5 Best Kids Road, Cyclocross, & Gravel Bikes

Author: Kristen Bonkoski

Updated: January 24, 2024

Do you have an aspiring Peter Sagan or Katie Compon? If so, it might be time to get your child a bike with drop bars.

Compared to an all-terrain bicycle that most kids bikes are designed to be, a youth road bike, gravel bike, or cyclocross bike will be faster, lighter, and better suited to long-distance riding and ‘cross racing. The bikes on this list will help your kiddo climb bigger mountains, finish a 50-miler, or compete in your local kids ‘cross race.

Unfortunately, unlike the kids mountain bike business that is booming, fewer and fewer manufacturers are making pint-sized drop bar bikes. In fact, the options in North America have dwindled so much in the last few years that we’ve had to combine our lists of kids road bikes and cyclocross bikes into one.

Here’s what your limited options are…..

Frog 67 and Frog 70

Frog is one of our favorite companies for kids bikes–from balance bikes to track bikes, they make top-notch bicycles for children.

Both the Frog 67 (24″ wheels) and Frog 70 (26″ wheels) boast drop bars, but also have supplementary brakes levers on the top of the bars, which is nice for kids who haven’t quite mastered the drops yet.

These bikes also work for road riding or cyclocross and they come with two sets of Kenda tires–one for each discipline.

Price: $970 / $1,025

Vitus Razor Disc 24

Thank goodness for European bike brands! The Vitus Razor Disc 24 is a proper pint-sized road bike for kids.

Like all bikes from the Vitus brand, it offers superior bang for your buck. High quality components include a Microshift 8-speed drivetrain, Tektro disc brakes, and Kenda tires. All for a very affordable price.

Price: $899

Islabikes Luath 24 and 26

Islabikes is the original kids’ bike company and their years of experience show in both the Luath 24 and the Luath 26. The Luath comes with fenders, supplementary top bar brake levers, and a lightweight build (19 pounds with pedals).

Unfortunately, Islabikes has shut down North American distribution, but if you’re lucky enough to be in Europe or you are willing to put in a little work, you can still find one.

Price: £799+

Worx JA-24 and JA-26

The Worx JA 24 and 26 are fantastic bikes. In addition to being beautiful, the bikes come ready to race–either on the road or at the ‘cross track. The Worx Junior bikes offers a Mircoshift drivetrain and Tektro cantilever brakes.

This is a small botique UK brand, but they ship internationally, so wherever you are, this is a good option.

Salsa Journeyman 24

The Salsa Journeyman 24 is a junior-sized drop bar gravel bike. Intended for bikepacking and gravel grinding, the 24 inch rig has cargo mounts for carrying all sorts of gear.

The Salsa Journeyman 24 comes speced with Microshift drivetrain, Promax mechanical disc brakes, and beefy 24 x 1.85” tires. If you want to adventure, this could be a great option.

Discontinued Bikes

These are bikes we used to have on our lists of kids cyclocross and road bikes, but they have been discontinued. As you can see, this genre of bike has taken a big hit.

We are listing them here in case it can help you find one used.

Redline Conquest 20 and 24
Diamondback Haanjo 24
Raleigh RX24
Pinarello Speedy Complete
Argon 18 Xenon 24
Scott Speedster JR 24
Hoy Meadowmill
Genesis Beta
Specialized Allez Jr
Giant TCX Espoir 26
Ridley Road Race 26

Choosing the Right Road Bike or Cyclocross Bike For Your Child

The bikes on this list have either 24″ wheels, 26″ wheels or 650c wheels.

In general, most 24″ bikes are going to fit kids ages 8-10. As with all kids bikes, however, each bike has slightly different geometry and each child has a different height and build. Therefore, make sure you measure your child’s inseam prior to shopping for a bike.

If your child is older, 10 or 11 years old, you’ll find that you have more options and can look for a youth road bike with 26″ or 650c wheels.

Chances are, if you are shopping for a road or cross bike for your kiddo, that you are already a pretty serious cyclist yourself. Which also means you know how important weight is in a bike.

This is doubly true for kids who have light bodyweight and low muscle mass. If your child is going to be using the bike for racing weight is doubly important. In particular, with ‘cross racing, they are also going to be lifting this bicycle up and over obstacles and running with it, so keep in mind that the lighter the bike is the more they are going to enjoy racing.

Moving from an upright bike to a more aggressive road bike with drops can be a challenge. My favorite 24″ road bikes, like the Frog 67, offer both regular cantilever brake levers in the drops and supplementary brake levers on the flat bars. Unless you know that your child already has the skill to ride in the drops, I would recommend starting with this set-up.

You also have to decide if you want a bike with rim brakes or disc brakes. While UCI rules used to preclude disc brakes for cyclocross racing, this was changed several years ago.

Where you have the option, we would always choose a bike with disc brakes over rim brakes. For most off-road riding, disc brakes are far superior in terms of performance and stopping power. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of cyclocross bikes with disc brakes for kids, so you might have to compromise on this one.

As with everything in life, there is always a trade-off between price and quality. In general, you should buy your child a bike with the nicest comportments you can afford. If you’re not sure which the different drivetrain packages are, this article offers a good overview.

Rotational weight matters more than weight on any other part of the bike (the frame, for example). When shopping for a bike, compare the weight of the different wheelsets on the bikes. This often matters more than the overall build weight. If your child really takes to cycling, you can always upgrade their wheelset later as well.

Is this going to be your child’s primary bike or a sport-specific second bike? This question is important when considering how much you want to spend.

If your kiddo already has a road bike or a mountain bike or an around-town bike, and is just using the road or cyclocross bike to test out a few races, then you might want to pick a bike at the bottom of the budget spectrum.

If, on the other hand, your kiddo is going to use this bike for riding to school, riding long distances with mom and dad, or serious racing, then fork out the dough and invest in the best quality bike you can afford.

8 thoughts on “5 Best Kids Road, Cyclocross, & Gravel Bikes”

My son raced the red 2014 Podium 24 but I found the Podium 650C is barely larger than the Podium 24 and has a much better crank and seat. It has a much better finish too.

The 650 has has less than a 1″ higher frame and slightly longer reach. If your child is larger (than 4′ 7″), I would buy the 650C just to get a couple more years out of the bike. The reach is a bit long for a short standover frame bike. I ordered a 0mm BMX stem to bring the bars back. You can also get some inline brake levers just to improve the control. My son is always on the drops so it does not matter to me.

This bike is the best deal on the market for kids road bikes. The claris shifters are great and the frame is light and solid. True alloy threadless forks (not threaded forks with an adapter) The bars are fat and solid too. The seat on the 650C is much better than the Podium 24 but it is short. I put the 650C seat and post on the Podium 24 and ordered a new longer post for the 650.

The bike is solid, light, fast, and really fun. It is the same frame as the kids mountain bike so there is some space between the 650×1 wheels and the frame. It has V brakes but I set them with very little clearance and they are very solid. I don’t mind at all.

Our kids race and ride 300-400 miles a year. There are 40 kids in his club so I can compare. The Fuji Ace has crap twist shifters (like the GMC Denali bike), bolted axles, and weighs more than this. The Scott Speedster has similar weight and tight feel as the Podium but is much much more expensive. The Argon has so so shifters, lower crank and is $1000+.

Wow, Ed, that comment is as valuable as the original article. Thank you for all of that info. I’m off to look at the Podium 650C now.

Great information, thank you!

For those looking for a 650c bike, the Argon 18 650c is still available through Bike Exchange.

I should add that the Giants run Shimano Claris derailleurs, but Microshift brifters with the extra brake levers (though he didn’t need them for more than a few days). The Microshifts have been pretty good, other than the odd shifting action (separate up and down levers behoind the brake, rather like the old Campy’s).

If this article is claiming “Best Kids Road / Cyclocross / Gravel Bikes,” it should have included the HUPcc bikes from KIDSRACING.CO.UK which can be found online and are shipped all over the world.

Will check them out, thanks!

If kids are looking for something fun to do with their new cyclocross bikes, they can join a youth cyclocross racing program like Lionhearts Junior Racing in Cincinnati, Ohio – https://www.facebook.com/lionheartracing/ ; https://www.lionhearts.org/ ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HveIw-S22c .

The Best 24 Inch Bikes for 7 to 11 Year Olds in 2023

We are a reader supported site. We earn commissions when you buy through links on our site. Learn more.

Buying a bike for your kids can sometimes turn into a decision-making nightmare. You’ll probably be asking questions like;

What’s the ideal age?
Does it suit my child’s height?
What’s the best ones out there?

…and many more.

You’d probably noticed that these bikes come in various types of configurations such as different frame materials, number of gears, tire types, brakes, and even different frame geometries.

Here are some of the important things to know :

For kids aged at least 7 and above or with an inseam of 24″ and above.
Bike frame can be steel (cheaper, heavier) or aluminum (more expensive, lighter).
Enough low gearing to tackle the gentle hills around your neighborhood bike paths or gravel trails.

