Is Unistar DX too heavy for my 12 yo son?

He’s pretty light

What kind of uni does he have now? How soon will he grow bigger would you guess? At 78 lbs, he might be better off on a lighter cheaper, non trials uni. The torker dx is the heaviest choice for a trials uni, so perhaps not the best choice for a small rider.
It is possible to get a better price on KH uni’s (the lightest). Read this thread, it has some info from Kris Holm himself.
