Hornit HERO 24 snapper red
The Hornit HERO 24” kids’ bike is for designed for kids aged 7 to 10 years, with a recommended inside leg measurement of 63 to 78cm and height between 120 and 140cm.
Lightweight, yet sturdy, with a head-turning design, it’s the ultimate bike for school commutes, weekend trails, and all day exploring, for riders who want to go further.
With 24" wheel geared bikes, the ride itself no longer poses problems for cyclists. Kids want to push the boundaries on what can be done on a bike.
8-speed gears in combination with an easy-to-operate trigger shifter expand the bike's range of use and increase the child's mobility, making the HERO 24 a great choice for kids ready to explore further on roads, paths, and light trails, or longer, more adventurous rides.
Hornit HERO - Not all bikes are created equal.

Lightweight
A lighter bike is easier to learn on and means your child will be happy to ride further than on a heavier bike. At 8.82kg, the HERO 24 is among the lightest 24” bikes on the market.

Perfectly proportioned frame
A comfortable riding position is key both on the flats and the uphills. This translates into a geometry that is optimised to allow a leaned-in position and a narrow Q-factor to cater to children’s narrower hips. The lower handlebar position offers more stability, balance, and control, making it quicker and easier to learn.

Child-friendly brakes, bars and grips
Short-reach, adjustable brake levers make it easier for children with small hands, and narrow, child-friendly handlebars with contoured grips improve handling and control.

Maximising efficiency
Given so many children learn on balance bikes, they are ready for a comfortable, sportier riding position. The riding position, crank lengths, and gearing on HERO bikes are all designed for maximum efficiency, so children love them as much as Hornit loves designing them.

Shifting made easy
The microSHIFT Acolyte shifter takes the learning curve out of changing gears. Designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible, microSHIFT’s light, yet positive action, crystal-clear gear indicator, and enough gear range to climb any obstacle, make it perfect for children using gears for the first time.

Lifetime warranty
Hornit stands by the top quality of their bikes. This is why they offer a free lifetime warranty on the frame and forks to the original owner for as long as they own the bike, giving you ultimate peace of mind over safety, durability and all round value.
