Road Bike or Hybrid or Cyclocross for 9.5 YO

We bought a hybrid for my 9yr old daughter last year and it works well. .....she will be strong when we get her a roadie or cross bike.

Yes, I'm thinking the hybrid is the way to go. I changed the tires & pedals on his mtn bike, but he really wants something faster.

jelee1311, did your daughter feel a significant performance difference with the hybrid?

I don't think the Vita is for jumping curbs. It's not fragile, but it's not a mountain bike.
I would get him a hybrid, with skinny tires. That should suffice until he has grown a little more. And you don't have to be so perfect with the fitting, as with a road bike.
