The Falcon Raptor 24'' bike has been designed specifically for junior riders aged 9-12 years with a lightweight frame and performance suspension fork capable of riding over trails. The hi-tensile steel frame is strong and durable while the suspension fork provides extra comfort when the riding gets rough with a soft spring suitable for junior riders. As well as being great looking, the Raptor has a great spec to match. The 6-speed rear gearing is powered by a Shimano rear derailleur and Revoshift shifter, while the front 3 chainrings give a wide range of gears, perfect for tackling steep hills and fast descents. The chainwheel guard protects fingers and clothes and prevents the chain from slipping off the chainring. MTB style pedals provide reassuring grip and the soft compound handlebar grips are durable and comfortable to hold. Braking is taken care of by reliable front and rear V-brakes with specially designed reach-adjustable brake levers that can be adjusted to accommodate smaller hands.
