The Squish MTB 24 is a 24″ wheel kids mountain bike with some great features including Tektro M-280 Mechanical Disc Brakes with 160mm rotors (which are controlled by two-finger-operated easy reach levers) and SR Suntour XCR-Lo Air Suspension forks with 80mm of travel which can be adjusted to suit as the rider gains weight.
The single 32T chainring at the front means no complicated gear changes and this is matched to a 8 speed Shimano RD-M310 derailleur and 11-32T cassette, which is operated by a Shimano SL-M310 rapid fire shifter with optical display.
The 8 speed 11-32T cassette should be fine for gentle undulations, but it may require some out of the saddle effort to get to the top of more steep inclines.
The Squish MTB 24″ wheel bike is built around an 11″ frame, and weighs in at just 11.4kg, meaning the lightweight alloy frame is good for kids manoeuvring the bike.
