For the child who rides every day: the school run, a lap of the neighbourhood, an afternoon in the park with friends. For parents who want a sturdy bike that is simple to adjust and have serviced, with no complicated mechanics.
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.
The V-brakes grip the alloy rims with plenty of power for a child's weight and can be adjusted in a few minutes. At every visit we check pad wear, especially after rides in the rain, when their effectiveness drops.
The sealed cartridge-bearing headset and 68 mm cartridge bottom bracket protect the mechanics from water and dust. For a bike that sometimes sleeps outside or under a shelter, that is a real guarantee of longevity.
| 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: for daily use on tarmac, this Wahoo 24 Path is lighter than the Wahoo 24 Trail (10.50 kg) and the Precaliber 24 suspension (11.90 kg). The Trail's discs are only worth it if your child really rides off-road.

| When should the brake pads be changed? | When the grooves are worn; we check them at every service. |
| Can it be left outside? | Shelter is better; that said, the sealed bearings limit damage from damp. |
| Does it need servicing? | An annual check of the brakes, chain and gears is recommended. |
| Does the green change shade? | It varies with the light, hence the name Chameleon. |
