Description
The Pineridge 24 Carbon presents an ideal lightweight hardtail solution for riders measuring between 4'1" and 4'7". Featuring a carbon frame weighing under 1000g, it stands as the pinnacle of excellence in the realm of 24" hardtail mountain bikes. Meticulously crafted to mirror the performance of adult-level bikes, it offers unrivaled quality in a scaled-down format suitable for young riders. Configurations begin at just under 19 pounds, with the top-of-the-line X01 AXS electronic shifting build option paired with carbon wheels, setting a new benchmark in premium biking experiences.
Our Trailcraft Carbon 24 wheelset upgrade option (ELITE and GX AXS builds only) features a 27mm external and 22mm internal rim width:
- The rear wheel weighs 662 grams.
- The front wheel weighs 478 grams.
- Excluding skewers and tape, the total weight amounts to 1140 grams.
The 24-inch wheel size serves as the foundational stage where children develop crucial riding skills that will resonate throughout their mountain biking journey. It's during this phase that they spend the most time on a bike, typically spanning three full years for riders measuring 4'1" in height.
We prioritize excellence by equipping the Pineridge 24 Carbon with the finest components available. With ongoing advancements in component technology, we continually refine our bikes to shed even more weight. For those seeking the lightest possible setup, we offer the option to upgrade to a carbon wheelset, further enhancing the bike's performance and agility on the trails.

We loved our Blue Sky 20 and so doubled down when it was time to get a 24″ bike. Went with the Pineridge 24 Carbon. Bike is super responsive and amazingly light for her. The front fork works exceptionally for such light little people. She’s instantly faster on it as a 48″ almost 7 yr old (the size is a little stretch for her, but she’s happier on it than the 20″ at this point). The 1×12 provides huge range. We should probably have gotten the next chain ring size up. I’d recommend to any serious little rider.

Best money spent! My very small 8y/o daughter, 47″ and 40lbs loves her new bike. We had to cut the seat post to lower a bit, but she is going great and feels much more secure on the technical trails we have around Grand Junction.
