Trek Superfly 20 Initial Review – Cool Kit for the Kiddies or Dad Reliving Childhood Dreams?

You remember it don’t you? It was a defining moment, for some of you it was THE defining moment. It changed everything.  Since then you have spent thousands of dollars on kit, yet one piece of kit was the ultimate game changer. You spent thousands of dollars in gas and day passes and for great rides, yet there was one ride changed everything. No mountain biking dollars have ever been better spent than those that bought your first real mountain bike. No ride has ever matched that first real ride.  This past week my son had that moment.

Introducing the newest steed in our collection: The Trek Superfly 20.  Read below to the break to see  my initial impressions

Before reviewing I’d like to give a shout out to Bikeworks  in Sylvania Ohio. They beat all the online prices by coming in well under Trek’s MSRP of $419.99. I did not mention online shopping or bicker about price they simply named a good price and ordered the bike for me. Nothing gives you that warm fuzzy “I’m not getting screwed feeling” than a dealer who beats all prices without you having to exert any pressure on them. I’m not going to publish the purchase price but check with your LBS before you go to the online retailer for any complete bike purchase.  (Side note: Trek Bikes must be purchased in a shop, all online retailers will require you to pick the bike up from their location.)

First Impression

First impression of the bike was a little surreal. In northwest Ohio higher end children’s mountain bikes are a low demand item and not typically a part of the showroom stock. I knew how the bike was spec’d before I ordered but when I saw an oversized headtube, oversized bars, beautiful welds, burly looking little frame, legitimate wheels and tires all under 20lbs I was taken by surprise. The local mechanics were beaming about it too.  We see plenty of top end adult mountain bikes around here and have grown accustomed to walking right past them, but the shop mechanics and shoppers alike were shocked by this little bike. Again we are in Ohio where the only nice bikes kids usually ride are BMX. A 20″ bike that can legitimately be called a mountain bike is an anomaly here in the plains. First impression was a win. (EDIT: I screwed up weighing and originally stated the weight at 17.2 lbs, the true weight is 19.2 still significantly under the competition)

The frame is an “Alpha” aluminum frame which mimics Trek’s adult Superfly line. The welds look quality and everything looks burly. The geometry is specific to children with a low stand over height.  My six year old is average size for his age and has ample clearance. The bike is low enough for him to get on and seems long enough to allow for some growth. This is not unique to Trek, the other major manufacturers also boast children’s specific geometry. The fork is rigid which was the primary reason I chose this bike over the equivalent priced Cannondale. A child can learn on a rigid bike, and when you consider the quality and weight of sprung forks on children’s trail bikes it seemed a no brainer to me to go rigid.  Trek seems to understand this as well. Their lower end 20″ kids mountain bikes have suspension up front, but their flagship Superfly 20″ is rigid. The fork, like the frame, is Alpha Aluminum with the dropouts welded completly around and machined. The head tube is oversized and houses a threadless headset like your typical adult bike.

A short Bontrager Race Lite, 31.8mm, 7 degree stem holds Bontrager Low Riser 31.8mm 15mm rise bars. Thin Kraton grips provide a comfortable interface between your little rider and the bike.  Joey’s average sized 6 year old mitts fit comfortably on the bars.  The brake levers are designed for kids, the throw can be adjusted very close to the bars and they still pull enough cable to actuate the generic v-brakes with tragic endo force (we experienced this once already). The shifting is handled by a 6 speed Shimano Tourney Twist shifter.

The drivetrain is a 1×6 setup with the chain being guided up front in typical kids bike bashguardlike fashion. A Shimano Tourney TX35 derailleur handles the shifting in the rear. Remember this is still a bike retailing at $419, the derailleur reflects that price point. The size of the derailleur leaves enough ground clearance which is a real concern when you are riding 20″ wheels.  With that said, the lower pulley does ride much closer to the ground than your adult bike, so if you get into what you think is low field grass, be aware that your little one’s bike might still be pulling stuff into its drivetrain. I don’t believe that is avoidable.  The crank set is an alloy three piece set with a 32 tooth chain ring, again appropriate for the price point, and more than adequate for the 45-100lbs of rider weight it’s meant to support. The cassette is a Sun Run 14t-28t.  The range of gearing is wide enough to tackle steep hills and still spin at 20 mph on the high end. The gear spacing is wide enough (physical spacing on the cassette) to ensure smooth shifting with minimal adjustment.  We all know how it is when our chain starts to dance between cogs and we adults usually can tweak it in, but for a six year old learning to shift that frustration could be a real game changer. As an aside, I personally would love a 1×6 setup on my own bike. Keep a wide ratio, run a thicker chain, smaller derailleur, and never worry about a finicky setup… who’s with me? Probably nobody, oh well I’ll stand alone on that. The pedals are kids sized nylon pedals. I’m not rushing to replace them, he can wait awhile to earn the deep purple shin scars.

