24” HARO FLIGHTLINE - BLACK
In our massive 24-inch kids mountain bike range, the Haro Flightline 24 must be on your short list.
That’s because it’s one of those super well designed kids bikes; almost perfect ergonomics, stable handling which is perfect for learner riders and light weight (even with front suspension).
In this preview, we’ll go into a little more detail about Flightline 24 and what is so unique about it.
And it all starts with the frame (which is made from aluminium alloy).
This is key.
It’s all about the length and the angles (in short - the geometry).
Haro designed the Flightline 24 so that it has a low centre of gravity. The slight kink in the top bar allows them to keep the seat tube on the shorter side.
This has 2 benefits.
One, it means riders who are between the 20-inch and 24-inch, can fit onto the Flightline 24 with more ease (because the seat goes down lower).
And two, that low centre of gravity gives the Flightline a more “grounded” feel especially at speed. While they’re learning it will give them more confidence because the bike doesn’t feel “top heavy” and cumbersome to move around.
Haro has also kept the gears simple.
There’s 1 front gear that is paired to 7 rear gears. This means there’s a LOT less moving parts (that also require servicing) such as the front gear shifter, gear cable and front derailleur.
As you can see from the image above, near the pedals there’s no complicated moving parts. Clean and simple.
And notice the largest cog on the back gears. It’s Shimano’s MegaRange cog. It simply means, kids have a MUCH easier gear to climb up hills with. So if you ride near hills, this will make riding up one a lot more manageable.
Shimano’s grip shifter design (see below) requires a twist of the wrist to change gears (there’s 7 of them on the Flightline 24).
It’s also worth mentioning that Haro has used all aluminium alloy components to shed as much weight. This includes rims, stem, bars, cranks and seat post.
