The Storm Youth 20 is for kids roughly in the 6–9 age range who are ready to move beyond a basic beginner bike and start riding real trails. The disc brakes and suspension fork make a genuine difference on mixed terrain — riders get predictable, reliable stopping power and a fork that soaks up roots and rocks without jarring their hands. The Shimano GripShift makes gear changes intuitive for kids still developing hand strength. It's a bike that won't hold a young rider back as their skills develop.

Q1: What size is the Norco Storm Youth 20, and will it fit my child?

The Storm Youth 20 is designed for riders approximately 4'2"–4'8" tall [VERIFY] — roughly ages 6–9, though every child is different. The most reliable way to check fit is to have your child straddle the bike in person. Come into either Fresh Air location and our team will assess the fit, set the saddle height, and make sure your child is comfortable and safe before you ride out.

Q2: Is the Norco Storm Youth 20 right for Mission Creek Greenway and family trail riding in Kelowna?

Yes — the Storm Youth 20 is well-suited to Mission Creek Greenway, Knox Mountain's family-friendly trails, and the Okanagan Rail Trail. The 63mm suspension fork smooths out roots and gravel, and the Tektro disc brakes give kids reliable, consistent stopping power in all weather conditions. It handles everything from paved paths to light singletrack comfortably.

Q3: How do I know when my child has outgrown their bike?

The most common signs are: your child's knees are hitting the handlebars when pedalling, they can no longer raise the saddle high enough to get a good leg extension, or the reach to the bars feels cramped. As a general guide, kids move from 20" to 24" wheels around ages 8–10, though height and leg length matter more than age. Our team at Fresh Air can assess fit in person and help you decide when it's time to size up — come in to either location.