Aluminum machined rims laced to Formula FM21 32 hole hubs appear high quality, and are light weight.  The skewers are a cool looking anodized red.  They are not quick release and require an allen key for wheel changes. This is just one less thing for your kid to mess with. Carry your multi-tool on the trail. You won’t get a six year old to happily push a bike with a flat for very long. The tires are Bontrager 20×1.85 and have a tread pattern that is adequate for the trail, but also seems to acknowledge that your child is going to spend a lot of time on pavement too.

All in all the bike’s set up seems to be well thought out, the componentry it appropriate for children, and a reasonable value for this price point. Plus it looks cool and classy. What boy doesn’t like fire engine red? (Red is the only color offered in America on this bike.)

Riding the Trek Superfly 20

As we get into the actual performance review let me start by naming the elephant in the room. You are going to buy this bike as much for you as you are your six to eight year old. They are clamoring for a bike, but they do not care about an oversized headtube, Alpha Aluminum, or machined breaking surface on their rims. Truth be told it is YOU that wants your kid to have the best, not them. I think that is great! Vicarious living has gotten an undeserved bad name in our society. We should push our kids into things that we know bring joy, it is foolish to make them figure everything out on their own under the guise of giving them ‘freedom’. If we want them to enjoy mountain biking, a nice bike helps.

The first thing I noticed as my son took off on this bike was that he looked like a mountain biker and not a little kid on a BMX bike. If he were far enough away and not around anything to gauge size against you’d be hard pressed to tell whether he was a kid on a 20″ or an adult on a 26″. This is to say that this really is a mountain bike and you can expect your child to be positioned like a trail rider. Joey’s handlebars are about level with his seat and as he grows and we raise the seat his riding position will become even more ‘adult’.  Even with seat and bars level this is a significant departure from the department store hand-me-down BMX bike he learned to ride on. I presume that most people in the market for this type of bike have a child that is coming off of a 12″ or 16″ wheeled bike.  Note that their riding position will be significantly different.  Fortunately kids adapt quickly, in Joey’s case the adaptation was instant.

The first hurdle we faced was using hand brakes instead of the coaster brake. Trek spec’d generic v-brakes and their ‘Dialed’ levers. This spec is more than enough to stop all 58lbs of my son on a dime. Strong brakes made the transition from coaster to hand brakes seamless. Disk brakes would have been a nice addition just for the ease of adjustment, but as far as stopping power they would be entirely unnecessary.

The next hurdle was learning how to shift.  The Shimano Tourney Twist fits his hand perfectly and was easy for him to turn. I tried not to explain too much about shifting right away to him, instead I told him to play with it while he pedaled. Again, kids adapt and learn quicker than we do. When we got out of the parking lot into soft grass I watched him downshift, when we were on pavement he’d upshift. He figured it out with ease. It is helpful that there are not too many gears to think about, and the shifting is spot on so far. The 1×6 spec is perfect for a young child learning to ride.

After getting a feel for the bike I took him down a local canal trail that has a number of small sections of single track going off of the sides of it.  It was like a whole new world opened to him, and I could see in his eyes that moment… the moment that we all chase… the joy of the first real ride.  Some of these single track sections have slightly tricky climbs, at least tricky enough that I didn’t expect a six year old to make it.  He climbed them no problem.  In large part I give credit to the bike.  Unlike most kids bike offerings, even from brands like Specialized and Cannondale, this bike weighs well under 20lbs (19.2lbs).  When the rider weighs under 60 every pound is significant on a climb. The fact that the 6 speed drive train can handle terrible shifting, the bike is super stiff, and the geometry places him in a proper riding position are huge helps as well.

