Our flagship pro line hardtail. The perfect competitive all rounder for dirt jumping and trail riding. Impressive spec, impressively engineered. Perfect for impressive 8-11 year olds.

The charger 24 is a trail-ready 24" hardtail for young shredders who are serious about mountain biking.

With 120 mm RST air forks, a lightweight yet tough frame and trail-focused geometry, it delivers the control and confidence to handle technical terrain, while a Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain, powerful Tektro hydraulic discs and wide 2.35" tyres keep shifting smooth, braking sharp and grip rock solid. Built to grow with the rider, it’s the perfect partner for kids ready to take on real trails and big adventures.

A performance optimised aluminium frame

The Charger 24’s butted alloy tubes are engineered to stay strong at key stress points while shedding weight everywhere else, so kids get a light bike that can still take big hits. Threaded thru-axles boost stiffness, sliding dropouts allow fit and handling tweaks as they grow, and it comes ready with 2.35" tyres, with room for up to 2.6" when they want even more grip.

Rapid-fire shifters

The Charger 24’s Shimano CUES/Deore 1x10 setup gives young riders all the range they need in a simple, trail-ready package. HyperGlide+ delivers quick, light, precise shifts even under load, while the Shadow+ clutch derailleur helps stop chain slap and slip when they’re hitting bigger lines.

Long, low and slack

The Charger 24’s geometry is tuned for speed, confidence and control when trails get gnarly. A low centre of gravity keeps them planted in berms, a slack head angle calms steep descents, and short seat stays give the bike a playful, responsive feel that makes popping manuals and changing lines feel natural.

A no-fuss, full-gas chainset

The Charger 24’s single-ring setup and forged 127 mm cranks deliver a powerful mix of performance, safety and pedalling efficiency you rarely see at this size. The narrow-wide chainring keeps the chain securely in place, so every pedal stroke feels smooth, direct and confidence-inspiring.

Big kid forks for big hitters

The Charger 24’s 120 mm RST F1rst fork with 15 mm thru-axle offers the same adjustability you’d expect on a bigger bike, without losing the sensitivity lighter riders need. With tunable air, compression and rebound, you can dial in the ride perfectly as they grow and the trails get tougher.

Lightweight, adjustable brakes

Tektro hydraulic discs deliver smooth, predictable modulation and plenty of tuning for growing hands, so stopping feels controlled, not jerky. With 160 mm rotors up front, bold riders get the confidence to go hard, knowing they can stop even harder when it matters.

A Shimano Deore drivetrain

Robust, efficient and low-maintenance, the 1x10 setup keeps things simple while still delivering pro-level performance. With smooth, accurate shifting and a durable, lightweight design, it’s the kind of drivetrain riders trust to just work, lap after lap.

MTB wheels that go hard

Fully sealed hubs, double-wall rims and an optimised spoke count, all wrapped in super-grippy Schwalbe tyres, mean these wheels are built to rip, not buckle. Sealed bearings shrug off mud and water, while thru-axles add stiffness and make the rare tyre swap quick and easy.
