While surpassing most 24" hardtail complete bike weights on the market, our Maxwell 24 full suspension bike boasts 120mm of travel both in the front and rear, providing superior handling and comfort on rough trails. Its category-leading complete bike weight is achieved through meticulous attention to detail and the inclusion of top-shelf components typically found on much more expensive bikes. This is an adult level bike shrunk down to a kids size. Our ultimate goal is to create the lightest production 24” full suspension trail bike, leaving no need for further modifications to make it lighter. With the best components meticulously assembled, we've crafted a bike that allows your kid to spend more time riding and less time worrying about performance tweaks. 4 cool colors in this model  and 3 different bike build levels (including GX AXS electronic shifting!) is unheard of for this level of bike.

With a short 390mm chain-stay length, it's agile and stable at speed, perfect for manuals and conquering obstacles. Internal dropper post compatibility adds versatility. This 120mm trail bike is lighter than most other brands' 24' HARDTAIL offerings, ensuring more smiles per mile on any terrain.
