Why would the little brother have to ride a bike that weighs the same as the 20 inch wheeled models? The younger riders are smaller, don’t have the same muscles but they want to get rad too. At 18.7 lbs (8.5 kgs), the Project 16 is the perfect bike to even the playing field to younger, lighter weight riders.
