GT El Centro 18
GT Markets the El Centro 18 as an expert level street and park bike for riders under from the ages of 8-13. With its slightly smaller wheels and shorter frame, the Centro 18 is designed to make it easier for junior riders to jump the jumps and flow the skate park.
GT gave the El Centro 18 a steel frame a fork assembly, for kid-approved levels of toughness. Its great peace of mind for any parent generous enough to lay down the $350 going price for an 18 that it wont wind up in the garage two weeks later as the victim of a pothole. Should the future X-treem sports champion decide to go airborne, stout Alex rims and 3-piece tubular-chromoly GT cranks will help to ensure that the el Centro lands in one piece. Versatility is the name of the game with this junior grinder: grind pegs and an SST Oryg cable de-tangler make this bike just as shred-able as its bigger brothers while giving full street and cruise capability and comfort.
Any kid who knows what to do with a bike will in all likelihood be tearing up the neighborhood in no time with the El Centro 18. With all the strength, versatility and “bad factor” of Centros larger offerings, even the largest talent can express itself without falling off the seat.
