A visual comparison of the models from the review is given in the summary table of teen bikes. You can choose a bike on your own in the catalog section of the same name.

21-speed transmission, front suspension fork, affordable price.
The most basic level of body kit.

Comanche bikes have proven themselves in the best possible way. The brand is preferred for a tasty combination of reasonable cost, durability and reliability of the design. Proof of this is the teenage model Ranger Colt.

The bike is available in several frame colors: for boys, girls and unisex. A 21-speed transmission assembled from components of the most basic Shimano Tourney level helps the young rider to adapt to various conditions of movement. Off-road with such attachments you should not meddle, however, asphalt pavements and dirt roads are completely unaffected by him.

The bike was equipped with a front suspension fork for trips on poor road surfaces. It will make the ride more comfortable and the grip better. The brakes on the Comanche Ranger Colt frame 11 are classic V-brake rims that stop the bike by pressing the brake pads against the sidewalls of the rims.

The steering wheel and seat of the model are adjusted in height to the height of the young cyclist. In addition to the bike, you can buy fenders on the wheels to protect against dirt, lighting and a trunk - all this is not included in the standard package. However, all sorts of accessories now rarely go in addition to the bike out of the box.

7-speed transmission, lightweight frame, comfortable fit.
No cushioning, sloppy welds.

Boys bike Apollo Neo 24 7s Boys 2018 is a good solution for little money. And for teenage girls, the Apollo range has a similar model with a Girl prefix and lowered top tube geometry.

The bike is suitable for ages 8-12 and rider height is approximately 130 to 155 cm. Lightweight components in its design (aluminium frame, lightweight wheels and a rigid fork) make the bike one of the lightest in the class - only 10.8 kg. So it will be better to obey the young racer.

The bike has one front chainring and a ratchet system of 7 chainrings on the rear wheel. The role of the rear derailleur is performed by the equipment of the basic Shimano Tourney series. The transmission is designed to last the life of the bike. Shimano Revoshift shifters are installed on the straight handlebars of the model. And under both hands of the cyclist, the handles of rim mechanical V-brakes are placed.

The tyres on the 24-inch Apollo Neo 24 7s Boys 2018 wheels have a shallow slick tread. Their element is high-quality sidewalks and asphalt roads. In terms of additional armament, the model was equipped with a protective shield covering the bicycle chain. The overall positive picture is slightly spoiled by sloppy welds on the frame at the pipe joints. However, this does not affect the ride quality of the bike in any way.

8-speed transmission, front suspension fork, comfortable fit.
There are no significant downsides.

The 2020 ORBEA MX 24 XC is a slightly smaller version of an adult cross country bike for young riders. It is made in a frame size of 13" and is designed with an eye on the height of the rider from 135 to 155 cm.

The model is put on "24" wheels with double rims, which are shod with Kenda 922 all-terrain rubber. The SR Suntour M3010 front spring and elastomer fork, which works out 40 mm of travel, contributes to the best cross-country patency of the bike. The wheels are fixed with quick-release eccentrics.

In the bike, an 8-speed transmission with accessories for the tourist segment of attachments of the Shimano Altus series has been used. They confidently hold the setting and do not need frequent maintenance. Also, the reliable cartridge carriage does not require intervention in the work. Running over 10 thousand km for her is not a problem at all.

The lightweight bike frame is made of 6061 aluminium alloy using tube butting technology. Due to the complex profile of the pipes, high torsional rigidity is achieved, and the higher it is, the faster and more rolling the bike. For stopping the ORBEA MX 24 XC 2020, unpretentious clamping brakes “vi-breaks” are responsible. In general, for riding for the pleasure of a young rider, the bike fits perfectly.

8-speed transmission, lightweight frame.
No depreciation.

The Taiwanese Giant brand is probably familiar to everyone who is at least a little versed in cycling. In the brand's teenage portfolio for 2020, the ARX 24 deserves close attention.

The number "24" in the naming of the bike indicates the size of its wheels (in inches). At the same time, the frame of the model is made in a dimension of 12 "- it is suitable for the growth of cyclists from 130 to 150 cm. The frame is created using 6061 aluminium alloy, and the pipes are made using butting technologies. This allows you to reduce the weight of the pipe, thinning its wall in unloaded places. As a result, the bike turned out to be one of the lightest in the class.

The Giant ARX 24 2020 is equipped with a rigid front fork (non-cushioned), mechanical rim brakes of the hold-down design, an 8-speed gearbox with a Shimano Altus class rear derailleur. The body kit of the so-called tourist segment does not particularly need maintenance and allows you to make trips to simple off-road conditions.

Also in the arsenal of the model there is a straight handlebar, a comfortable Giant Young saddle, universal tyres Innova IB-3010. In terms of price / quality, the Giant ARX 24 2020 is seen as one of the most preferred options for a young rider to buy.

7-speed transmission, front suspension fork, mechanical disc brakes, parking step and bike bell.
There are no significant downsides.

Scott Scale 24 Disc 2019 is a model with a very decent body kit for small riders from 125 to 145 cm tall. At the same time, the maximum “load capacity” of the bike is 50 kg. And now about everything in order.

The bike is "built" on a durable aluminium frame and has a front suspension fork to work out the bumps in the roadway. The SR Suntour XCT-JR spring-loaded elastomer fork has a 50mm travel reserve. The presence of front depreciation allows you to confidently ride over rough terrain or, for example, along simple routes in the forest.

At the head of the attachments of the model, components of the tourist class Shimano Tourney were put. A 7-speed transmission with a reliable TY300 rear derailleur is available to young riders. It's backed up by Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors. The brake system tolerates bad weather well and is not sensitive to the “eights” on the wheel rims.

Pleasant little things — regular parking step and bike bell on the steering wheel. Usually, these accessories need to be purchased separately for the bike, but here they are supplied as standard with the model. As a result, the Scott Scale 24 Disc 2019 successfully combines a successful brand, a good body kit, and optimal driving performance.
