Ruben Hechter Posted January 10, 2022 Share I can't find any XS-S enduro/trail bikes for sale. Does someone know where I can search or does someone have one that I can buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaan H Posted January 12, 2022 Share Sorry Ruben, but what you are looking for is pretty rare. I'm guessing you want a dual suspension bike, and the size you're looking for is mostly ridden by primary school kids who generally ride hardtails, although I saw a kid on a sick dual suspension Santa Cruz at the last enduro. How tall are you, are you sure you need such a small bike, will a medium not work, as they are far easier to find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be dual susp with about 150mm travel front and back. I can see they're hard to find๐ Edited January 13, 2022 by Ruben Hechter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaan H Posted January 13, 2022 Share Geez that's a tricky one. I'm 1.72 and fit well on a medium but at 1.58 a medium is most likely way too big, especially with trailbikes these days having longer reach.ย As it is 150mm travel bikes are pretty rare, and expensive. I'd love to swop my Camber for something with that kinda travel too, but the finances say no. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Hansen Posted January 13, 2022 Share Commencal will have a few that fits the bill but they will be 26" for juniors. Something like this will be perfect but it runs 26" wheels, is expensive and I see most will only be available in a couple of months time -ย https://www.commencal-store.co.za/commencal-clash-jr-2022-c2x36191145 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted January 13, 2022 Share 158 a small should work for XS very little options (agents don't import them) FWIW, my wife is on a XS giant anthem 27.5, which was the only dual suspension we could find a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted January 13, 2022 Share How old is the kid?ย Surely he will grow into a medium pretty fast? Up to 1.65m is a small but kids grow pretty fast so in a year he might have outgrown the S (especially the XS)ย Future proof.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted January 13, 2022 Share Does it have to be a 29er dual?ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patensie Posted January 13, 2022 Share At 158 he might just fit on an older model medium Santa Cruz Bronson. My GF fits on my Medium SC 5010 (2015 model) with the 125mm dropper slammed. She's about 160. Ibis caters for smaller riders as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted January 13, 2022 Share Try a 27.5โ model.ย Avoid 26โ. You are going to struggle to find good enduro/trail tires unless you import. Same with rims. At some point he is going to pretzel a wheel and them youโre stuck.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Spez Camber Grom for sale by user Tankwa2 which expired. I owned and rode one for a while and actually loved it. Sold it to fund my Titan and I actually regret it. There was also a Commencal jnr frame for sale on here for a while. I wanted to buy it but no bottle cage bolts swayed me. I am almost ready to unveil the almost man size 20inch trail bike. I'm going bearing and bolt hunting for the suspension linkage next week. Once that's done it is just a case of a spray paint and assemble! Expect to see a semi grown manchild hobbit on a 20inch full suss trail bike by this time next month in and around Cape Town! ย MORNE , Wayne pudding Mol and Chadvdw67 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
