20" wheels, 6-speeds, alloy frame, suspension fork, and alloy rims provide kids with the perfect reason to be outside instead of on the sofa watching cartoons - who needs a TV with a bike as hot as the Octane?
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

So far, happy with it...
Bought this for my daughter. This bike retails for $280 at our local bicycle shop. You get it so much cheaper here because there is some assembly required. Don't worry. It's not so bad. The chain and the rear gears and rear tire come assembled, and seem to be adjusted properly. The fork is already inserted as well. What you will have to install yourself are the handlebars, the front tire, the seat, the reflectors, and you will have to properly adjust the brakes (this is probably the hardest part) and install the brake cables to the brake handle on the handlebar, oh, and cut the excess wire once you are done. I can see why the bike shop charges an extra $80. Probably $40 of that is labor, the rest, well, they have to stay in business. But building it is definitely not impossible. You don't really need any special tools. Just the basics. Allen wrench, a socket wrench set is handy to install the front wheel. Wire cutters to trim the excess wire to the brakes. It comes with the caps so...

One of the few good 20" wheel bike with gears
My son just turned 6 and and outgrew his Lighting McQueen bike. He is average weight and height and could ride his older brother's 20" single speed. Unfortunately, we have some hilly terrain and he had difficulty going up the hills. We started to look for a 20" bike with gears. Looked at all the larger Toys... and many mart stores. Basically there were not many choices. The $100 range bikes were too heavy for him to handle (over 35 lbs.)because they tended to be full suspension bikes with gears. The lighter 20" bikes with gears at the local bike shops were around $300 with or without a front suspension.
The DB Octane on Amazon was just right and in the middle price range. Our built bike weight is almost 25 lbs. with an optional kick stand and bell. Installation was fun with my son's help and took just a little over an hour. The required tools came with the bike. The only tricky part was the front brake adjustment. Just took some patience trying out different adjustments...
Great bike!
First mountain bike for my 9 year old daughter, excellent choice! And, almost $100 cheaper than the local store. Went together easy, adjustments were few and simple. Gears are easy to change.