I’ll discuss each of them, and more in detail in the buying guide section , and hopefully, you’ll get a clearer picture of what you should be looking for.

A Quick Glance : Our Favorite 24 Inch Kids Bikes

Editor’s Pick : Guardian Ethos 24 “A multiple safety award-winning bike in recent years.”

Budget Pick : Co-op Cycles REV 24 “Affordable price point makes this an attractive choice for most parents.”

For Mountain Biking : Trek Precaliber 24 “A great style, designed for durability and performance in the trails.”

Editor's Pick

Guardian ethos 24.

Guardian Bikes puts out two lines of kids’ bikes; the Original and the Ethos with the former being the company’s high-end line. The main difference lies in the drivetrain and frame.

The Ethos is fitted with Shimano 7-speed shifting, giving it a high level of performance. Other upgrades include smooth welding, which improves looks by eliminating the weld seams and strength with the addition of reinforced joints.

The remainder of the bike features all the kid-friendly design features that are present in all of Guardian’s bikes. This includes shorter reach on the handbrakes, a lightweight aluminum frame, and geometry tweaks that include smaller grips, shorter crank arms, and a lower center of gravity.

Understanding that kids can be rough on bikes, Guardian Bikes goes with double-walled rims, which resist bends and dents. And, of course, the Ethos also features cool graphics, which come in three different color schemes.

Pros : 7-speed drivetrain allows the kid to ride over multi terrains.
Cons : No disc brakes.

Value for Money Pick

Co-op cycles rev 24.

It’s hard to justify spending a lot of money on a kid’s bike when you know they’re just going to grow out of it. Co-op, the bike brand of outdoor outfitting company REI, knows this.

That’s why they came up with the Rev 24, a kids mountain bike at a very affordable price. While the REV 24 may lack some of the accouterments of a full-sized adult mountain bike, most notably a front suspension, it has everything else including mechanical disc brakes and 2.6” knobby tires.

The Rev 24 also offers reliable shifting with a full 7-speed Shimano rear derailleur.

Pros : Mechanical discs brake provide reliable braking in all conditions.
Cons : Limited and boring color choices.

24 Inch Mountain Bikes

Trek precaliber 24.

The Trek Precaliber 24 offers versatility for your growing child. This is a great bike for riding on bike paths and also to take along for off-road, mountain biking adventures.

An aluminum frame keeps the Trek Precaliber at a weight that’s easy for children to maneuver while a dropped top tube makes it easier to get on and off the bike.

A modest front suspension fork with 45mm of travel and knobby Bontrager XR1 knobby tires supply enough shock absorption and traction for aggressive dirt trails riding.

A full Shimano 8-speed drivetrain keeps the cadence up and pedaling easier on those big hills around the neighborhood.

Pros : Front suspension allows for aggressive off-road riding.
Cons : Expect to pay slightly more.

Cannondale Cujo 24

Looking for that first mountain bike for your child? Cannondale’s Cujo 24 is another excellent option.

With frame geometry designed for stability and maneuverability, the Cannondale Cujo 24 is ready to take on rugged off-road terrains. An aluminum frame makes bike handling and maneuverability easier for young kids.

The gearing covers a broad range with a 1×8 Shimano Tourney drivetrain and 11-34T rear cassette. The Cannondale Cujo may lack a front suspension fork, but who needs one when the plus-size knobby tires are 2.6” wide.

It’s also fitted with smaller brake levers to accommodate smaller hands.

Pros : Frame geometry aimed towards stability and easy maneuverability.
Cons : Expect to pay more for a reputable brand.

Picks for Girls

Co-op cycles rev cty.

REI’s Co-op Cycles Rev CTY is a great option for budding young riders looking for a good hybrid road bike that can comfortably handle both paved surfaces and light off-road terrain.

The Rev CTY’s geometry mirrors that of the smaller Rev 16, with a top tube that drops below the seat stays on the seat tube for easy mounting and dismounting. Narrower tires with smaller knobs allow for faster roll, making pedaling easier.

The real highlight of this bike, though, is its Shimano Tourney drivetrain, which offers an impressive 21 gears via a triple chainring and 7-speed rear cassette.

Pros : Very low, the sloping top tube makes it easier to step over the bike.
Cons : Limited color choices.

Cannondale Quick 24

Cannondale is a very well-known bike manufacturer and they provide incredible quality which is highly visible in their Quick 24 bike.

This bike is based upon Cannondale’s lightweight SmartForm C2 alloy frame and fork that is designed for riding over any type of terrain. Throw in the 1.5″ wide knobby Kenda tires, the ride becomes more comfortable.

The drivetrain is powered by a 7-speed Shimano gear system, controlled by a grip shifter. With its 11-28T gearing range, you’d be sure your child will cover both flat and hilly terrains without any problem.

If you’re after a lightweight bike, the Cannondale makes a great choice.

Pros : Cannondale’s alloy frame is renowned for its workmanship and comfort.
Cons : No front suspension fork nor disc brakes for the price.

Lightweight Models

Early rider seeker 24.

Not a little child anymore, but not yet an adult. That pretty much characterizes this bike.

The Early Rider Seeker 24 is an upgrade from the 20 inch version but with a drivetrain that resembles a full-sized adult mountain bike. This includes a 1×11 SRAM GX drivetrain with a cassette range of 10-42T. That’s not too far off from the 1x drivetrains that are becoming ubiquitous on adult bikes.

Other features include a front suspension fork with 100mm of travel and hydraulic disc brakes. It’s safe to say that this is an excellent bike for getting your child off the road and onto some trail riding.

Pros : Lightest bike among our picks and with top-of-the-line components.
Cons : Expect to pay a higher premium over other models.

Prevelo Alpha 4

The Prevelo Alpha 4 certainly doesn’t come cheap. If you look closely at this bike, you’ll soon realize it screams quality right from the start.

The frame is made of a higher grade 6061 aluminum, which makes it even lighter than most aluminum frames out there. And it doesn’t stop here.

Gearing-wise, the Shimano 8-speed drivetrain with an 11-34T gear range will ensure your child gets over the steepest climbs around the neighborhood. While not having a front suspension fork, this is compensated by 1.5″ wide tires which will help smoothen out the uneven surfaces for a more comfortable ride.

Even though Alpha Four is a bit pricier bike, it’s worth every dollar it costs.

Pros : Sleek and modern-looking lightweight aluminum frame design and colors.
Cons : No disc brakes for the selling price.

24 Inch Bikes Buying Guide

From experience, I’ve seen parents being overwhelmed by lots of information when it comes to buying bikes for their kids.

Well, it’s a lot of info to digest but it shouldn’t be that complicated.

In this section below, I’ve covered the 5 important things to look out for before you buy. Going through the sections below will give you a clearer idea of what to expect.

If you want a more detailed guide, you can read my kid’s bike guide which will cover each of the topics below in depth.

1. Suitable for Kids Aged 7+

24 inch is the last bike size before stepping into adult bike size territory. Generally, the minimum age for 24 inch bikes is at least 7 years old .

From my own experience and observation, kids usually start riding this bike size when they’re 8, 9, or sometimes 10 years old. It’s inaccurate to size the kids just based on their age as kids of the same age might not have the same height.

A more accurate method is to measure their inseam.

But, what’s an inseam?

Inseam is the length measured from the crotch to the floor of a child who is standing with both feet flat on the ground.

Here’s a quick way to measure your child’s inseam.

Stand with the back flat against the wall, feet close together.
Put a book between the legs, push it up so that it’s touching the crotch.
Hold the book while the child moves forward and away.
Measure the distance between the floor and the top of the book.

The ideal inseam measurement for a 24 inch bike is between 24″ and 28″.

If your child falls outside of this range, you might want to consider either sizing up or down a size for them. Alternatively, you can also visit your local bike shop to try out the various bike sizes before deciding.

2. Bike Frame Made from Steel or Aluminum

The majority of the bikes are made of either steel or aluminum. There are some exceptions where they’re made of carbon, but those will cost you a lot of money.

Steel is a very durable, reliable material, and more importantly, affordable material to build a bike frame. The downside is, it’s heavy.

On the other hand, aluminum offers the same durability yet is a lot lighter and more expensive. Bikes such as the Early Rider Seeker 24 and Prevelo Alpha 4 are among the lightest ones, but they come with a heavier price tag.

In short, be prepared to pay more if you’re after a lighter bike.

3. Enough Gears for Flats and Hills

Shimano and SRAM are the two most common gear manufacturers seen in 24 inch bikes.

Since the bikes are now bigger, they come with various gear configurations. Some of the bikes such as Co-op Rev 24 and Cannondale Quick will come with 7-speed gearing, while others can have up to 21 gears with 3 front chainrings.

