Dartmoor Rocbird Junior 26/24 – full-suspension kids' mountain bike
The Dartmoor Rocbird Junior 26/24 is a full-suspension kids' mountain bike for riders 130–145 cm tall who have outgrown a hardtail and want to ride trail, enduro and freeride lines at the bike park. The 6061-T6 aluminium frame gives 130 mm of rear travel, up front an air-sprung X-Fusion Velvet RL2 fork delivers 140 mm. The shock comes with a kids' tune, and the fork is set by air pressure to the child's weight. Wheels run a mini-mullet setup: 26" front, 24" rear. Shifting is Microshift Advent Junior 1×9, braking is hydraulic Tektro with short junior levers. Built for young shredders who ride all day with their parents and don't want to be left behind on the descents. The 2026 model comes in a gloss Copper Orange / Light Orange fade.
