Description
Our Pineridge 24 is built to impress with high-performance components — and we’ve made it even lighter with our latest builds! The TC30 suspension fork features 80mm of travel and lightweight carbon lowers, making it the lightest proper 24” suspension fork on the market at just 1475 grams. With 7 awesome frame colors to choose from, your young rider can pick a bike they’ll be stoked to ride.
JUST ARRIVED: Upgrade to our new 100mm travel TC30 carbon fork for only $39.99! (This fork weighs 1600 grams and features a 15mm thru-axle.) Pair it with our Kenda Regolith 2.4” trail tires for the ultimate hardtail 24” trail ripper.
We’re shaving pounds off compared to the competition — and it starts with our 7005 series aluminum frame. While most brands settle for heavier 6000 series aluminum, we prioritize lightweight construction and hand-select premium components to keep weight down. For a 45-pound rider, dropping just 2–3 pounds makes a noticeable difference in handling, climbing, and overall ride performance.

Want to go a bit more custom or full custom on this build? Contact us! As a small family business dedicated to crafting the finest kids' mountain bikes, we're passionate about what we do. Check out our Instagram and custom builds page to see some of our work.
We import frames from Taiwan (unassembled) and assemble each bike to order in Fort Collins, Colorado, using US labor. Unlike many others who import complete bikes, we maintain rigorous quality control by assembling everything from the headset and bottom bracket to the derailleur hanger right here in the US. You can proudly tell your kids that their bike is unique and truly built to order from the frame up in Colorado USA!

“The Trailcraft is a complete game changer climbing is no longer the chore it was on the other bike and my son has really upped his climbing to reap the rewards of the descents with a bike that handles so well.”

I just wanted to thank you for designing and building such awesome bikes!!!
With the the warm weather here in Utah we decided to get in a few rides before winter settles in. (So much for waiting until Christmas!!!)
My boys are riding on a whole new level. They can easily climb in the saddle on climbs where they couldn’t get up even out of the saddle before, on their old bikes.
We rode double the time we could before with plenty of energy left. The boys are having more fun with way less drama, which means I am, too. Money well spent!!!
Thanks again!!

Trailcraft definitely makes the best bike out there in the 24 inch range. My daughter loves her Pineridge 24 and is having more fun on rides. The lighter bike with high quality components has made a world of difference on technical trails and has boosted her confidence. We get more ride time and she is enjoying the sport. Its a plus for both of us!

My eight year old son has had his Pineridge Special Build for about a month now. Immediately when the bike arrived I could see and feel the quality that goes into these bikes. Within just a few short rides my son was already conquering new sections of technical single track, both climbs and descents. I could not be happier with the bike, Trailcraft’s customer service, and most of all the fun times we are having out on our trails.

All I got to say is this bike rocks! I bought my 6 year old the Pineridge 24 and I can’t believe how well he rides it just because it’s so much lighter than his specialized hotrock 20” lol. Bigger and lighter no more front derailleur so it makes it easier and the gearing is so much better with the front 28t sprocket. He’s doing some climbs I didn’t think he would be doing for another year. Pretty impressive how well he’s doing just because of the confidence he’s gotten because of this bike makes our riding experience so much more fun. He can’t wait to race it in the spring! Thanks Brett- your bikes Rock!!!
Chris Bencher –
Thank you Ginger.
Since my son got his Trailcraft, he beats me to the top of all the mountains now – It’s making me look bad. I could not have asked for anything more from his Trailcraft 24…. A perfect bike proportioned for a pre-teen; Thank you so much for filling the gap in the market. The component quality is tops, assembly is super tight, and everything perfectly calibrated. The blue paint is gorgeous; the bike gleams in the sun and makes me salivate every time I just look at it. I feel both pride and envy. It has been more than 1 year of riding and the bike does not even have a single squeak, click, or rattle – and the paint still gleams. Even after a day of riding, the frame seems to be “anti-stick” to the trail-powder and even gleams after the ride (do you Teflon coat these frames?).
Sincerely,
Chris

Echoing what others have said. Trailcraft Cycles Pineridge is a total game changer. On our first trail ride we were making it up hills we have always walked before. The bike came preassembled and was in great shape. I am a bike mechanic and the bike needed no adjustments, no big manufacturer can manage that.
The bike has been named the “Purple Monster” as it is able to “monster” over roots and rocks. We will have smiles for miles to come I am sure.
Thanks to Ginger and all the crew.
Regards,
Nick, Amanda and most importantly Fiona

My son loves this bike! Thanks to the lightweight build and great handling his confidence has dramatically increased along with his abilities. The terrain around where we live is very unforgiving and he now pedals in places that I regularly see adults walking. Thank you so much for making the ultimate 24″ mountain bike. All of the little details really make a difference.

