Which Size Trials Bike Is Best For You? 20" vs 24" vs 26"

The size of your trials bike can play a massive difference in not only your ability to progress quickly, but also which terrain and techniques you can do on the bike. Not everyone has room for a quiver of multiple trials bikes in their garage, so I've put together a list of benefits and disadvantages to each one of the three trials size and style bikes.

First, we'll start with the mod bike - a 20" wheel bike that is purpose built for super technical terrain mixed with massive movements. If the benefits of this bike get you fired up, check out my First Ride video with my new Clean mod bike here:    • Does The Dream Bike Live Up To Its Name? C...  

Next, moving on to the Inspired Fourplay Pro - a 24" street trials bike that is an all-around bike to dabble in a little of everything. The strengths and weaknesses are relatively obvious on this one, making it arguably the best "starter" trials size bike to get rolling with. However, the drawbacks and disadvantages of this bike may eventually stop your progression short if you plan to progress to the peak of pure trials riding. Most of my tutorials are filmed on this bike, since it can handle nearly any foundational trials movement.

Lastly, the 26" competition bike - like a big brother to the mod bike, but with some specific advantages. I rode this bike in the "Moto vs Bike Trials" segment, check that out here:    • Moto Trial vs Bike Trial  

As I said in the intro, I can't make the decision for you on which is the right bike - but hopefully the insight here will help you make the call on the right size trials bike for you.
