We recommend the Kiapalno III for teens and adults who want a simple, affordable 26 inch mountain bike. Hycline lists a high-carbon steel frame, wide 2.125 inch puncture-resistant tires, a suspension system, dual disc brakes and a Shimano 21-speed drivetrain. At 35.28 lb it is on the lighter side for a budget steel bike, and the 18 inch frame is listed for riders from 5'4" to 5'9", so it fits a smaller rider than most bikes in this price range.
Where it fits.
What stands out
- An 18 inch frame fits riders from 5'4" to 5'9", which suits teens and shorter adults.
- Wide 2.125 inch tires add grip and stability on dirt and gravel.
- Dual disc brakes give dependable stopping in wet and dry.
- A 21-speed Shimano drivetrain and a suspension system suit mixed riding.
Before you buy
- It is sized for a narrower rider range than the 22 inch frames elsewhere in the category.
- A steel frame is heavier than aluminum.
- Shop-check the brakes and gears after the 85% assembly.
