Son is nearly 12 and shot up to 5 foot tall recently. His Islabike 26 small is getting a bit small. Wondering whether to get the Islabike 27, the Hoy Bonaly 26, or another Mtb? Bearing in mind he could be adult height in a year’s time!

Got my daughter who is a very lanky 9 year old a Vitus Nucleus 26 of Wiggle (CR do it as well). Its a very well equipped bike, bars are stupid wide (710mm, i've been too lazy to cut them down), air forks, hydraulic discs that actually work and 1x. Daughter is loving it, it's probably a touch too big, but she keeps on growing at a rate of knots.

Have a look, if sizing is good, is def worth a go, plus Wiggle do a no quibbles try it and send it back if not right job.

£450..
