"Thank you so much to the Trailcraft Crew. You guys have been so awesome helping me get my daughter’s Pineridge 24 set up just right for her. Customer service has been amazing! She loves the new bike, how easy it is to climb, shift and brake. The cockpit is so well designed for small hands. Climbing and descending single track are so much safer on this geometry. Excited for all the time we will spend together riding the next few years while I can still keep up! Can’t recommend enough. Thank you for offering this great product to kids. They are the ones who deserve light bikes. Keep up the good work."

"Wow, blown away! Very well thought out design. This is a kid specific, high performance setup, that blows away the comparable offerings from the large, big name bike companies. The brake and derailleur adjustment was spot on out of the box, zero noise or rubbing. We opted for the tubeless setup (sealant already installed) when ordering, so once I installed the handlebars, grips, and levers, it was just a matter of tweaking the air pressure in the fork and tires, and our daughter was off and riding. The customer service was awesome, with Brett taking the time to chat on the phone, and set us up with a build level that was appropriate for our daughter. Amazingly high quality bike, our daughter loves it!"

"Great bike for our budding 10yo trail rider. Geometry is much improved over her previous ride- or really any kids bike we’ve had to date. The 26″ wheel size rolls over anything in her path and the slack geometry is super stable. And the weight… or lack thereof, is incredible- this bike is significantly lighter than her sister’s 20″ from [insert major bike manufacturer]! So far we’ve just been to the bike park and local foothills trails in ABQ, but are looking forward to some light-duty downhill in the summer. By then she’ll also be climbing like a mountain goat! Build was great- it was a treat to speak directly with the folks building in order to make the best decisions based on available components. Thank you!"

"26 Timber Special Build. Great bike for my 9yo daughter. She is 4’5″ tall which was the perfect transition height to this bike. I was worried about her not being able to handle the bigger bike. But I received on Friday and she won a race on Sunday! So sizing was spot on. She is amazed at how light it is, loves the turquoise color, and says the colored valve stems make the wheels look like they a glowing. Worth every penny!"

"My son has been riding his Maxwell 24 for the past two years. It’s now time to pass it on to his younger brother, and he’ll be moving on up to the Maxwell 26. The 24 has been a really nice bike. We primarily ride cross country trails on the weekdays and do more technical trails on the weekends. We’ve also done downhill bike parks a handful of times. The Maxwell really just checks all the marks for the type of riding we do. We used to ride about once a week, but now it’s more like 5 days a week since the pandemic hit. It has been a game changer in our health, both mentally and physically, and having my son on a bike that is light weight and capable really opened up opportunities and more enjoyment riding. Thanks again Brett for your customer support throughout the years!"

"We’ve had the Maxwell 24 going into our second full season of riding. Just in case you don’t read any further, buy this bike, you will not regret the confidence boost it gives your young rider while trying a new sport. I also believe the resale value will be off the charts when it comes time to upgrade to the Maxwell 26. This spring we’ve already done trips to southern Utah, this bike is amazing and performs when the trails turn to black diamonds. The full suspension geometry is just right and allows him to sit and peddle up all but the most steep accessing obstacles he encounters. I can’t say enough good about the full suspensions, first off and most importantly, it allows him the ride with mom and dad, secondly, few encouragements help the little guy more than when much older middle school riders inform him that he should walk his bike down the obstacles and he is able to confidently ride down them. Our last trip to Virgin Utah which consisted of four days of riding with a total mile count of 54 miles, he exclaimed “This Trailcraft is the greatest bike ever, they really make a nice bike, when I get bigger do they make bigger bikes” that says it all. Once again, thank you trailcraft."

"This is our third Trailcraft, my daughter starting on the Bluesky 20″, then Pineridge Carbon 24″, now the Maxwell 26″. She’s 8 years old and 52″ (4’4″) tall. She’s a little short to easily straddle/start, but she’s an experienced rider for her age and races. Once on the bike she’s got great control and is happier than the small 24″ frame. The bike’s higher bottom bracket and longer cranks have made it much easier for climbing, top speed. We miss the lightness of the carbon Pineridge, but when she’s not racing, she’ll hit some serious descents and rooty climbs for her age. The rear suspension and slacker head tube was what tipped us from a Timber 26″."

"This bike is rad! My son is 9 and 4’8”, about 75lbs. He’s been ripping the trails on this like never before. He fly’s with confidence off the jumps, so he’s riding faster. He can actually climb most of the spots to earn it too. He absolutely loves this bike and now he asks to go ride every day, even in 30 degrees he didn’t care. Little dude can ride with dad now on real trails, doing real jumps.. it may be expensive, but the hours of laughs and fun are absolutely priceless. You won’t regret this bike for your kid."

- David Sinclair

"This bike is outstanding! The Trailcraft folks designed a very thoughtful frame design for kids who pedal more than use gravity. But the bike can also rip on downhills The bike just works. And works very well. XC race on Saturday and shuttle runs on Sunday – no problem. We ordered 2 custom Maxwells last fall and the trail possibilities opened WAY UP from their 24″ hard tail trail bikes. If you’re on the fence, just do it. You won’t regret it. Brett was fantastic to deal with and we have two very happy 10yr old girl rippers! Thanks for making awesome bikes!"