For example, if the bike has 2 front chainrings and 7 rear cogs, there will be a total of 14 available gears. The wider the gearing range, the more versatile the bike is.

You might also start noticing that manufacturers specify the gear ratio in terms of 11-28T or 11-34T.

What does this mean?

11T represents 11 teeth at the rear cog, which indicates a very high gear which is ideal for cruising along flat roads.

28T represents a very low gear, which is useful for the hills. The steeper the hill is, the lower the gears are needed, which is why some bikes such as the Prevelo Alpha 4 come with a 34T rear cassette.

4. Front and Rear Brakes

You’ll notice that every bike now comes with brakes. And there’s really no surprise here.

However, what differs is the type of brakes.

There are no coaster brakes anymore, but almost all of them come with either V-brakes, rim brakes, or even disc brakes such as the Salsa Timberjack and Cannondale Cujo for better braking performance.

5. Tires Sizes from 1.5" to 1.9" Wide

Almost all of the bikes come with tires that require air pressure and thus are vulnerable to punctures.

So, it’s about time that you consider learning how to change an inner tube yourself and teaching your kids how to do them too.

You’ll notice that the tires come in various sizes, typically from 1.5″ to 1.9″ wide.

The wider the tire size, the more comfortable the ride will be as you’ll be running a lower air pressure due to the larger tire volume.

Best kids road bikes

Road cycling is becoming more and more popular, especially thanks to the success of British riders in the Tour de France, Giro and World Championships in recent years. Is your child desperate to have their own, kids sized road bike, to emulate their favourite riders and get out training in the hope of one day follow in their footsteps? (Perhaps by then it'll be our sons AND daughters stepping up onto the podium).

If you're wondering which kids road bikes are out there, we've picked the best children's road bikes that will appeal to inspired young riders - there's something for all budgets and experience levels.

Please note though, that in order to get the best out of a road bike, your child does need to be a competent and confident cyclist, as they need to be able to ride safely using drop handlebars and skinny tyres.

If they're not quite ready, then a hybrid bike will give them much more fun.

The Best Kids Road Bikes

All these bikes will inspire all budding road cyclists - some are suitable just for road riding, and others can also be fitted with cyclocross tyres. If you're definitely looking for a more all-round drop handlebar bike that can also be used for cx, then check out our post on the best cyclocross bikes .

Frog Road Bikes (from £485)

Cycle Sprog reviewed and recommended bikes Frog Bikes are renowned for having taken the market by storm with their colourful yet top quality range of kids bikes.

Frog 58 key data (smallest of the Frog road bikes):

Price: £485 Typical a ge range : 6-7 years Minimum inside Leg: 58cm Bike weight: 8.2kg Brakes: Tektro Oryx (992AG) Aluminium Alloy Cantilever Frame: Aluminium Alloy 6061 Tyres: Kenda K-1018 rubber 20*1 1/8 Black ETRTO:451MM Available colours: Red, White, Black, Team Sky Blue, Team Sky Black Warranty: 2 years - extended to 5 years for frame if you register the bike within 28 days of purchase

Frog are one the UK's leading kids bike manufacturers, with bikes in all shapes and sizes.

Frog has three sized road bikes - the Frog Road 58, 67 and 70 which have 20", 24" and 26" wheels respectively. The 58, 67 and 70 refer to the minimum inside leg your child needs to ride the bike.

Their smallest road bike is the 20" wheel Frog 58 - it's the smallest drop handlebar bike available, and we only recommend this for those younger children with great bike handling skills. Most other manufacturers don't introduce a road bike until 24" wheels when the majority of kids tend to have better control.

There's a wide range of colours available and they can fit road and cyclocross tyres, so should be a bike to suit all younger riders, although those approaching teenage years and needing a 700c wheel will be disappointed as the range currently stops at 26" wheel.

We've reviewed a couple of the Frog road bikes and have been impressed with the build quality and specification of the bikes.

Vitus Razor Disc (from £539)

Cycle Sprog reviewed and recommended brand!

New in 2022 Vitus has released their first kids-sized road bike. The Vitus Razor Disc, as the name suggests, is equipped with disc brakes, and a lightweight aluminium frame with streamlined geometry designed to move as quickly as possible.

Vitus are a really up-and-coming kids bike brand, and we've been very impressed with the other bikes of theirs we've reviewed.

Their junior road bike offering is available in 24" and 26" wheels and is equipped with Tekro disc brake and a Microshift R8 8-Speed groupset which is controlled by short-reach shifters for smaller hands.

The supplied high-grip Kenda Koncept tyres are designed for all-weather performance at speed, but there is enough clearance to swap out for something a bit wider if you want a slightly less twitchy ride.

Islabikes Luath (from £799)

Cycle Sprog reviewed and recommended bike!

Islabikes Luath (24") key data:

Price: £799.99 Typical a ge range : 8+ years Minimum Height : 130cm Inside Leg: 59-69cm Bike weight: kg Brakes: Tektro, flatmount cable disc Frame: Aluminium, flat-mount dropouts Tyres: Islabikes Road, 24" x 1.0 (26-507) folding, 120TPI, reflective sidewall Available colours: Charcoal / Dark Teal Warranty: 5 years on frame and forks and 2 years on parts

The Islabikes Luath is a multi-purpose kids drop handlebar bike that can be ridden both on the road or for cyclocross with just a change of tyre. Designed by many times cyclocross champion Isla Rowntree, these bikes have a great racing pedigree.

One of the brilliant things about Islabikes is their longevity - both our Sprogs have ridden a Luath 26 and it still looked as good as new. You can read our review of the Luath 26 here .

Islabikes regularly refresh their range, with lighter weight bikes, improvements to the specification, and fresh new branding.

Available in wheel sizes 24", 26" and 700c (small and large) the Islabikes Luath provides a good option for slightly older kids looking for a bigger wheel size than the Frog and Hoy bikes offer.

Our own Cycle Sprog spent all last summer test riding the Worx JA-700 junior road bike, which also comes in smaller sizes with 24" and 26" wheels. It's designed to go VERY fast, so is only for serious and confident riders. It certainly gave 12-year old N a love of road riding at speed!

You can read our review of the Worx JA-700 here , and how he got on riding it in his first sportive ride .

The bike can be specified for either road or cyclocross riding.

Discontinued kids road bikes

Sadly there's been previously really popular bikes that are no longer available to buy brand new. However, we've kept them in this article as they do often come up secondhand and have often been well maintained by cycling enthusiasts so can make a really great purchase.

For more advice on buying a second-hand kids bike read our article Buying a second hand kids bike .

Hoy Meadowmill

Hoy Meadowmill (24") key data:

Price: from £530 Typical a ge range : 7-11 years; Minimum height : 127cm; Minimum inside leg: 63cm; Bike weight: 8.69kg; Brakeset: Tektro 930AL alloy V; Frame: 6066-T6 heat treated alloy; Tyres: Maxxis Locust 24 x 1.25, 32-520; Available colours: Black/red; Warranty: Evans Cycles website says "All products ordered from Evans Cycles come with a full warranty which covers manufacturing faults and defects in workmanship."

The Hoy Bikes range used to include a multi-purpose drop handlebar bike which was ideal for riding on road but also be used for cyclo-cross or gentle off road riding and cames in 24" and 26" wheel sizes.

It was a great all round bike, and had all the attention to detail you'd expect from a bike with Sir Chris Hoy's name on it.

They weren't around for all that many years as they replaced the Hoy Cammo, which was a road only bike. Don't get the Meadowmill (all purpose drop handle bar bike) confused with the Hoy Meadowbank (track bike) or you'll have problems!

Wiggins Rouen Kids Road Bikes

Wiggins Rouen key data:

(ADV Junior Road Bike - 26" Wheel)

Price: £360 Typical a ge range : 9-12 years Minimum Height : 138-154cm Bike weight: 9.3kg Brakes: V-Brakes Frame: Lightweight butted aluminium frame Tyres: Superlight Air Filled Vee Tyre Available colours: White Warranty: Frame and Forks - lifetime guarantee - all other parts 1 year

Bradley Wiggins 2012 Tour de France victory marked a turning point in British success in the event. It's hard to comprehend that there have been six British winners in the past seven years, but before Sir Bradley, no Briton had ever worn the yellow jersey on the final Sunday of the race!

In 2016 Wiggins launched his own brand of kids bikes which was available exclusively at Halfords, to inspire the next generation of cyclists. Sadly the Wiggins range of kids bikes was discontinued early in 2021.

Thankfully so many were sold that they'll be coming up secondhand for quite some time, because the Rouen range are the best kids road bikes if you don't have a big budget to spend.

When new they were significantly cheaper than the other lightweight, quality kids road bikes out there, and that's reflected in the second market too. (Although you do have to factor in that at that price they're not going to be built to the same standard and longevity as the more expensive models).

