- With versatile on-road/off-road tires and a bump-smoothing suspension fork, Trail 24 is built to chase adventure, wherever the trail may lead
- Bright, fresh and eye-catching, because for kids, a fun bike is one that looks great
- Sized to fit kids' anatomies, with a smaller handlebar and grips, kid-specific seat and pedals sized for kids' feet
- 24 in. wheels offer a great blend of speed, handling and proper fit for riders between 4 ft. 1 in. and 4 ft. 6 in. (124 cm to 137 cm)
- Durable lightweight alloy frame, because a light bike is easier to handle and more fun to ride (bike weighs no more than 30 to 40% of a child's weight)
- Kid-correct reach keeps kids in comfortable control of the bike
- Kid-correct stand-over height makes it easier for kids to get on and off the bike
- Bump-smoothing front-suspension 50 mm fork
- Wide-range 8-speed gearing with a light-action shifter that's made for smaller hands
- Kid-correct gearing—lower gearing and shorter crankarms are right for shorter, less powerful legs, with a narrower Q-Factor (width) for a more natural stance
