What We Love
- • Full-suspension 24-inch platform for gravity-focused riders

- • Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain
- • Shimano hydraulic disc brakes
- • Dropper-ready frame

- • Best for kids who are already riding hard enough to use it
The Early Rider Hellion X24 is for kids who are already riding jump lines, lift-served trails, and bike-park terrain on a regular basis. This is a real-deal 24-inch full-suspension bike for the rare breed of little rippers already sending it hard.
Early Rider builds the Hellion X24 around an aluminum full-suspension frame with 100–125mm of rear travel and a 120mm RST F1rst air fork. That gives young riders a lot of travel they can actually tune for their weight, terrain, and riding style. That adjustability helps the suspension move properly under a lighter rider while still providing adequate support for drops, repeated hits, and rough descents.
The premium parts add to the bike's hardcore gravity chops. The Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain gives kids a wide enough range for climbing back up after descents, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide strong, consistent stopping with a light lever feel. Although there is no dropper post, the frame is dropper-ready, which on a bike like this is the first upgrade you should make.
At 26 pounds, the Hellion X24 is impressively light for a 24-inch bike that delivers real suspension, tubeless-ready wheels, and a frame built for hard riding.
For the kid who is already pushing into gravity riding, and for the parent(s) who want to play hard with their kids, the Hellion X24 is one of the most capable 24-inch bikes available.