That said, they're well-specified road bikes, (it's worth noting they can't be fitted with wider tyres, so are purely a road bike and cannot be used for cyclocross). There are three bike sizes in the range - the smallest being a 540c bike.

Wiggins Rouen ADV Junior Road Bike - 26 inch

Scatto J-Race 700c Road bike

Scatto J-Race key data:

Price new: from £899 Typical a ge range : 8+ years Minimum Inside Leg: 62cm Frame: double-butted aluminium

For those really serious about getting a podium place, then you need to get onto big wheels as soon a possible. The Scatto J-Race has 700c but a frame sized for a 8 year old, which will give a real advantage during a race.

These were the favourite bike of the team at Kids Racing for a while, so a lot were bought by very serious racers as there's not much those guys don't know about bikes that are designed to be ridden fast!

Many of the bikes will have been bespoke builds for the rider, so it's worth checking out the spec carefully so it meets your requirements.

Cuda Performance Kids road bikes

Cuda Performance (CP24) key data:

Price new: £500 Bike weight: 9.3kg Brakes: Tektro Kanti – Microshift short reach lever Frame: Alloy Double Butted Tyres: Kenda Road 24 x 1” & Kenda Cross 24 x 1”1/8 Available colours: Pink, green, orange Warranty: 12 months.

The Cuda Performance Range was an alternative to the more established names for a couple of years, but the range has now been discontinued.

Cuda has a range of different models of kids bikes, so make sure you're looking for those starting with CP for Cuda Performance range if you're looking for their best specification.

Their drop handlebar road bikes have an "R" after them - so the CP24R is the 24" wheel road bike whist the CP24 is the flat bar hybrid bike.

We reviewed a Cuda CP700R when it was first launched and our tester was impressed with it's handling.

24 INCH BIKES ON A BUDGET

What we look for in a budget-friendly bike.

There’s a reason you don’t see a Schwinn or Huffy on this list. Kids bikes traditionally sold at Walmart or on Amazon are generally heavy, clunky, and a poor riding experience.

In the past few years, a select few budget-friendly brands have produced much needed change in the kids bike market. The Guardian, Decathlon, and Polygon bikes you see below are significantly better than any bike you will find at Walmart. They are lighter-weight, have better quality components, and are designed to make riding easier for kids.

Guardian Bikes 24

Innovative braking system, easy-to-use grip shifters.

SEAT HEIGHT: 25″ – 33″
WEIGHT: 25.5 lb.
READ MORE: Guardian Bikes 24 inch Review

You wouldn’t think that brakes on a kid’s bike would be a big deal, but Guardian Bikes prove otherwise. Their proprietary SureStop braking system helps kids of all riding abilities feel more confident and less anxious, whether they’re riding to their friend’s house or across town.

With just one brake lever that sequentially engages the rear brake followed by the front brake, timid kids feel more secure, and aggressive kids have the added stopping power they need. For over 7 years, Guardian Bikes have been our favorite budget-friendly bikes for kids.

Patented SureStop braking system for faster and more controlled braking
Grip shifters provide smooth shifting (7-speed)
Low center-of-gravity design for better balance and maneuverability
Fun, kid-approved designs
Insanely easy assembly
Slightly heavier, and components aren’t as high-end as some of the other bikes on this list

Retrospec Dart 24

Solid quality and design on a super budget.

PRICE: $219
SEAT HEIGHT : 25.5″ – 29.8″
WEIGHT: 28.5 lb. (w/ kickstand and pedals)
READ MORE: Retrospec Dart 20 and 24 Review

While the additional expense of upgrading to the Guardian 24 is worth it in our book, if your budget is limited, the Retrospec Dart 24 is our favorite super-budget kid’s bike.

If you’ve been considering heading to Walmart for a Schwinn or Huffy, we highly recommend that you choose a Retrospec kid’s bike instead – the overall quality and design is simply better.

Once the bike is properly tuned, the brakes offer good stopping power and the gearing system shifts smoothly. Overall, our kid testers found it fun to ride, and parents were pleased at the surprising quality for a very low price.

SIZING NOTE: While the seat height goes as low as 23.4″, that seat height is much too low for the overall size of a 24″ bike. We recommend using the seat height at 25.5″ and higher, or for kids about 50″ and taller.

Good quality components for the price
Comes with a derailleur hanger, which helps prevents costly derailleur fixes
Simpler shifting (gearing) system than most cheap 24″ bikes (only one shifter on the right hand, instead of shifters on both the left and right hands) is much easier for kids
Wider 2.1″ tires offer good traction and cushioning
One of the heavier bikes on this list, but it’s also the cheapest so that should be expected
Brakes and gearing system may need to be adjusted at a bike shop

Polygon Premier XC Disc 24

Knobby tires, coil suspension fork, and trigger shifters.

PRICE: $299
SEAT HEIGHT : 26.7″ – 33.7″
WEIGHT: 29.7 lb. (w/ kickstand and pedals)

Whether your child simply loves the look of a suspension fork or if they are all about hitting small jumps and blasting over curbs, the Polygon Premier XC Disc is right up their alley. Coming equipped with 2.25″ wide all-terrain tires and a 50mm coil suspension fork, the Premier XC Disc provides plenty of grit for adventurous riders, a certainly looks the part of a true mountain bike.

With mechanical disc brakes, the XC Disc 24 has better stopping power than the standard v-brakes found on Polygon’s Urban bike. It also has a wider gearing range that will make gaining and maintaining speed on flat and downhill sections much easier.

Compared to other multi-use, trail-friendly bikes on this list, the Polygon MTB’s lower price point does result in a heavier bike. While it’s about as heavy as a Schwinn bike you might find at Walmart, its overall build and design are considerably better.

Very solid quality components
Disc brakes for faster, easier stopping power
Trigger shifters, which are better for advanced riding
Easy to assemble and all bikes are quality checked before shipping
Comes with derailleur hanger, which helps prevents costly derailleur fixes
2.25″ wide all-terrain Crown Gem tires
Only available in one color option
On the heavy side

Polygon Premier Ultralight Urban

Great quality and performance with a budget-friendly price tag.

SEAT HEIGHT : 25.5″ – 31.5″
WEIGHT: 23.1 lb. (w/ kickstand, pedals, and derailleur cage)
READ MORE: Polygon Premier Ultralight Kids Bike

New to the US, but not to the biking world, Polygon Bikes offers top-notch bikes with quality components at an affordable price. Their new Premier Ultralight 24 inch bike is no exception and comes fully spec’ed with a Shimano drivetrain, Kenda tires, and Promax brake levers.

Paired with a lightweight aluminum frame with confidence-building geometry, the Premier is a great bike for young riders ready to tackle everything from cruising around the neighborhood to longer rides on compact dirt trails.

Low minimum seat height
Modern graphics on a lightweight aluminum frame
Comes with derailleur cage and kickstand
1.75″ wide all-terrain Kenda tires
Only available in two color options
Shimano Tourney shifter can be hard to use for some kids
Lower max gear ratios for those riding on long flat trails

24 INCH BIKES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD RIDERS

What we look for in a neighborhood bike.

Whether riding to school or heading out on a long ride with the family, neighborhood bikes are designed for kids who mainly stick to paved surfaces. With smoother or narrower tires, and slightly more upright body positioning than multi-use bikes, these neighborhood bikes are comfortable and natural to ride.

With a focus more on simplicity for the average kid rider, these 24 inch bikes feature easy-to-use grip shifters, fewer gearing options, and v-brakes. They also boast exceptional quality that will allow you to pass these bikes down to several kids, or resell them for a good price.

Specialized Jett 24

Growth spurt proof fits kids longer than other bikes..

SEAT HEIGHT : 26.5″ – 35.5″
WEIGHT: 22.3 lbs.
READ MORE: Specialized Jett Review

An exceptional bike all-around, the Specialized Jett is a quality bike with top-notch components that is not only build to last, but is also built to fit much longer than other 24″ bikes!

After years of study and research, the Jett was uniquely designed to provide about 3″ of additional room for growth compared to other bikes. After testing the 24″ Jett out on 8 different kids, we found it to properly fit for heights ranging from 51″ to 62″ (many 24″ bikes max out around 59″).

In addition to being a great fit, the Jett is a blast to ride. All of our testers loved the fun, smooth, and nimble ride of the Jett and preferred it over many other bikes in our test fleet. Both our timid and aggressive riders loved the Jett’s 2.0″ wide tires that help to cushion the ride, as well as the quick and responsive trigger shifters.

Lastly, while the Jett is available online, you can also order it through your local bike shop and then pick it up already assembled!

