The Orbea MX24 XC is a Mid-Range junior mountain bike that offers a great balance of performance and accessibility for young riders ready to explore more challenging terrain.
Orbea designed the MX24 XC to mirror the freedom and joy of adult cycling, ensuring it’s a genuine, high-quality option without the heaviness or struggle of low-end bikes.
It’s built with a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame, weighing in at just 11.4 kg, making it easier for children between 125cm and 150cm tall to handle and control.
The clean look is enhanced by internal cable routing, which also helps protect the gear cables.
This bike is suitable for mixed terrain cycling, including tarmac surfaces and gentle off-road trails and tracks, thanks to its scaled-down, junior-specific components.
The SR Suntour XCT-JR suspension fork with 50mm of travel smooths out bumps on the trail, giving your child greater confidence and control, especially when riding off-road.
The 7-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain on the Orbea MX24 XC provides reliable and smooth shifting, making it easier for your child to tackle hills and varied speeds.
Junior-specific alloy V-brakes with reach-adjustable levers ensure they have safe and effective stopping power that is tailored for smaller hands.
The 24-inch wheels are fitted with durable Kenda Booster tyres, which offer a great mix of grip and stability across different surfaces.
Durability is a core principle of the Orbea MX Junior range, so the Orbea MX24 XC is made to last and can easily be passed down to the next rider.
