Hellion X24

Meet the new Hellion X24. The Hellion X24 features a triple-butted aluminium full-suspension frame with a CNC’d chainstay yoke, 100mm DNM rear shock with adjustability taking it up to 125mm, and 120mm front suspension for smooth, controlled trail feedback. Its long, low, and slack geometry ensures stability, confidence, and playful handling. Narrow-wide chainring, forged cranks, and SDG junior touchpoints enhance performance and control. With RST F1rst forks offering adjustable air, compression, and rebound, it’s built for progression and tough trails.

• A race optimised full suspension aluminium frame: Built for performance, the Hellion X24 features a triple-butted dual suspension mono link frameset frameset with a CNC’d chainstay yoke that’s precision engineered to take big hits like a pro. The 100mm DNM rear shock pairs brilliantly with the 120mm up front to deliver exceptional trail feedback, smoothing out roots, rocks and big drops. The frame tubing has been deliberately crafted to balance strength (at the pressure points) with lightness, ensuring we don’t waste valuable grams where we don’t need it. Threaded thru axles ramp up frame stiffness while sliding dropouts give them handling and size adjustments as they progress. To top it off, we added internal routing for a stealth dropper because progression is everything.
• Long, low and slack:That’s the assignment and we understood it. The Hellion X24 is built for performance with a geometry optimised for speed, technical acumen and confidence on the gnarly bits. The low centre of gravity keeps them balanced in the berms while the slack head tube angle takes (some of the drama) out of descending. The short seat stays give the bike a playful responsive feel (while also making manuals just a little easier to master).
• A no fuss, full gas chainset: The crankset and single ring set-up give the Hellion X24 a powerful mix of performance, safety and pedalling efficiency that you just won’t see on other bikes this size. The narrow wide chain ring stops the chain from flapping while working in harmony with the forged aluminium direct mount cranks for maximum power transfer when it matters.
• Anatomically designed cockpit:The Ritchey Jr cockpit is anatomically designed for progression and control. When everything fits right, steering becomes more precise, more controlled. The lock on grips prevent hand slip in the inevitable wet muddy conditions. The X24 also comes spec’d SDG fly junior saddle and SDG Slater pedals which not only offer stability and performance on tougher trails, but also look seriously cool.
• Big kid forks, little kid bike:The 120mm RST F1rst forks with 15mm thru axle come with the same levels of adjustability you’d expect from a far bigger bike without losing any of the responsiveness lightweight riders need. Make fine adjustments to air suspension, compression and rebound to dial in their ride, and accommodate growing bodies.
• Lightweight, adjustable brakes:Featuring a lightweight, smooth modulation, plenty of adjustability and ultra reliable braking, it’s no wonder we’re such big fans of Shimano’s Deore MT600s. Braking feedback is predictable with a smooth modulation that prevents unnecessary emergency stops while the 160mm 6 bolt rotors give bold riders the confidence they need to go hard, and stop harder.
• A Shimano Deore drivetrain:The Shimano Shimano Deore 1×11 is a robust, efficient, and versatile drivetrain that balances simplicity with performance. The low-maintenance setup which saves valuable weight without sacrificing performance. With its smooth, accurate shifting, superior weight and robust build, there’s a reason why Shimano Deore is the drivetrain of choice for so many pros.
• MTB wheels that go hard:Fully sealed bearing hubs, tubeless compatible, double wall rims and optimised spoke count means these wheels rip. Because there’s no point speccing a great bike with weak wheels. Sealed bearings keep mud, water and corrosion at bay while double wall rims give you twice the confidence on rocks and roots.
  The optimised spoke count means you won’t have to worry about buckled wheels while thru axles makes the rare times you do need to swap tyres a breeze.
