For the child who already follows their parents on garrigue tracks, backcountry trails or easy singletrack around Béziers. It suits a motivated young rider who wants to pedal up the hills rather than push their bike.
Alpha Silver aluminium for a real little mountain bike. On the Wahoo 24 Trail, Trek pairs this alloy with a 600 mm handlebar, a short 45 mm stem and an 11-42 cassette: the recipe of an adult mountain bike, scaled down for a child from 1.30 to 1.50 m.
| Wahoo 24 Trail (this bike) | Wahoo 24 Path | Precaliber 24 suspension | |
| Frame | Alpha Silver 24 inch | Alpha Silver 24 inch | Alpha Silver 24 inch |
| Fork / brakes | Rigid, 160 mm hydraulic discs | Alloy, V-brake | 45 mm suspension, V-brake |
| Tyres | Kenda Amrak 2.20 in | Connection Comp 2.00 in | Bontrager XR1 2.25 in |
| What it means | Mountain bike braking and gearing, 10.50 kg | Lighter (9.80 kg), for roads and tracks | Suspension, but 11.90 kg |
In other words: the Wahoo 24 Trail relies on powerful brakes and a wide gear range rather than suspension. It is still 1.40 kg lighter than the Precaliber 24 suspension.
The 11-42 cassette combined with the 30-tooth chainring gives a lowest gear in which the wheel turns less than once per pedal revolution: your child can climb a steep track seated, without wearing themselves out. The KMC X9 chain and Advent derailleur are mountain bike parts, easy to find and to maintain.
The Tektro HD-J285 hydraulic callipers on 160 mm rotors deliver powerful, progressive braking. For a child, it is above all about comfort: they control their speed with one or two fingers, even on a long descent, without their hands tensing up.
| Model | Wheels / child's height | Gears | Brakes | Weight |
| Wahoo 20 Trail | 20 in / 1.14 to 1.32 m | 9 | Hydraulic discs | 9.85 kg |
| Wahoo 24 Path | 24 in / 1.30 to 1.50 m | 8 | V-brake | 9.80 kg |
| Wahoo 24 Trail | 24 in / 1.30 to 1.50 m | 9 | Hydraulic discs | 10.50 kg |
| Precaliber 24 suspension | 24 in / 1.30 to 1.50 m | 8 | V-brake | 11.90 kg |
Our take: compared with the Precaliber 24 suspension, the Wahoo 24 Trail is 1.40 kg lighter and swaps the V-brakes for hydraulic discs. The Precaliber keeps the advantage of a 45 mm suspension fork for children who want more comfort.

LVR sizing advice According to Trek, this Wahoo 24 Trail suits a child from 1.30 to 1.50 m. For off-road riding, your child should be comfortable standing on the pedals with arms and legs bent. Come and try it with them in our Béziers shop.

| Why no suspension? | Trek prioritises low weight; the 2.20-inch tyres already soak up stones well. |
| Are the brakes too powerful? | Hydraulic discs are easy to modulate; we show your child how to use them. |
| How many gears? | Nine, with a single 30-tooth chainring: just one shifter to handle. |
| Is white a good choice for a mountain bike? | It shows the dirt, but a quick rinse makes it look new again in a few minutes. |

The LVR Cycles verdict A real 24-inch mountain bike that lets children climb and descend like the grown-ups, fully in control. Its pure white makes it look smart on the trails and in the garage alike.
