Thanks for this video, I've been riding a 24" Norco hard tail for the past year, and thanks to your recommendation we're going to get a Norco FS1 24" soon. I was deciding between the Norco FS1, FS2, and a used Commencal Clash 24. And based on the reviews, I'm going for the Norco FS1. Thanks a lot for your reviews, insights and tips, it's really helpful. You really have a niche for us Kids (and Dads) who are riding together on the trails. Subbed! Thanks.
Great video with a lot of important data about 24inch bikes. Based on your review I have builded bike for my son. I have spend weeks to fine tune forks and shock. Finally bike is amazing. Thanks for your job!
Short cranks are great -- we currently have 102mm cranks on my son's 24" -- tried to move him up a little when we moved up from 20" but he complained about wanting more ground clearance. For my own bike I dropped down to 152mm with no noticeable negatives and ran most of last year trying out 140mm. 140mm gets a little harder to apply leverage and generally requires gearing to be a little lower, but I've adjusted well enough that I'm 50/50 on whether to keep them or switch back to 152mm.
My height is 5"7-5"8 I want a mountain bike that is not bulky and large sir without sacrificing power in case of up Hill,. My daily use would be just going to the market..is this 24 inch suits me sir?
Thank you! Loved it as we are looking for one soon. You mentioned a hard tail may be better. How do? I know they are lighter and more efficient. We have lots of rocks and roots here in Kansas and the occasional trip to Bentonville . Was looking at a 1k-ish hard tail or the Marin 24-26 or reaper
Yes, much lighter and less expensive...Bentonville would be perfect for a hardtail. Full suspension bikes and flatter terrain and most 24 full sus can be slow going...the exception is the Maxwell 24 as it’s light weight/hard tail geo.
@@FlatLander121 Depends on the skill and strength of the kiddo in addition to the terrain he/she rides. Lift access and shuttling for sure. If they are non-complaining strong climbers and riding steep/rough tracks...go for it.
Nice vid, I have that carbon fork on a 24 inch Commencal and noticed similar ones on other bikes, It's been a good fork, have you ever found maintenance guide or parts, I'm concerned when it needs work about finding parts for it
Im a 30 YO woman with a 25 inch inseam (4’ 8”) and struggling to find an adult bike. Your video gave me some good leads! Could you suggest something for the tiny adult?

What was the 2nd fork you mentioned? You said it comes under several brands with a carbon brace but never gave it a name to google. Many thanks.
Ilove that size of bike sir, I am a Filipino small man, my height is 5'2 only. I cannot find that size 24 er fulsus here in Philippines.
why would you want a 24" bike?

Too small, but a 27.5 Med. bike
What do you think of the Cube Stereo 240 Pro in regards to specs and geometry? Thinking about getting this one for my little one.
Great Bike, 130 cranks a nice touch, but hard to swallow the price compared to a YT primus which is very similar bike.

The Bike Dads awesome. Thank you. So when would you go for full squish over hard tail? We are mainly trying to dial up confidence on jumps and drops
