We have an Orbea MX20 for our girl (7yrs) there is a 24" wheeled version as well and verious levels of kit. I think they compare fairly well on build, spec, price and weight.

We were originally going to get the Islabikes equivalent but it was too much hastle with their bizarre policy of not shipping to Europe.

I bought my lad an islabike recently. Great bike, but clincher for me was seeing resale values at close to new price. I'm not sure it would be the same for other brands
