We went with the Commencal based on minimum seat height, and I can get it pretty close to where he's at on his Hotrock 12" now. My little guy is about to turn 4 and is a little short for his age. Unfortunately for me, the cleary is a much bigger bike than the commencal despite the same wheelsize. In my mind it is the goldilocks bike between the banshee and the commencal as far as value, weight, and features. There are also the Cleary bikes but I don't know if they're available in Canada. If the Ramones were available back then it would have been the higher BB version so the Spawn would have won out. We'd be on our third summer of use with it right now and I think it would have been worth every penny. I don't have experience with either bike but if I could go back in time I would've bought the Spawn when my boys were at the 16" bike size. Something to think about if you have a strong opinion one way or the other. My boys have short legs relative to their torsos so I would tend to go on the shorter side. If you read through other discussions, some parents prefer to go a bit shorter and others a bit longer. The theme of 10% of total height is often mention so at 43" and 45" tall, recommended crank length would be 109 mm and 114 mm respectively. Plus, my kids like the color of the Commencal unit and we all know how important that is lol.
Can anyone enlighten me on the quality and performance of the Commencal machine in comparison to the Spawn? I've found little review info on the Commencal vs the Spawn machine. The only read difference is the Spawn Cycle is about 1-2lbs lighter.but also about $200 more. Both have v-brakes, aluminum frame and good components. To the best of my knowledge, they appear to be similar spec. I'd like to get something with hand brakes, not coaster.so these are my 2 options.Ĭommencal Ramones 16 or the Spawn Cycle Banshee 16. I'm from Canada, and the Spawn Cycles Banshee gets high praise from almost everyone who talks about it. I'd like to get them a good first bike.(i've seen the tanks they call bikes at box stores) but I know they will quickly outgrow them, so I don't want to spend to much. Both kids are roughly the same size, 43-45" tall 45lbs.