Built-in adjustability to allow kids to properly fit and ride the Jett for longer than most bikes
Lightweight, aluminum construction
Easy-to-use trigger shifters (on geared 20″ and 24″)
Smooth-rolling tires that provide plenty of cushion and traction
Quality build that will hold up through several kids
Support and assembly from your local Specialized dealer if needed (bikes also shipped direct to you if you prefer!)
Cushioned child-size saddle with numbered seat post for a precise fit
Narrow q-factor for efficient pedaling
Ergonomic handlebar grips
Fit Tool suggestions aren’t as dialed as we would like

Priority Start 24

Grease-free belt drive, simplified shifting.

SEAT HEIGHT: 27″ – 34.5″
WEIGHT: 23.3 lbs.
READ MORE: Priority Start 24 Review

Intelligently designed with just three simple gears and a grease-free belt drive, the Priority Start 24 makes kids’ biking adventures simpler and easier (and more maintenance-free for parents!).

The Start boasts beautiful lines and an impressive paint job along with multi-terrain tires that accommodate everyone from timid to aggressive riders. The Priority Start is truly the full package for your neighborhood rider.

3-speed internally geared hub keeps shifting simple and is very low maintenance
Grease-free, rust-free, essentially maintenance-free belt drive
Multi-terrain tires for a wide variety of uses
Soft and cushioned saddle
Dual v-pull hand brakes
Soft, cushioning grips
Gorgeous paint job – comes in 3 color options
3 gears is limiting for riders who may advance to more aggressive riding

Super lightweight, confidence-building bike

SEAT HEIGHT : 26.4″ – 32.3″
WEIGHT: 18.1 lbs.
READ MORE: woom 5 Review

The woom 5’s combination of a super lightweight frame, a more upright body position, and a wide gearing range make this bike the most natural and easy ride of any 24 inch bike we’ve tested. Its uniquely-designed handlebar allows for height adjustments to make the woom 5 a better fit for a longer period of time.

Its slightly knobbier tires also make the woom ideal for riding on various surfaces. Because it’s so versatile in use, it’s especially great for young riders who have a love for bike riding, but haven’t seriously committed to road or aggressive trail riding. The woom 5 is a solid, does-it-all bike for your budding bike enthusiast.

Lightweight with a low minimum seat height
Wide range of gears (8-speed) for tackling various terrains and elevations
Highly adjustable fit for a more comfortable ride as a child grows
Low center-of-gravity geometry for better balance and maneuverability
Easy-to-use grip shifters and other high-end components
Gorgeous, and with a nice variety of colors available

24 INCH BIKES FOR ADVENTUROUS RIDERS

What we look for in a multi-use bike for aggressive riders on paved and dirt trails.

For adventurous kids who need a bike suitable for occasionally (or frequently!) hitting dirt trails, these multi-use bikes are the perfect choice.

These kids bikes feature wider and/or knobby tires for better traction on various surfaces, and generally a more aggressive positioning on the bike. This positioning allows kids to more easily shift their weight around while speeding up a jump or going through a tight turn – whether on pavement or dirt.

These 24 inch bikes also feature one or more of the following features: rapid fire trigger shifters for faster gear changes, disc brakes for top-notch stopping power, or a basic coil suspension fork to make neighborhood tricks like bunny hops a bit easier.

REI Co-Op REV

Great quality and build for the price.

SEAT HEIGHT : 25.25″ – 31.5″
WEIGHT: 28.2 lbs.
READ MORE: REI Co-Op REV Plus Review

REI offers solid-quality kids’ bikes at a very decent price. Built on a durable frame equipped with mechanical disc brakes and 2.6″ wide cushioning tires, the REI Co-Op Cycles REV 24 Plus is a great entry-level trail bike that also excels around the neighborhood.

This bike is also an affordable option for families who want a good “base bike” for upgrading to make it more trail-worthy.

Quality bike for a very decent price
Sturdy frame and 2.6″ wide tires great for exploring the neighborhood or basic trails
Tektro mechanical disc brakes offer solid stopping power
Local REI pick up and return guarantees
Handlebars may be too wide for some riders (you can cut them down though)

Prevelo Alpha Four

Best for aggressive riders & basic trail riders.

SEAT HEIGHT: 26.2″ – 31.4″
WEIGHT: 20.75 lbs.
READ MORE: Prevelo Alpha Four Review

Lightweight, quick, and ridiculously nimble, the Prevelo Alpha Four is the ultimate ride for young riders regularly riding on paved and non-paved surfaces. From pounding out the mileage on long rides with the family or hitting up the local DIY dirt jumps, the Alpha delivers an exceptional, confidence-building ride.

Specced with trigger shifters as well as 8 gears with a wide gain ratio range, the Prevelo is easy to shift on the fly and even easier to power up hills or lay down the speed on long straightaways. When it comes time to slow down, the Alpha’s Tektro v-brakes offer quick and responsive stopping power.

Lightweight, low step-through frame
MicroShift trigger shifters are very easy to engage
Low center-of-gravity for better balance
Narrow Q-factor for maximum leverage on pedals
24 x 1.5 Kenda Small Black Eight knobby tires (can upgrade up to 2.1″ wide)
Top quality components
Minimum seat height is taller than previous models

Trek Precaliber 24

Mountain bike look and feel with optional casual-use suspension.

MSRP: $439/$469 (with suspension)
SEAT HEIGHT: 26″ – 30.5″
WEIGHT: 25.5 lb., 26.5 lb. (with suspension)
READ MORE: Trek Precaliber 24

Featuring the look and feel of a real mountain bike , but without the costly components of a true mountain bike, the Trek Precaliber 24 is a win-win for parents and kids. With 2.25″ wide tires and an optional front suspension fork, the Precaliber is the perfect ride for the adventurous neighborhood rider who is eager to tackle both paved and dirt trails.

With its lower-end components and “casual-use only” fork, the Precaliber is not designed for hitting true single track trails, but it excels at neighborhood dirt trails as well as jumping curbs and small jumps.

Available with or without suspension
Suspension is functional for around town but is not ridiculously heavy (adds about 1.5 lb.)
Four different color options
Assembly and tune-ups available at local bike shop
Low-end components (Shimano Tourney, non-branded brakes)

Pello Reyes

Mechanical disc brakes, can upgrade to suspension fork.

SEAT HEIGHT : 25.25″ – 31″
WEIGHT: 21.9 lbs., 24 lbs. with air fork
FULL REVIEW: Pello Reyes Review

From paved bike trails to smooth-rolling single-track, the Reyes is the ultimate multi-trick pony for the adventurous 8 to 10-year old. Built with a lightweight and nimble frame, Tektro mechanical-disc brakes, a responsive Cane Creek headset, and topped with 9-speeds controlled by a Shimano trigger shifter, the Reyes is a phenomenally versatile bike.

Taking it one step further, the Reyes comes equipped with 24 x 1.95″ Kenda Small Block 8 tires that offer plenty of bite for dirt trails, but are low profile enough to provide a smooth ride on pavement.

Have a true grom on your hands? Convert the Reyes into the ultimate trail bike by going tubeless (rims are tubeless compatible) and for $249 add on an RST F1RST air fork at purchase (geometry is suspension corrected). At $888 total, it’s a super affordable and legit trail bike option.

High-end components including Cane Creek headset, Kenda tires, and Tektro disc brakes with kid-sized hand levers
9 speed Shimano trigger shifter
Versatile in use – light weight also makes it suitable for long distance rides
With optional upgrades including suspension fork and dropper post, you can easily convert the Reyes to a full-blown mountain bike
Lowest gear could be lower for extended climbing

MORE BIKES TO KEEP ON YOUR RADAR

Cleary meerkat 24, ultimate durability with top-notch performance.

9 year old boy riding the cleary meerkat 24 inch bike

SEAT HEIGHT: 25″ – 32″
WEIGHT: 28.3 lb. (with pedals)
READ MORE: Cleary Meerkat 24 Review

With a 5-speed internally geared hub, hydraulic disc brakes, and a durable steel frame, the Meerkat is a uniquely rugged bike that has a lot to offer kids riding on various terrains. The Meerkat is derailleur-free, which allows for more time for riding and a lot less time doing maintenance.

With top-notch Tektro hydraulic disc brakes that are usually reserved for true mountain bikes, the Meerkat offers plenty of stopping power for added confidence and safety. To smooth the ride, the Meerkat is the only bike on this list to feature a steel frame that helps to absorb vibrations and chatter from the trail. The heavier steel frame, however, makes it less suitable for really timid riders.

Provides a smooth ride that our testers loved
Internally geared hub – no finicky derailleur
Steel vibration-absorbing frame
Responsive Tektro hydraulic disc brakes
Highly adaptable frame – can convert to a regular derailleur and is suspension corrected to maintain geometry if suspension fork is added
Heavier than similarly-priced bikes
Fewer gears less ideal for true trail riding

Highly adjustable fit

WEIGHT: 20.3 lbs.
READ MORE: Frog 62 Review

Hailing from bike enthusiast parents in the UK, Frog Bikes is another kid-focused bike brand that designs their bikes top-to-bottom for kids.

