Specialized did an excellent job keeping standover low on the new Riprock. Our 20" sits 10mm taller, but this is because of the suspension fork. Our 24" sits 20mm taller, but with an equal travel fork. We tried a bend in the top tube, but in order to hold the strength we needed to thicken the tubing. We opted for the lighter weight frame and the straight tube because we feel that weight for a kid's bike is crucial. If you noticed, even our less expensive model beats the Riprocks weight by about a pound. The Heir version that rivals the Riprock Expert in price beats its weight by ~3 pounds. The Junit is a great fork and you will see them on some of our future models. However, its price point is too high for this model.