Descending hills was where we ran into the most trouble. Joey got a little scared at one point and hammered the brakes (did I mention they have ample power), and he took his first trip over the bars. He got over it quickly and got right back at it. I looked over the bike when we got back to the van, nothing appeared to come out of adjustment.  As our ride progressed he began riding faster and faster, both on climbs and descents. A well thought out, well built piece of equipment makes the learning curve much faster.

Cruising around on pavement was pretty impressive as well.  Running in the 14 tooth cog Joey was able to touch close to 20mph, a serious rush for a 6 year old.  He’s already taken it off ramps and over curbs, through mud, and even managed already to get a tire puncture back in a construction area. The bike seems to tell him that he can do anything, and I think the bike is telling the truth.

As a dad I’m proud, and at this point I think the purchase was a total win.  Of course time will tell, and I will check back in at the end of the summer to tell you how this bike held up to a year of use.

If you are having a hard time justifying $419 for a kids bike, I can understand that.  I’d just say this to those who might hitch at that cost; compare it to a video game system with enough games to keep your kid’s interest, or an iPad or iPod with enough apps to be worthwhile. Often those devices drive a wedge between you and your child, and still cost as much, if not more than the bike. This purchase will have the opposite effect on you and your child’s relationship. The Mountain Bike Life lived together with your children is priceless. After that first ride you won’t question the purchase price again.

Trek superfly 20 - 19lbs

• Add to quote

I purchased a Trek Superfly 20 for my 7 y/o son 48". I was planning on getting him a 24" bike but after watching him on it, I felt it was too big and he was too stretched out to handle it. One of the criteria I had was I wanted it to be sub 20lbs and no front shock, since at 50 lbs, what good is it. Now if the trails would melt.  

Nice option for a decently trailworthy off the shelf 20" bike. I like that they built an alloy V-brake rigid 20" fork for this rather than specing a cheap boat anchor of a suspension fork. Are the hubs quick release or nutted?  

hex nut with a quick release looking cover.  

This is a great bike! We got my son one as well. I wrote a detailed review of it here if you are interested. I think it is lighter than 19lbs. I weighed Joey's and it came it a hair over 17. The Mountain Bike Life: Trek Superfy 20 Initial Review - Cool Kit for the Kiddies or Dad Reliving Childhood Dreams?  

The geometry of this bike is not listed on Trek's website. Could Crotched or Jmiklovic measure the horizontal top tube and post it in this thread? Thanks.  

Not sure the proper way to measure. It is 15.5" weld to weld 17.25" seat tube center to head tube center  

That was actual not "effective" I can check the effective later tonight if you want  

Yeah or I could snap a pic of how to measure effective (aka horizontal) top tube on my kids Hotrock 16 later. Then you could try to duplicate that on the Trek. Have you ever seen a Cannondale Street 20 in person?  

Any further feedback or opinions on this Trek Superfly 20 bike? I am looking at getting a new bike for a kid who is 50 inches (127 cm tall) with a 21 inch (54 cm) inseam? Current bike is an Islabikes Cnoc 16 and Islabikes has changed the policy and no longer deliver where I am, so I need to find a different option. This bike seems fairly similar, seems light, but I am not sure about its quality and I dont know much about this Shimano Tourney gearing it has. I have another kid 3 years younger who will eventually inherit the bike, so quality + lightweight matters in this case and am willing to pay more for that, as long as the quality is there.

Thanks, but if I understand correctly, the Trek Superfly is an 18 lb bike? That's where the Islabike 20" size bike comes in and that's about the weight range I am looking for, plus as said, quality components and build. A 22 lb build I think would includes some unnecessary weight for a bike of this size to be ridden by a kid. I'm willing to pay a bit more for something good AND light, but for the money I want both of those things to be there.  

I just bought a 20" Islabike for my daughter. If that wasn't available, I would have gone to the Superfly without a second thought. It's a much better option than the Specialized.  