The components on the Frog are top notch – like Tektro v-brakes and Shimano trigger shifters. To top it off, the Frog is one of the few 24 inch bikes that is compatible with a rear rack for bike commuting. It also comes in 7 different colors and patterns!

Versatile for everyday riding, mild all-terrain, and longer distances
Highly adjustable headset, stem length, and saddle height for a precision fit
Lightweight aluminum frame
Tektro short-reach levers are responsive and easy to activate
Tons of color options
Trigger shifters can be difficult for some kids to master

How to Choose the Best 24 inch Bike for your 8 to 10-Year-Old

Here’s a quick summary of what to look for when selecting the best bike for your 8 to 10-year-old.

Boys vs Girls 24 inch Bikes

It’s important to note that a boys 24 inch bike and a girls 24 inch bike are the same thing. All of the bikes on this list are for boys or girls, with the same frames and components. They do offer different color options, which are in an array of typical girl colors and gender neutral colors.

Siz ing for 24 Inch Bikes

24 inch kids’ bikes are generally the best fit for 8, 9, and 10-year-olds or any child between 49″ and 59″ tall. If your child is already 11 or is a very tall 10-year-old, also consider 26″ bikes as they would offer more room for growth.

Kids this age are generally confident enough riders to set their seat about 3″ above the child’s inseam. At this seat height, a child can touch the ground with their tiptoes, which produces the best knee bend angle for pedaling with maximum efficiency.

As with all kids’ bikes, within a given wheel size category, the minimum and maximum seat heights of 24 inch bikes can vary. Always check the bike’s minimum seat height against your child’s inseam.

The height adjustability of 24 inch bikes range from 5″ – 8″, which allows kids to ride 24 inch bikes much longer than other sizes.

Weight – light is better, but more expensive

Ideally, your child’s bike will be less than 40% of their body weight. This ratio is more important when a child is younger and just learning to ride, but is still applicable for your 8 and 9-year-olds. In most cases, the lighter the bike, the easier the bike is to ride.

In regards to weight, be cautious about purchasing a 24 inch bike with a suspension fork as they can add a lot of unnecessary weight to a bike. In most cases, the weight a suspension fork adds to the bike quickly negates the benefits of having suspension.

Best Frame Design – depends on riding style

This 10 Best list is mainly comprised of bikes we would classify as neighborhood bikes or for light trail use. The geometry of these bikes, however, can vary greatly. Some bikes place kids in a more upright position, which is better suited for more timid and casual riders, while others place riders in a more aggressive, leaned forward position, which is better for more adventurous riders.

difference in bike geometry between 24 inch bikes

Brake Types are more varied on 24 inch bikes

Dual-hand brakes are the standard braking system on most 24 inch bikes. A few will have coaster brakes , but for the most part, they will have either dual v-pull brakes, disc brakes (mechanical and hydraulic), or Guardian Bikes’ unique SureStop braking system.

V-Pull Brakes

Standard V-pull brakes work great for the mass majority of 8 to 11-year-olds, but the quality and performance of V-brakes varies from bike to bike. High-quality, high-performing brakes are easy for kids to activate and don’t require them to exert a lot of pressure on the lever.

The brakes on higher-end bikes such as woom, Priority, Pello, and Cleary are far superior to any handbrake found on a bike at a big box store. These brands also feature short-reach levers that place the brake lever closer to the child’s hand, only requiring kids to barely extend their fingers to activate the brake.

V-Pull vs. Disc Brake

Disc Brakes

High-quality disc brakes offer more stopping power than V-brakes and perform better in wet conditions. Disc brakes are more expensive and found only on higher-end bikes.

Guardian’s SureStop Brakes

Guardian’s unique patented braking system allows kids to activate both the rear and front brake with ONE brake lever. Upon pulling the single brake lever, the rear brake is activated, which is turn activates the front wheel’s brake.

As a result, it’s impossible for kids to “endo”, or be bucked off the bike by braking with only the front brake because the SureStop system prevents the front brake from being activated until after the rear brake has.

Gears – Common and more necessary on 24 inch bikes

Gears are essential to tackle long flat roads, hilly neighborhoods, dirt trails, and single track. By the time a child is 8 or 9-years-old, they’re probably tackling these terrains that make it beneficial to shift gears.

They’re also at an age when they should be able to manage the complexity of shifting without too much trouble. And as they grow with the bike, those gears will eventually become second nature.

side by side images of Pello Reyes and Prevelo Alpha Four 24 inch bike

24 inch bikes are typically available with 7 or 8 gears, but the gearing on each bike can be very different, even if they have the same number of gears. The gearing range (difference between the highest and lowest gears) is usually wider on more expensive bikes, allowing kids greater flexibility to tackle longer climbs and gain greater speeds.

Most 24 inch bikes are available with grip shifters, which kids activate by twisting the grip with the palm of their hand. Some more aggressive bikes have trigger shifters, which are activated by pulling or pushing on levers with the fingers. In general, grip shifters are preferred by more timid or beginning riders as they are often easier and more intuitive to use. Aggressive riders typically prefer trigger shifters.

Trigger vs Grip Shifter

trigger shifters versus grip shifters on a 24 inch bikes

Parents sometimes get a little sticker shock when they start shopping for a 24 inch bike. A larger bike is just going to cost more in general, and as kids get older, components often get more advanced to keep up with a child’s more advanced riding.

Every bike on this list is pretty incredible and significantly better than a bike you’ll find at Walmart. But of course, they cost more! If your child truly loves riding, try to stick to the bikes on this list. If they are beyond your budget, try to find one used. But in the end, any bike is better than no bike at all, so do whatever it takes to keep your kid riding!

Trek road bikes you can buy today

Trek's road bike range explained.

With a history spanning some four decades, the Trek Bicycle Corporation has become one of the foremost bicycle makers in the world, and a perennial staple in our list of the best road bikes . What started out as a small steel frame-building company operating out of a carpet warehouse in Waterloo, Wisconsin, has grown enormously into a global leader of bicycle design and innovation. The Trek road bike range is based around three anagrammatic models; Domane, Madone, and Emonda - nominally the endurance, aero, and climbing bikes respectively. All are available in an array of build options, with the Domane and Emonda also available in both carbon and aluminium guises.

Trek has a history of innovating in the world of bicycle manufacture, with a particular emphasis on pioneering new materials. Bonded aluminium and carbon construction was lifted from the aerospace industry in the '80s, creating the 2000 and 2500 framesets. The lessons learned from bonded carbon were then poured into the manufacture of the brand's first full-carbon frameset, the 5000. Nowadays it has its own patented in-house carbon fibre, known as OCLV (optimum compaction low void) which is on a par with aerospace-specific alternatives

Trek continues to disrupt the industry from a manufacturing standpoint, but first and foremost it makes bikes for riders; the manufacturing innovation is only a means to an end. For some that means the very best commuter bikes , for others that means the best touring bikes , and for a lot of riders that means racing at the highest levels. It's no great surprise that Trek has become a big player in the world of gravel cycling too, and it also features on our list of the best gravel bikes . Whatever your interests in cycling, Trek has options. If you are thinking about something from the Trek road bike range, keep reading to see all the details about what's available.

Trek Domane

Specifications, reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The latest model of the Trek Domane has gone through a complete makeover. The comfort-enhanced model in the Trek road bike range picks up a number of aerodynamic details, along with an all-new Isospeed decoupler design (additional flex at the steerer and seat post) and space in the frame and fork for up to 38mm of the best road bike tyres you'd care to cram in. These are changes that make the Domane an incredibly versatile road bike. The lineup is perfect for all-day comfort and the new Domane+ LT, makes our list of the best electric road bikes too.

The Domane is available in three frame types. For the budget minded, you'll want to look at the aluminium Domane AL; it's the most accessible in terms of price, and the only option for fans of a rim brake. It's entry level but it doesn't leave off the performance and adds options for racks for commuters, though it can only fit 35mm tyres rather than the 38mm max on the carbon models.

Moving up the range, the next option is the mid-range Domane SL. Stepping up to the SL means a move to 500 series OCLV carbon fibre. That opens up access to a dual IsoSpeed decoupler system, not found on the alloy version, for comfort-enhancing vibration damping. It also means space for larger tyres and storage in the downtube. If you'd like to stick with rim brakes there aren't any options for a fully built bike in the SL range but you can still get a rim brake option of the frameset.

The top-tier Domane SLR is also carbon fibre but it's a lighter 700 series OCLV. It still carries the dual IsoSpeed decoupler, but it's an upgraded adjustable version also seen on the aero focussed Madone. Like the SL, there's no fully built rim brake option available but you can still get an SLR frameset in a rim brake format.

Depending on your taste, and budget, builds are available from Claris-level at one end, through to SRAM Red eTap at the other extreme, with most options in between available.

