Pros: seat tube and headset painted anti-rust black, sold in a great colour!, aluminium wheel rims, black wheel hubs - to match seat tube
Cons: frame is heavy, seat post adjustment is not quick-release
"A boy's bike, bought for my daughter, it ticks all the boxes.
Most of the components aren't tour-de-france material, but they all work fine - it seems pretty sturdy too. The frame is rather heavy, but I would expect this on a bike that is to be thrown around, jumped over kerbs etc."

"As a family we have never had any other thought than to purchase Apollo bikes. They are sturdy & fantastic value.
The built in store service is an added bonus and saves at least an hour faffing around putting pedals on etc. Yes the gears might not be set up just so or the seat quite the right height but these are ongoing adjustments that come from owning a bike."

"Exactly what my eight year old son wanted - it is slightly big for him but in a month or two it will fit him perfectly. He is finding gears stiff but I assume they will loosen with time."

Pros: cheap and cheerful
Cons: thin tyres, basic brake system
"Good bike to learn how to use and change gears but you get what you pay for and the tyres are not brilliant quality and you need to be prepared for punctures if your child, like mine, preferes cycling off road."

Pros: quality at a great price
Cons: a stand would have been useful
"Was in two minds whether or not to buy this as thought the price was too good to be true. After popping along to local Halfords I was surprised that the quality was much better than many of the other models we looked at. Would definitely recommend this - my son loves it!"

Pros: looks good, sturdy, brilliant value
Cons: non
"Bought for my grandsons 11th birthday and he was thrilled to bits with the bike - loves the colour! He will have a couple of years out of this so it will be great value. Seems really sturdy - my husband put together with no problems at all. Would definitely recommend this - we bought it because of all the good reviews we read and and are really glad we did. Ordered online and reserved at shop to receive 10% discount too - even better value!!!"