We took a trip to the bike store today to check out the Superfly. Weight was good and build quality seemed pretty solid. On the other hands, it seems the crank arms were a little bit long for the size and pedal position again a little bit wider than what was right for the child. Saddle on the bulky side but probably comfy. Bike was priced right up exactly same as Islabikes charges - although it is maybe one notch below. Will think it over a bit and decide.  

Made the purchase in the end. Will throw in some feedback here. Seems to have been a good buy so far. Kid has taken to the bike like a duck to water. This was a step up in size from the previous bike (Islabikes CNOC 16) but all has gone very smoothly. No complaints all. There was a bit of unexplained ticking sound initially from the rear, but that sound has gone away. One small concern is that the rear derailleur hangs a bit low for my liking, so we'll see how this pans out in the long run. Overall am satisfied with the Superfly 20. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a solid but lightweight bike and does not want to deal with Islabikes' newly inflated egos.  

I got my daughter a Superfly 24 D! She's only 5 years old but already out performs her GT 20" and definitely needed the upgrade. It is big for her so I swapped stems for a Race Face Respond 45mm instead of the stock Bontrager 60mm and a Truvativ Bar 580mm with no rise. I also swapped for a shorter seat moved all the way forward. She handles the bike like it's a part of her. It's still a little large for her as she's only 49" tall but this bike has drastically improved her bike skills. Now she loves Rock Gardens and Stream Crossings. With the front Suspension and Hydraulic Brakes she's much more confident and a lot faster with 24 vs 20. The bike weighs in at 26.7lbs. A bit on the heavy side for a HT but all kids bike are heavy..... she hasn't noticed the difference in weight, only how much more she can do on her new bike. Plus it matches my Superfly 100 PRO......... not that it matters or anything..... it's just cool!  

My wife was in San Diego and called me from a bike shop that had one in stock. I had her make a few measurements and compare the bike to other 20" kids bikes in stock and felt comfortable it would be a good fit for our son. At first I was thinking we'd just order one from our local Scheels, which is the only Trek dealer in our town, but the shop was so helpful to my wife and still had the box so we just had them pack it up and she brought it back on the airplane. The bike was listed at $50 off and the shop charged nothing for packing so it worked out great for us. We've had some lousy weather so not a lot of ride time here but the bike is nice and is the best 20" kids bike I've seen in person. Shop weighed it at 19 lbs. Most of the components seem nice. I think the drivetrain is the weak link and where I'll look to upgrade this winter. He's not a fan of the grip shift and the bars are a bit wide and they will be my near future changes. My boys are short legged so I do wish that Trek had done a bit more to lower standover but you can't have everything.  

CJH - If you're talking about Trek Bicycle Superstore, they are awesome! Huge inventory and great Clearance prices. I got my Superfly 100 pro from them..... $1400 off retail. I too modified my kids superfly to fit her better. standover sucks on all kids bikes. Cannondale makes a 24 with a slightly lower standover for future reference but the superfly 24 is a much better bike. Enjoy!

Just because there's very little info out there on this bike, I thought I'd bump this thread with my experiences thus far after owning the bike for a few weeks. My son is 47 inches tall, and 5 1/2 years old, if that helps anyone. Came from a Spawn Banshee which he will still use for general shenanigans, but he is rather mechanically oriented and so he's been begging for multiple gears, plus we wanted the larger wheels for better handling over the rough stuff when on singletrack. The stock 150mm crank is absolutely ridiculous, I am not sure why Trek went there when they otherwise put a lot of thought into this bike. Until we had the crank issue sorted out we borrowed the 102mm, 28T crank from the Banshee. This actually was sweet gearing for off-road, but on the flats he was spinning out in the hardest gear. We ultimately ended up doing the following: -Sinz 120mm crank -34T ring (smallest available) -14-34 MegaRange 6 spd freewheel (done so he'd still have a nice gear for steep stuff even going from 28T to 34T up front) -40mm Kona stem (takeoff from LBS owner's Process 153DL) -Problem Solvers chain guide -Specialized side entry bottle cage -better bottom bracket, the stock one is crap As it sits, with spare tube, it weighs 19.11 lbs. We're ok with that, it's at a weight where we don't need to go crazy with weight weenie stuff. Only other thing we might change out are the tires, only for something bigger and knobbier, we frequently ride a flow trail made largely of shale. These work ok though and roll good on pavement. Overall, very happy with the bike. We were also looking at Cleary (loved it but wanted multiple gears), Isla (can't put larger tires on), and Spawn Savage (super nice and I can see where the money went in it's higher price, but much of that isn't needed by us. We are fine with Vbrakes, and the shifter and derailer on the Trek work just fine).

