I am getting my boy an upgrade for his 5th birthday from a jd bug balance bike with the add on the pedals, he rides well on it but its too small and he struggles on hills. We are skipping the 16" bike as he can pedal well already.
For a 20" bike what are your thoughts on the Scott Roxter vs the Titan Hades bikes? The Specialized is too expensive to warrant. Any other suggestions?

The Scott is R7.7K so it is between the Hades Disk R6k and the SE R9k in pricing.
The Scott is the lightest of the bunch as it has a rigid fork.
We mostly ride road and gravel, nothing too gnarly.
