The Falcon Raptor 24 inch bike has been designed specifically for junior riders aged 9-12 years with a lightweight frame and performance suspension fork capable of riding over trails. The hi-tensile steel frame is strong and durable while the suspension fork provides extra comfort when the riding gets rough with a soft spring suitable for junior riders. As well as being great looking, the Raptor has a great spec to match. The 6-speed rear gearing is powered by a Shimano rear derailleur and Revoshift shifter, while the front 3 chainrings give a wide range of gears, perfect for tackling steep hills and fast descents. The chainwheel guard protects fingers and clothes and prevents the chain from slipping off the chainring. MTB style pedals provide reassuring grip and the soft compound handlebar grips are durable and comfortable to hold. Braking is taken care of by reliable front and rear V-brakes with specially designed reach-adjustable brake levers that can be adjusted to accommodate smaller hands. The Raptor is ideally suited to grow with young riders thanks to the longer 250mm seat post, adjustable saddle fore and aft position and quill handlebar stem that can be adjusted up and down to suit. The wheels are assembled with strong yet lightweight alloy rims and knobbly MTB tyres for extra grip when riding off road. The Falcon Raptor really is a cut above the rest and the perfect bike for young riders looking to progress their off-road riding skills before they are big enough for an adult bike. Suitable for kids ages 9-12 years. Inside leg measurements 56-67cm or 22-26 inches.
