It's a little smaller and a little lighter, and that can make a huge difference. And actually, this is the bike that will be arriving this week for my 11 yo.
I agree with what Britt is saying here. IMO, you shouldn't be looking for a bike with lightning. The temptation to ride on the street and/or at night might be too great. Best to keep safe and legal. And yes, I'm speaking from experience. Got caught by the police driving on the road at your age. They didn't care that I was just "using the road to get from trail to trail."
