The Hornit HERO 24 is the largest model in the HERO range, a premium child focussed design bike created to take children aged 6 to 10 on school commutes, weekend adventures, and everything in between. It is designed to be lightweight and robust enough for daily use, making it a good value investment for parents.
A key feature of the Hornit HERO 24 is its seriously low weight of just 8.82kg, putting it among the lightest 24-inch bikes on the market. This feather-light frame makes it easier for children to handle, ride further, and tackle uphill climbs without getting exhausted, building their confidence on two wheels.
This bike is equipped with intuitive 8-speed MicroSHIFT Acolyte gearing with a clear gear indicator. This setup provides a smooth handling experience and gives the child a wide range of gears to handle varied terrain with ease. It features quality components such as an alloy frame, Tektro AL V-brakes with easy-reach levers for confident stopping, and Hartex Action tyres designed with a reflective stripe for visibility and multi-surface use.
