Not long now until the big fat guy with a white beard comes and my 6yr old is desperate for a bike off him. Been looking at the Orbea MX20 dirt, are they any good ?

Yes, my 7 year old daughter has the 20 and my 10 year old daughter has the 24.
Well made, light compared with others and have been very reliable. Needed a wheel tweaked after a couple of shunts but apart from that have been great. Not many around my way so its good to see something other than hotrocks or Isla bikes which seem the norm in these woods.

Yep my lad has one and it's been great, like above, well made and reasonably light. Gears are decent, i did changed the brakes but only because i had some better ones lying around. I wish they did a disc braked 24" version as my lad will be moving up a size before the summer.

Bought one for my 6yo (now 7)last Christmas very good bike all and looks lovely in red, also large ex-pander cog type gear on the cassette means he can spin up hill when tired.

Did look at the frog 55 but been told that they have been putting lesser quality components on them just recently

My son has one also (6, now nearly 7) - very good and he loves it! gears are normal shifters not grip shift which he likes and the low range cog on the cassette is great for getting up hills. Since having it he constantly wants me to take him out at QECP and Swinley.