I bought my son a Pineridge 24 almost two years and it’s been incredible. If you haven’t seen one in person, it’s a night and day (and 10 or 12 lb) difference from even the nicest kids bikes at a bike shop. And the differences are even more apparent on the trail. I highly recommend this bike and Trailcraft as a company and fully plan on getting him one of their 26s in the next year or so.

Hi Will- thanks for the great review for our website on the Pineridge 24! I hope your family is doing well and having a lot of fun adventures this summer. Fun times with these kids for sure! Cheers, Ginger and Brett

My older so has been riding and racing his Pineridge 24 for the last two years, falling in love with the sport.
The best part is all the quality time we spend together on the trails.
His bike is still in great shape with normal maintenance, and next year will be used by his little brother, and then likely by their little sister in a couple of years.
You cannot go wrong when you invest in a quality product.
I will likely have my three kids on Trailcraft bikes next year (Blue Sky 20 / Pineridge 24 / Maxwell 26).

Wow, blown away! Very well thought out design. This is a kid specific, high performance setup, that blows away the comparable offerings from the large, big name bike companies. The brake and derailleur adjustment was spot on out of the box, zero noise or rubbing. We opted for the tubeless setup (sealant already installed) when ordering, so once I installed the handlebars, grips, and levers, it was just a matter of tweaking the air pressure in the fork and tires, and our daughter was off and riding. The customer service was awesome, with Brett taking the time to chat on the phone, and set us up with a build level that was appropriate for our daughter. Amazingly high quality bike, our daughter loves it!

My twins haven’t ridden these yet, but I have built them up. I have one big serious problem now: *I* want one. I’m rather short, so maybe I’d just fit :-). They really are crazy light (much lighter than my kids’ 20 inch w/ no suspension), which is why I got them. The cockpit is clearly sized for kids. I look forward to seeing how my kids graduate from BMX parks to the trail … NOTE: you can’t really see the nuance in color choices online, e.g. blue => more like metallic blue (nice), neon green => flat (expected).

Thank you so much to the Trailcraft Crew. You guys have been so awesome helping me get my daughter’s Pineridge 24 set up just right for her. Customer service has been amazing! She loves the new bike, how easy it is to climb, shift and brake. The cockpit is so well designed for small hands. Climbing and descending single track are so much safer on this geometry. Excited for all the time we will spend together riding the next few years while I can still keep up! Can’t recommend enough. Thank you for offering this great product to kids. They are the ones who deserve light bikes. Keep up the good work.

Light weight and high quality. Great components
James Fox –
This bike enabled my daughter to come on mountain bike rides with us, as a family, and increased her self confidence both climbing and descending. Words don’t do it justice to how grateful I am for Trailcraft building the best kid’s bikes on the market. This is our 4th Trailcraft for our kids and we LOVE the bikes and the responsiveness of the staff.
Christopher Hamsher –
This is excellent quality. My kid, who is skinny and not a fearless MTB kid, was instantly impressed with how light it was compared to friend’s bikes he’d tried.
Abraham Gore –
great bike! The 24″ pine is probably 5lbs lighter than the 20″ wheel bike he just outgrew, so he’s flying on the trails!
also, super easy do put together.
Denny Capps –
This is our family’s second Trailcraft bike, so that says a lot about our experience with the first. These bikes are a lot of juice for the squeeze, bang for you buck. Both of my sons vaulted to new levels of riding on their first outing. Top notch customer service and it is nice knowing there is a family that loves bikes on the other end.
Chad Cherefko –
Game changer. Daughters confidence went way up on the first ride and she had a nice bike before but this one is next level. Everything is right sized. Handling is great. She loved it!
