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.
