Mondraker recommends the 24in model for children approximately 8 to 11 years old and 135-155cm tall, although rider fit should always take priority over age alone.Its Stealth Evo frame uses hydroformed 6061 aluminium tubing and adapts Mondraker's Forward Geometry to suit younger riders. The short 30mm Onoff stem works with a 680mm handlebar to create a child-appropriate cockpit while retaining the handling characteristics Mondraker intended for the bike.The Updated Zero Suspension System provides 120mm of rear-wheel travel, an increase from the 100mm offered by the previous Factor 24. This gives young riders useful suspension for absorbing roots, rocks and repeated bumps as they progress onto rougher trails.An X-Fusion 02PRO R air shock controls the rear suspension, with adjustable air pressure and low-speed rebound. Using an air spring means the suspension can be set according to the child's weight, an important consideration on a junior mountain bike where riders can vary considerably in size.At the front, the X-Fusion Slant RC air fork also provides 120mm of travel. It uses 34mm aluminium stanchions and offers air preload, rebound and lockout adjustment, allowing the fork to be tuned as the rider develops or their weight changes.Shimano Deore M6100 provides a 1x12 drivetrain with a wide-range 10-51T cassette. The single 30T chainring keeps gear selection straightforward, while the broad cassette range provides useful lower gearing for climbing. A Shadow+ rear derailleur helps control chain movement over rough ground.The bike also uses shorter 150mm Prowheel cranks. Their reduced length is better proportioned to younger riders than typical adult-sized cranks, helping the pedalling position suit smaller legs.Shimano MT501 hydraulic disc brakes are fitted front and rear, both using 180mm rotors. The hydraulic system provides controlled braking without relying on the higher lever effort associated with mechanical brakes, an important consideration for smaller hands.The F-Trick uses 24in MDK-XP1 wheels with tubeless-ready rims and a 25mm internal width. The smaller wheel diameter keeps the bike appropriately proportioned for its intended rider height while still offering a trail-focused tyre setup.A 2.4in Maxxis Minion DHF with 3C MaxxTerra compound and EXO protection is fitted at the front, while the rear uses a 2.3in Minion DHR II with EXO protection. Both are tubeless ready and provide a tread pattern designed for off-road grip.An X-Fusion Manic LC dropper post is another useful feature for developing riders. It provides 100mm of handlebar-controlled adjustment, allowing the saddle to be lowered for descents and raised again for pedalling without stopping to manually adjust the seatpost.Other components have also been selected with younger riders in mind. The SDG Fly JR saddle and SDG Slater JR pedals are junior-specific, rather than simply carrying over full-size adult contact points.A 12x148mm rear thru-axle and 15x100mm front axle provide secure wheel mounting, while the frame uses a UDH derailleur hanger, dedicated 1x drivetrain layout and internal cable routing.At a stated 13.8kg, the F-Trick 24 packages 120mm full suspension, a dropper post, 12-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes into a bike specifically sized around younger riders. It's aimed at children who have developed their basic mountain biking skills and are ready to progress onto more technical trail riding.Note: the supplied specification describes the frame as "F-Trick 26" with 130mm travel, but the fork, wheels and tyres are all specified as 24in components. The manufacturer description specifically states that the F-Trick 24 has 120mm rear travel, so I've used 120mm for this description rather than silently carrying across the conflicting 26in frame line.