Trek Emonda

For years, the Emonda had been the lightweight option in the Trek road bike lineup, and one of the usual suspects in our lineup of the best lightweight bikes . This is the bike to grab when you want to head to the mountains. As technology has progressed though the modern climber's bike has somewhat disappeared; brands have been slowly moving away from labelling their lightest offering as a 'climbing bike', and instead pivoting to selling it as an all-round option, for both up hill and down dale. Trek is no different in this regard, with the Emonda filling its all-rounder spot. It's no lump though, if weight is your concern.

While the Emonda is still the bike you'd want to turn to on the steep uphill segments, it's more than that now. Aero-optimisation and disc brakes take it away from a bike only for the mountains to a much more well-rounded option. In some ways it's defined more by what it isn't than what it is. It's not the all-out aero bike and it's not an endurance bike. The Emonda is the lightest of the options but it's also a bike that does a little bit of everything.

Available models for the Emonda still cover a wide range in much the same way as the Domane, with an aluminium option at one end, with a rim brake frameset option, and two tiers of carbon above it. The SL represents the middle ground with a carbon frame at a more affordable price. Then, at the top of the range, sits the SLR with a new ultralight 800 series OCLV carbon construction. There's even an SLR frameset with a more aggressive geometry available for those competing at the highest levels or fans of ultra-responsive handling.

Trek Madone

The Madone sits at the top of the range as Trek's most purebred race bike. It's aero optimised in every way, and features among our list of the best aero road bikes too. Being the range topper means that it's the most expensive option in the Trek lineup but that has more to do with a lack of low-end options rather than it necessarily being vastly more expensive. There are only SLR and SL models available, meaning no entry level aluminium choice to be had.

After years of aero bikes carrying a reputation for being harsh and uncomfortable, Trek went in a different direction. It was the first to market its aero bike as not just aerodynamically fast, but also fast because of its comfort, primarily thanks to the addition of the IsoSpeed decoupler system lifted from the Domane.

Of course, comfort isn't the only trick for the Madone; integrated cables feature heavily, along with fully integrated cockpits on the top end models. Even lower models, without an integrated cockpit, look to cheat the wind, with truncated aerofoil tube shapes and aerodynamically optimised disc brakes. Tyre width is however much more limited than with other models, topping out at 28mm.

Trek Speed Concept

The Trek Speed Concept is the Trek solution for triathletes who want the very best. For years the design had been stagnant but that all changed at the end of 2021. The brand new 2022 Trek Speed Concept is all new and faster than it's ever been before. Compared to the previous version, Trek claims the new bike saves a full six minutes over the Kona full Ironman race course.

Moving away from a solely wind-tunnel focus, Trek has sought to create a bike that works as an entire system, rather than simply a lab-optimised object. The system approach means hydration and storage helps make not only the bike faster, but also the rider. There's an available between-the-arms (BTA) bottle that enhances aerodynamics by smoothing air between the arms and a clip allows you to drink without leaving the aero bars. It's also easy to refill during a race with a port on the top that accepts the nozzle of another bottle.

While the BTA bottle is a separate purchase, the downtube bottle comes with every Speed Concept bike. Capacity is 750 ml and, like the BTA bottle, it also enhances aerodynamics; the system is 14 per cent faster when the bottle is in place.

Outside of hydration there are two additional storage solutions onboard and included. The two bottles cover opportunities to enhance aerodynamics so the storage doesn't make the bike more aero. Instead, the bento box and the flat repair storage take advantage of the increased frame space to hide from the wind.

The once-simple exercise of choosing a bicycle has become an appreciably complex decision owing to a plethora of new riding disciplines and technological advancements.

There are four different types of road bikes available in Trek’s current catalogue — aero, endurance, time trial, and climbing/do-it-all, each of which differs based on design and function.

As the name suggests aero road bikes are designed for speed while still retaining some form of compliance and comfort. Climbing bikes are ideal for hilly/mountainous routes and are pretty decent all-rounders. Endurance bikes offer a combination of durability and comfort while time-trial bikes are more outlandish-looking in their appearance and built for speed.

Trek offers a wide selection of specifications for each of the models in its range. Most of the brand's road frames are available in three different types of carbon, as well as aluminium and denoted by SLR (Trek's lightest OCLV carbon), SL (mid-range OCLV carbon) or AL (Aluminium).

Different geometry options are also available on certain models, with the majority featuring regular H2 geometry and some offered in the more aggressive H1 geometry, designed specifically for racing.

The Best Trek Bikes You Can Buy Right Now

The Wisconsin-headquartered company has local values and a global impact.

Trek’s founding story is out of a Hollywood director’s mind and a non-fiction writer’s wish list: In 1976, Bevill Hogg and Dick Burke drank beers at the Pine Knoll Supper Club in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, and debated over the name of their would-be cycling company. They settled on Trek and soon went to work in a barn between Madison and Milwaukee, where a total of five employees built the brand’s first bikes out of steel. The company is still based near the barn that facilitated its first years—its modern headquarters are in Waterloo, Wisconsin.

“We’re a uniquely American success story from small-town USA,” said brand manager Eric Bjorling. “So many of the values that have led to Trek’s success—hard work, craftsmanship, responsibility, commitment to our customers—are Wisconsin values.”

Its values may be hyper-local and American, but it’s now a company at the center of a globalized cycling market that has made industry-leading technological advances.

A recent example of Trek’s “industry-leading technological advances” mentioned above is IsoSpeed, which is available at the front and rear on certain Trek models. The rear decoupler is at the junction of the seat and top tube, and the front decoupler is located at the top of the headset.

Photography, Still life photography, Macro photography,

The front IsoSpeed decoupler allows the fork steerer tube to flex more than it would with a fixed upper headset cup, which helps damp some impacts. The rear IsoSpeed decoupler provides increased vertical seat tube deflection (compared to a traditional fixed seat tube design) for a smoother ride. The rear IsoSpeed system is adjustable on the latest Madone and Domane models, which lets the rider adjust the compliance level for terrain and or personal preference. You might not even need to adjust the rear slider to experience the road-smoothing effects of the two decouplers—our test team found that the all-over effect was fast and smooth performance equally suited to asphalt and cobbles.

Famed Classics specialist Fabian Cancellara, who retired from racing as a member of World Tour team Trek-Segafredo, worked with Trek engineers to develop the final version of IsoSpeed, which is especially useful on the cobbles and other rough surfaces that riders encounter on most Classics courses. Since the tech’s 2012 release on the Domane, Trek has claimed that IsoSpeed doesn’t sacrifice power transfer at the cost of more compliance.

Along with bolstering its ride-smoothing technologies, Trek has also begun implementing internal-storage compartments in the downtube of some of its road and mountain bikes. These handy “trap doors” debuted in the new Domane and Fuel EX, where an included organizer roll has pockets for a tube, CO2 cartridge, inflator head, and tire lever.

Trek has also started moving away from women’s specific bikes and adopting a “more bikes for everyone” ethos, where all bikes are offered in unisex sizing. The idea is that this will ensure that no matter your gender, you’ll have access to the full array of paint colors, build kits, and sizes.

And of course, Trek continues to roll out exciting new bikes. This year’s slate includes the third generation of the popular Domane roadster (now with even more ride-smoothing technology) and fully revamped versions of the Fuel EX and Top Fuel mountain bikes, which are both more capable than ever.

If you’re in the market for a road, mountain, or city bike (or any other style), Trek likely has something made for you.

How We Chose

Trek is among the most popular bike brands and has one of the most extensive bike lines in the world. Because it makes a lot of bikes—and a lot of bikes that our readers want to know about—our test team evaluates, rides, and reviews many Trek models throughout the year. This is not a complete overview of all of Trek’s models, but a focused list of the best. These are the Trek bikes that offer exceptional performance, value, technology, or features (or some combination of all four).

Domane slr 7, trek domane slr 7.

The third-generation of the Domane isn’t just the best Domane; it’s Trek’s best-ever road bike. And it’s one of the best road bikes on the market right now thanks to an equal blend of performance, comfort, practicality, and versatility. The Domane got more aerodynamic than the previous iteration (saving 12 watts at 40Kph), it takes at least a 38mm tire, and has hidden fender mounts and sleek internal storage. It also features compliance-enhancing decouplers front and rear that improve rider comfort and control without detracting from the bike’s pedaling efficiency or handling. The Domane’s steering is light and its handling precise, but with a mellower edge and more stability than a traditional road racing bike.

―best women’s trail bike―, $1,259.99 trek roscoe 7.

There’s so much to love about this bike. The SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain, with a 30t chainring and 10-50t cassette, gives a massive range of gears and plenty of low-range options for easing the pain of climbing steep hills. Its 27.5-inch wheels are maneuverable in tight, technical terrain, and the 2.8-inch tubeless-ready tires offer great traction and a plush ride. The RockShox Judy Silver fork has plenty of travel for getting rowdy (1oomm for size the extra-small frame size, 120mm for small through large) and can be locked out for more efficient off-trail riding. And speaking of rowdy, a 100mm dropper post is a very cool addition to a bike at this price.

