100-$150 with dual suspension, it'll be steel....