Nice! I'm jealous of the rigid V-brake fork you have on that thing. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get rid of the heavy SR Suntour fork off of our MT60.  

If your 20" or 24" kids bike has a suspension anchor(fork), all you need is a BMX or BMX cruiser fork to convert it.  

Thanks for creating this thread, Ordered my son one this morning!  

Cool! Just make sure you get a shorter crank. Easiest way is to have the shop swap it out for the one with two pedal holes that comes on the cheaper Trek MTB. But I love the setup we have.  

^That's interesting. We haven't experienced that (yet), but we did run a shorter stem right off the bat. The head angle is 70 degrees, I haven't looked at the head angle of others except I just looked at the Specialized Hotrock 20 and it has a 69 degree head angle, I'm sure there's more to handling than just that number though.  

Any issue bolting up the 14-34 mega range? Did you have to add links to the chain?  

Oh, sorry! Forgot to look at this thread for a while. I honestly forget. I think no because we went to a smaller ring on front and it evened out?  

Wait I'm sorry I just revisited that comment I made and it didn't make sense. I know this is a few months late but I think we put a new chain on.  

Resurrecting an old thread here... I'm upgrading my son's Superlfy 20 that's getting handed down to my daughter. Frames currently with a friend for fresh paint. While he has it I was working on ordering to new parts. The bottom bracket is measuring 128.. to the ends of the taper, which seems ridiculous. What bottom bracket size did you all install? I'll probably go with some 120mm crank arms as well.

I needs to have this done too, but I couldn't find anyone who could do it and so gave up and just bought new ones. Did you use special tools to do yours? I've heard some people just use a hand drill.

Trek Superfly review

Proven and well-natured performer

justin loretz

Trek, or more specifically Gary Fisher, were the first big name to really ‘get’ 29ers. This understanding of the big-wheel phenomenon is clear from their design philosophy. Their bikes look different and ride differently to other 29ers.

• Highs: The Superfly is easy to ride fast and easy to ride slow
• Lows: It needs a bigger front tyre
• Buy if... You want a go-anywhere, do-anything racer with upgrade potential

Trek’s commitment to carbon is one of the longest-standing in the industry. Their Optimum Compaction Low Void (OCLV) monocoques have 20 years of iterative tweaks to offer frames that are stiff, light and blessed with a comfort factor that makes many other bikes feel like church pews.

Gary Fisher’s G2 geometry reduces trail (the distance between a line to the floor through the centreline of the steerer and a line falling vertically to the ground), which Trek use to increase steering stability. Many mountain bikers like this characteristic, as it enhances performance and confidence on steep or loose surfaces. Add in a tapered head tube for a stiffer front end and a wide, strong, press-fit BB90 bottom bracket, and the Superfly frame is ready for your power.

The Shimano transmission and brakes mix eye-catching XT rear and SLX front derailleurs, a non-series triple chainset, SLX brakes and that solid workhorse, a RockShox Reba fork. The rest of the bike is a trip through the Bontrager catalogue, with everything from grips to tyres from the Trek component arm. No one liked the overuse of blue anodising, which cheapens an otherwise tidy bike. We’d like a slightly more aggressive front tyre too.

All of our testers commented upon the Superfly's easy-riding nature. It goes exactly where it’s pointed, exploiting whatever grip the fast-rolling 2.2in Bontrager 29-1 tyres can find. The Trek gets you doing the basics right – climbing in the saddle without having to over reach, carving turns, railing around uphill switchbacks and letting you take liberties on line choice. Not having to jig about in the saddle to bring both wheels into play is refreshing.

This bike has a proven track record for performance, with the same frame being ridden to numerous World Cup podium spots. That the Trek was also popular with less experienced riders speaks volumes – it has a true pedigree not just as a speed machine, but for riding on dirt. There are more glamorous bikes, but few that ride as well as the Superfly.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
