BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Retrospec Sesh is a kids' BMX bike for 6 to 11-year-olds between four and five feet tall. Parents appreciate the stout build and low price. One parent impressively reports no issues after six months of hard use, while another says it's falling apart after two months; poor assembly could be the culprit. Opinions are also split on the brake's functionality, packaging, and assembly. While most receive the bike well-packaged, some buyers are missing parts. Replacing the uncomfortable seat and grips is recommended to make the Sesh ready to go as a kid's first BMX.
