Cannondale Kids Trail Plus 24

Plus-size tyres, disc brakes and eight trigger-shifted gears. The Kids Trail Plus 24 is the most trail-capable bike Cannondale builds at this wheel size, and it is built light enough that a 10-year-old can still throw it around.

Key Features

• SmartForm C3 Alloy frame and rigid fork with IS disc mounts
• Kenda Slant Six 24x2.6" plus-size tyres — huge grip and built-in cushioning
• Tektro mechanical disc brakes
• Light-action 8-speed trigger shifting
• Wide-range 12-32 cassette
• Sealed alloy QR hubs front and rear

Rider Fit

Suits riders of 124–137cm (4'1"–4'6"), roughly 7–12 years. Height is the reliable guide — age is only a rough one. Bring them in and we'll check the standover and reach before you buy.

Why You'll Love It

Skipping the suspension fork saves close to a kilo and removes the part most likely to need servicing; the 2.6" tyres do the smoothing instead. For a kid riding real singletrack rather than kerbs, this is the pick of the 24" bikes. Fitted and safety-checked in-store at Mackay Cycles.
