Hellion X24
WILD THINGS WANTED
REFINED, PROVEN, RACE READY AND ABLE. FOR THE WILD WHEREVER, WHENEVER.
REFINED, PROVEN, RACE READY AND ABLE. FOR THE WILD WHEREVER, WHENEVER.
Another collaboration with the mighty Lil Shredder, a race ready enduro machine born of necessity on the black runs of Whistler. A bike fast enough, plush enough, and responsive enough to run back to back all summer long. This phenomenal machine is the peak of kids' performance bikes and the history of riders that have played a part of the bikes development is beyond comparison.
The HX24 uses a combination of 6061 and 6066 tubing to give the best possible stiffness to weight ratio. Frame components are fully CNC’d, single pivot suspension kinematics giving predictable and durable performance. Progressive geometry combines with the world's best aluminum frame maker, the HX24 is clean, simple and proven. It’s all hidden in the detail; stealth dropper post ready, ISCG tabs & a 4 bearing pivot.
Out of the box the bike comes setup in the 4 “ travel position, a fantastic and appropriate trail rig. But drop the rear shock mount into the 5” position, and see the headtube slacken by 1.5 degree, bb drop and turn the bike into a descending hooner!
A market leading 1 x11 Shimano clutch equipped drivetrain with a huge gear range. Rapid fire shifters for immediate transitioning, direct mounts cranks, narrow wide chainrings and external bottom bracket for super smooth drive transfer to an immensely capable wheel set. Tubeless ready, double walled rims, CNCd' straight pull hubs on thru axles and running high thread count folding tyres.
Supported by light actuating Shimano hydraulic brakes that provide immediate, powerful braking no matter the conditions and a proven 120mm travel RST fork specifically chosen to complement the geometry of the bike. The Hellion X24 is the bike that showed that kids can do everything that adults can do, if they have the right tools.

This is our third Early Rider going all the way back to our daughter’s 1st pedal bike at 3 years old. Her progression, confidence and love for biking all came from having gear that was high quality and lightweight that she could grow into.
Fast forward to today and she’s 7 years old (tall for her age) and sending it on a bike and on terrain that I didn’t progress to until I was an adult. I can’t overstate the quality of the Hellion X line- these are absolutely the kid sized versions of the coolest $8k downhill bike a parent can ride. Excellent quality on the frame and great choices made on all components- each customizable and ready to tune as she grows and changes her riding style. Ready for anything she’ ll be able to throw at it.
The price point is more than fair for what you get and it’s really an investment in the rider you’re trying to develop. There’s a difference between price and value- and the value here is unquestionable.
I can’t say enough about these bikes- they have been fundamental in creating my shredder and I’m very grateful to Early Rider for making something like this available in the market. These bikes fuel the stoke of our entire family to get out and ride!

This bike was bought for my daughter, she had another brand 24" full sus bike but just couldn't get on with it. She had come off a 24" hellion hardtail and a 20" hellion before that. I should have stuck with what we already knew. Early Rider make amazing children's bikes that are fit for the purpose and can handle anything a full size bike can. We have been so impressed with the bikes we've had. And their customer service has been second to none. I cross threaded a bolt being heavy handed, they sent out a replacement the same day for free. I had an issue with the forks, again it was me, they just needed more air in them, the mechanic team talked me through it without making me feel the plonker I am!
The only negative is that you don't make a bigger size!
Thanks Everyone at Early Rider

Everything was excellent and my son is super happy! The only issue I had was after setting up the wheels and tires tubeless the Vee tan wall tires would not hold air and leaked out of the sidewall badly. I swapped On some Maxxis rubber and they sealed perfectly.

I bought the Early Rider Hellion X24 thinking it would be a lightweight and great bike for Downhill, Trail, and XC (like marketed). This bike is not that. First off, they market this as a "gravity bike" (downhill bike), but the suspension fork (which is a major component) specifically says “Do not use for downhill, freeride, or jumping” ON THE FORK. A bike marketed for these things should not have a warning sticker on the fork that says not to do those things with the bike. The fork also feels terrible, it's sticky and harsh going over anything. The rear shock also does not have enough travel for any "real" bike park riding (like marketed). It will get you through the greens and blues just fine, but for anything more I would look elsewhere. (I have done an 8 foot drop on it and it held fine, but it was not safe.) The user manual claims the bike is not intended for anything above a blue, and not to do drops over 2 feet. The website says nothing of this. I would strongly advise you to look at other brands with much better advanced kids bikes like Norco, Commencal, Vpace, Cube, Transition, even Rocky Mountain. We also contacted Early Rider for different reasons multiple times and got no response.

a super cool bike i love it 🤟
This really is an amazing bike, simply on of the best on the market when you look at size, components, weight and features. It does comes at a cost, but my son loves it. This is my third Early Rider bike, and it hasn't disappointed. My son has read the manual himself cover to cover, knows all the weight to pressure settings for the shocks and everything he needs to know about the bike. Thanks Early Rider for creating a bike that is truly special within this market segment 🤘🏼

All positive things to say about this bike. Good craftsmanship, good components, relatively light weight compared to comparable bikes. My kid chose the "raw" frame color, and it looks great.
