No traction with those tires.

@Bizutch. For a 6 years old kid which doesn't live close to a bike park, no need of traction for the rear. Rolling resistance and light wheels is the most important. You understand that very fast when you spend 50% of your time pushing your kid uphill

Those tires don't suck, my 12yo son rode a 24" hardtail with those tires (front & rear) at Northstar's Live WIre & Gypsy this summer!

In NC, in the bike park...they do. Maxxis Snyper is better, but not great.

Side knobs on all of them are what is real bad.

Maxxis Snyper => 655g for a 20 inches tire, that's nearly the weight of a 27.5" Schwalbe Rocket Ron SnakeSkin !
Mow Joe & Small Black 8 => 380g each, perfect for the need and the terrain we ride.
The only thing to change on this bike is the MRP fork. It just doesn't work under 60kg... So imagine with a 18kg kid. Common issue for Kid's bike suspension.
Very disappointed by this expensive product. I'm currently considering the carbon Propain fork but I'm looking for some feedbacks before to go for it.

@yeti116 My daughter rode the 20" Lil Shredder at the bike park here and those BMX style tires wouldn't grip the banked berms or the leaves in the steeper sections because the side knobs are so tiny. Weight isn't our issue...falling down is. If you go to a 24", the Snyper comes in a lightweight, folding bead and the wire bead. Have it on my oldest's trail bike and it's awesome in the folding bead. Haven't pulled trigger on the Snyper in the 20", but didn't realize it was wire bead only.

I felt like the biggest issue on the 20" Lil Shredder is that it pretty much needed footpegs instead of cranks because she banged the cranks everywhere on everything and even bit the dirt hard on her last run on just a tiny rut in the trail from a pedal strike. Pedaling that bike is useless and in a bike park, you'd be better off just mounting a rod on the BB on each side. :-)

From what I've been told, the White Brothers speced at one point was the only 20" fork that was functional for wee ones.

I agree with Yeti116 on the tire issue. My son (12) rides a 24" hardtail with the Kenda Small Block tires that he rode at the Northstar bike park and Truckee bike park and absolutely loved it! Granted its not the best for seriously loose conditions but its grip on rock ledges and hero dirt is the best we've found for a reasonably light 24" tire.

Regarding the fork - I built a 20" custom mtb bike and used a Echo 20: trials fork that I picked up from Webcyclery. I think you can get them with either v-brake bosses, or caliber mounts for disc brakes. The Echo fork will slacken the head tube angle but its still better than any cheap 20" suspension fork, and its lighter too!

From reviews of the transition Ripcord, the Kenda Kinetic 24" is a great gripping tire, but its not sold online or through BTI/Hawley and not listed on the Kenda website. You can find mention of the tire on Trials websites, but no purchase option.

Very interesting discussion !
Thxs guys for the contribution. So rare to talk with guys having experience on this little bikes.
Appreciated

Fully agree with you regarding the low bottom bracket. Even with a 155mm crankset, lot of pedal strikes.
Just got an email from Lil. They now sell (325$) their own fork and it is 1" taller. Not sure this will solve most of the pedal strikes, but a good move in my opinion.

Thxs for the proposal regarding the tire. As mentioned, different usage. My son still have to go uphill and ride more natural trails. Most important is that the front doesn't rip. For that, the Mow Joe is pretty good in my opinion. In lose conditions, for sure, Small Block is not the best. But this is as well part of the learning.

for 20" tires you might try the Maxxis Maxdaddy in 2.0. It's got a bit more "knob" to it, but its sorta heavy. several area available on eBay.
