Overview
About this bike
Diamondback's Splinter 24 is in a league of its own: a junior full-suspension bike that’s rugged enough for the punishment a young ripper can put a bike through. After seeing so many kids on ill-fitting and outmatched bikes, Diamondback's product team decided to do something about it. The result was an aggressive bike built with lift-served bike parks in mind. With 24-inch wheels and 100mm of custom-valved travel, it’s proportioned to fit smaller riders without compromise. The aluminum frame has butted/formed tubes, just like the big bikes, and features a single-pivot design for simplicity and durability. Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes with 180mm rotors, tough wheels, a SRAM 1×10-speed drivetrain, and Kenda Nevegal tires—they gave careful consideration to every component to make sure it would survive (and wouldn’t break the bank). Endlessly energetic, Splinter 24 riders will be banging out laps long after the grown-ups have retired to the lodge.
