If you can find one, the big hit grom is the best of the bunch. My son tried a Commencal Supreme 24 and the Stinky 2-4 this summer and they were a lot slower than his Grom. I would definitely try for air suspension as well, most coil forks/shocks are way too hard for young kids.

Big Hit Grom

What fork and shock are you running (can't tell from the pic on my phone)? Thanks!

Is that the stock colorway? The one I picked up for my daughter is an '08 ish and has this psychedelic purple Eskimo thing going on it...

The black looks sharp!

No it's not stock. I bought one and just kept the frame and rear shock. Stripped and powdercoated satin black and replaced all the parts. It's got saint drivetrain, race face cranks and bars, formula The One brakes and a Rockshox sid xx blackbox fork. A lot lighter and a better build then what it came with
