Ridgeback MX 24 Kids Bike

The MX24 — Go Further, See More, Do More

Going further is the name of the game with the Ridgeback MX24! 

Designed for average height riders aged 8 and upwards, the MX24 is the perfect kids bike for young adventurers who want to see and do more by bike.

Packed with all the easy-to-ride features needed, the MX24 punches well above its weight. 

With 7-speed gears to handle the hills, grippy but easy-rolling tyres ready for any path or track, and a fully adjustable fit that grows with your rider, the MX24 is built for the long haul.

Easy-Pedal Cranks — Ridgeback use  pedal cranks that 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 — The Ridgeback 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.

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.

Lowered Frames — The  frame on the MX24 is lower where it counts, making it easier to get on and off and increasing clearance for greater confidence.

Steering Limiter — 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.

Transferable warranty — The Ridgeback lifetime frame and fork warranty and 2-year parts warranty is transferrable, supporting service and re-sale value. That's because these bikes are made to last.

What is the MX24 weight vs Dimension 24 weight?

The MX24 weighs 10.5kg, compared to 10.0kg for the Dimension 24 — a difference of 0.5kg. Both are significantly lighter than budget steel-framed bikes of the same size, which typically weigh 12kg or more.

What are the parts differences between the MX24 and the Dimension 24?

The MX24 uses a steel fork and some lower cost parts such as Microshift shifters instead of Shimano and lower cost hubs and tyres. This gets a lower price than the Dimension 24. The fit and comfort details are the same between the models as this is the most important aspect in children riding confidently, once the bike is in the right weight ranges (as they are).