—BEST FIRST “REAL” MOUNTAIN BIKE―

Trek marlin 7.

The Marlin 7, which also comes in a women’s version , is ideal for aspiring racers, everyday trail riders, and casual commuters alike. Riders who like to pedal fast will appreciate its steep, aggressive head and seat angles, and a high bottom bracket that offers decent pedal clearance on the trail. Its cables are internally routed, too, which isn’t common on bikes at this price. It has a 2x9-speed Shimano drivetrain, which strays from the single-chainring trend that’s popular on off-road bikes at the moment but also provides plenty of gearing options. And even though the RockShox XC30 100mm coil-spring fork is heavier than some comparable air-spring models, it does a surprisingly good job on super-rocky trails. Add to that the 2.2-inch-wide Bontrager tires on 29-inch Bontrager Connection rims, which never squirmed too much on sketchy terrain, and you have a bike that not only looks fast but offers the kind of sharp handling and precise steering you’d expect from higher-priced racing models.

―BEST ELECTRIC ROAD BIKE―

Trek domane+ hp.

The Domane+ e-road bike is the electric version of, naturally, the popular Domane. It’s designed for riders who appreciate that bike’s reliable comfort and IsoSpeed technology but want the added fun and function of e-assist. It’s also the ideal companion for anyone coming back from injury, slower riders who want to mix it up with a speedy group, and couples with different fitness levels. A Bosch Performance Speed motor provides a very welcome 28 mph of pedal assist, and the 500Wh Powertube battery sleekly integrates into the down tube. You also get massive tire clearance, fender and rack compatibility, and Trek’s Blendr stem for cleanly mounting accessories such as lights and computers to your handlebar.

―BEST NEW XC BIKE―

Supercaliber 9.9, trek supercaliber 9.9 xx1 axs.

The new Supercaliber is the brand’s latest attempt to create the ultimate XC race bike by merging the best attributes of a hardtail (stiffness, low weight) and full-suspension (traction, comfort, control) frame into one. And based on our rides, it’s the closest yet to that best-of-both-worlds machine with 60mm of rear travel. Trek’s IsoStrut design places a Fox Float shock into a tube—both ends of that tube are bolted to the underside of the SuperCal’s top tube. At the top of the seat stays is a sleeve (Trek calls it a carriage) that slides over the bolted-in tube. Cutouts in the tube allow a cross bolt to pass through the sleeve, the tube, and the rear shock eyelet. Trek says this design eliminates rotation around the shock shaft and prevents side-loading the shaft so the bike has the stiffness and feel of a hardtail, but with real full suspension for better comfort and control. And based on back to back testing with a hardail, the Supercaliber is everything it was designed to be.

―BEST VALUE HARDTAIL―

Procaliber 9.7, trek procaliber 9.7.

Trek did a masterful job with this bike, skimping in the right places to save money and splurging in the areas that count for performance. The carbon frame is extremely lightweight; our size XL test bike weighed in at only 21.6 pounds. The IsoSpeed decoupler at the junction of the seat tube and top tube offers so much vertical compliance you can actually see the seat tube moving if you bounce on the saddle. Tubeless-ready Bontrager Kovee Elite 23 carbon wheels also keep weight in check and roll very quickly when wrapped in (stock) 2.2-inch Bontrager XR2 Team Issue tires. Be warned, though, these are race-day tires for dry conditions and not well suited to daily trail riding or muddy courses. SRAM’s GX Eagle drivetrain and alloy SRAM X1 Eagle crank keep cost in check and can stand up to plenty of hard riding and abuse. They do add significant weight, though, which makes this bike’s overall lightness all the more impressive. Our tester was surprised, however, to find a narrow 720mm handlebar. He said it felt strange at first but didn’t notice it anymore after a few minutes of riding.

―BEST ENTRY-LEVEL RACER―

Domane al 2, trek domane al 2 disc.

The good looks of the Domane AL 2 are the first indication that Trek didn’t mess around with this bike. Start digging deeper and you’ll find even more to like. The shaped aluminum frame is nicely made and has a vibration-damping carbon fork. The rims are tubeless-ready so you can upgrade to smoother-rolling tires filled with puncture sealant. And new for 2021, the Domane AL 2 is outfitted with disc brakes. That does come with a bump in price—the previous version with rim brakes was only $860. But if you ride in variable weather conditions, the more reliable performance from disc brakes may save your bacon. The shifters snick-snick the drivetrain through the gears lightly and crisply. There are other little surprising nuggets, like the pocket in the frame for a speed sensor and the included light and computer mount that cleanly integrates into the stem. Best of all, the bike is a joy to ride. Handling is stable, precise, and attentive to pedal strokes so you feel like you’re flying over the road, not pushing across it.

—BEST MARATHON BIKE—

Top fuel 9.9, trek top fuel 9.9 x01.

While the 2019 Top Fuel featured 100mm of travel in the front and back, the new top-of-the-line Top Fuel 9.9 has 120mm of front suspension and 115mm in the rear. Trek also did away with the floating mount that compressed the shock from both ends. Instead, the lower eyelet is fixed to the downtube, a change that reduces weight and improves stiffness. Tires are also beefed up. Instead of skinny race-oriented ones, this model comes with 29x2.40-inch Bontrager XR3 Team Issue rubber designed for a variety of riding conditions. Gnar capability is further enhanced thanks to a frame that’s slacker and longer. And it’s spec’d with a shorter stem and wider bars.

—BEST ROAD RACE BIKE—

Madone slr 9 disc, trek madone slr 9.

It’s no longer debatable that “disc brakes aren’t aero enough to race on.” Tell that to the now numerous Tour de France stage winners who’ve won highly contested sprints on disc-brake-equipped bikes. And try telling that to Mads Pedersen , who rode to the World Championship title on this bike. The Madone SLR 9 Disc is the premier aerodynamic offering from Trek. The SLR 9 Disc’s frame is made from 700 Series OCLV carbon and features an adjustable IsoSpeed, which can be set to create more or less frame compliance. This technology gives the bike versatility to suit the rider and the route. Pro-level components include a full Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset (50/34 crankset, 11-28 cassette), flat-mount hydraulic disc brakes, Bontrager Aeolus XXX 6 carbon wheels (tubeless-ready), and a Madone-specific seatpost, headset, and handlebar. Models range from $6,000 to $12,000.

—BEST FOR GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL—

The 1120 is a bikepacking beast, ready for your next days-long adventure as soon as you leave the shop. Complete with an aluminum frame, carbon fork, 1x11-speed Shimano SLX groupset, and bulbous Bontrager Chupacabra 29x3-inch tires, the bike’s components are capable of helping you ride through challenging terrain deep in the backcountry. What’s more, the 1120 comes stock with front and rear racks that will hold plenty of gear.

—BEST KID’S MOUNTAIN BIKE—

Trek roscoe 24.

The Roscoe 24 is a great bike for older children who want to take their riding skills off road. Designed to accommodate riders between 4-foot-2 and 5-foot-3, this bike comes with 24-inch wheels, 2.8-inch tires, a 1x8-speed Shimano groupset, and Tektro mechanical disc brakes, making it a well-equipped bike for younger riders as they learn how to navigate trails.

—BEST COLLEGE BIKE—

The 820 is Trek’s answer to people who just a want solid, reliable, and affordable bike to ride. With a steel frame, a fork with 75mm of travel, and 26 by 2-inch-wide tires, the 820 is labeled as an entry-level hardtail mountain bike. This steed would be great for college students looking for a reliable commuter and way to explore local trails or a family looking to buy a bike that can be used by several people for a variety of purposes. A 7-speed Shimano Tourney groupset, with a 42/34/24 crank and a 14-28 cassette, will enable almost any level of rider to get where they’re going.

—BEST FITNESS BIKE—

Trek fx 3 disc.

The name “ hybrid bike ” mean different things to different people. To some, it indicates a ride good as both a way to habitually exercise and explore. To others, it may only be a tool for good-weather fun. With an aluminum frame, carbon fork, and 32mm Bontrager H2 Hard-Case Lite tires, the Trek FX 3 Disc can be enjoyed by, and comfortable for, almost any sort of rider. The 9-speed Shimano Acera groupset features a 46/30 crank, 11-36 cassette, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

—BEST BUDGET ROAD RACER—

Emonda alr 5 disc, trek émonda alr 5.

You’d be forgiven for thinking the new Émonda ALR 5 Disc is full carbon. But it’s not. It’s an aluminum race bike with the same geometry as Trek’s carbon Émonda frames. The ALR 5 Disc comes stock with a full Shimano 105 drivetrain, a compact 50/34 crankset, an 11-28 cassette, and hydraulic flat-mount disc brakes.
