The Trek Wahoo 24 Path uses geometry inspired by adult bikes, scaled for a child from 1.30 to 1.50 m. An Alpha Silver aluminium frame, 127 mm cranks and a 580 mm handlebar make up a 9.80 kg package according to Trek. Fjord Blue is a fresh, light blue that brings to mind the water of a mountain lake.

For the sporty child who wants an efficient, no-frills bike and often rides with adults. For parents who care about position: a well-sized bike prevents knee pain and makes them want to pedal for longer.
Alpha Silver aluminium for a nimble 24-inch bike. This grade of Trek alloy is the basis of every Wahoo. Combined with an alloy fork and 24-inch wheels, it keeps the bike under 10 kg while still offering 8 speeds.
| Wahoo 24 Path (this bike) | Wahoo 24 Trail | Precaliber 24 suspension | |
| Frame | Alpha Silver, adult-bike style | Alpha Silver, mountain bike style | Alpha Silver, rack mounts |
| Fork / brakes | Alloy, V-brake | Rigid, hydraulic discs | 45 mm suspension, V-brake |
| Tyres | Connection Comp 2.00 in | Kenda Amrak 2.20 in | Bontrager XR1 2.25 in |
| What it means | Lively and light: 9.80 kg | More at home on trails: 10.50 kg | Absorbs bumps but 11.90 kg |
In other words: between the Wahoo 24 Path (9.80 kg) and the Precaliber 24 suspension (11.90 kg), there is more than 2 kg of difference. For a child, that difference is felt on every climb and at every start.
Cranks that are too long force a child to lift their knees too high; cranks that are too short rob them of power. The 127 mm cranks on this Wahoo are in proportion to a child's legs at this height, making pedalling smooth and less tiring.
The 50 mm Bontrager Comp stem is compatible with Blendr lights, and the saddle also has a mount for a rear light. The 270 mm seatpost offers plenty of adjustment to keep up with growth.
| Model | Wheels / child's height | Gears | Brakes | Weight |
| Wahoo 20 Path | 20 in / 1.14 to 1.32 m | 8 | V-brake | 8.75 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 |
| Wahoo 26 Path | 26 in / 1.46 to 1.60 m | 8 | V-brake | 10.20 kg |
Our take: between the Wahoo 20 Path (8.75 kg) and the 26 Path (10.20 kg), this 24-inch bike sits in the middle of the range. For rocky tracks, the Wahoo 24 Trail adds hydraulic discs for 700 g more.

| Why 127 mm cranks? | They are in proportion to the leg length of a child from 1.30 to 1.50 m. |
| Is the saddle comfortable? | It is padded and designed for children; we adjust its height and angle. |
| Can it be ridden at night? | With Blendr lights fitted on the stem and saddle, yes, and always with a helmet. |
| Is the light blue a pastel? | It is a fresh, bright blue, bolder than a pastel. |
|
The LVR Cycles verdict A well-proportioned 24-inch Wahoo for a child who already pedals like a grown-up. Its fresh light blue gives it a light, dynamic feel.
