The Ridgeback MX24 is built for young riders aged around 8 and up who are ready to ride further, explore more and take on bigger adventures. With larger wheels, reliable gearing and a lightweight aluminium frame, it offers the confidence and capability needed for longer rides on roads, parks and light trails.
Constructed from butted 6061 heat-treated aluminium, the MX24 frame keeps weight manageable while remaining strong enough for everyday adventures. A 7-speed drivetrain provides the flexibility to tackle hills and changing terrain, while easy-to-use trigger shifters make gear changes simple for developing riders.
The 24-inch wheels are paired with wide Vee XCV tyres that deliver excellent grip and stability on mixed surfaces, from paved cycle paths to gravel tracks. Reach-adjustable brake levers and dependable V-brakes ensure controlled stopping, while a rear derailleur bash guard helps protect the drivetrain during enthusiastic riding.
With a comfortable junior saddle, adjustable components and a durable build, the Ridgeback MX24 is designed to grow with young riders and keep up with their expanding horizons.

Information for Ridgeback kids bike range:
Easy-pedal cranks [All models except Scoot and ScootXL]– Ridgeback's pedal cranks are ergonomically correct, proportional to the child’s leg length. They also place the pedals closer to the bike’s centre so that children can pedal as smoothly and naturally as possible.
Smaller grips – Ridgeback's handlebars and grips are narrower diameter so they fit small hands better, for confidence and control as well as better ability to reach the brakes safely.
Lowered frames – Ridgeback's frames are lower where it counts, making it easier to get on and off and increasing clearance for greater confidence.
Steering limiter [All models except Scoot and Dimension 27.5] – To help prevent falls when learning to co-ordinate pedalling and cornering, the steering has a limit stop that helps avoid an over-steering situation.
Better brakes – Brake levers are closer to the bars and adjustable for reach to suit smaller hands, and work perfectly with our smaller diameter grips.
