All about the New Riprock

Product Details

Add Icon

Freedom is the absence of fear. And riding fearlessly requires a bike that can handle your kid’s imagination. It’s why we designed Riprock to be a mountain bike inclusive of all the features needed for superior ripping, like modern geometry, Ground Control tires, hydraulic disc brakes, and internally routed cables. Finally, we threw in a wider-range drivetrain, making Riprock truly the perfect bike to inspire riders to climb higher and tackle the downhills freely.

Kids can’t ride confidently if they’re not riding comfortably. With Riprock, fit comes first. This meant using data to reimagine everything from how they grip to how they sit to create a bike specifically and proportionally for kids. We did all this because comfort creates confidence. And more confidence always leads to more riding fearlessly.

  • Kids’ specific updates and features create a ride that inspires confidence. A 130mm Bridge saddle, as well as a narrower Q factor and shorter cranks, offer improved alignment between the hip, knee, and ankle to decrease the risk of injury and increase pedal power. Narrow grips and updated frame geometry offer improved bike handling, inspiring riders to ride more.

  • A lightweight package, complete with an updated frame and wide-range drivetrain, creates the perfect bike to allow riders to easily tackle climbs.

  • Trail riding starts here. Inspired by Specialized’s heritage in making mountain bikes, the Riprock offers modern MTB features such as a slack head tube angle, internally routed cables, hydraulic disc brakes, and Ground Control tires.

Good but....

Picked up one for my youngest, love the new geometry and over all style but and there is a but. The slacker head tube angle and overall low profile of the bike makes this frames reach quite small and one that kids will grow out of quite fast. I would say that this 24 version is similar to the old 20 in terms of fit. I would recommend that Specialized should either increase the reach of the bike or have a larger size on offer for kids that are growing. Finally as sweet as the black looks the paint is not durable and we take care of our bikes in this home. Cheers

Great bike and better than

Great bike and better than many 24” kids bikes. The 9x1 drivetrain is current, not just the low cost drivetrains found across the 24” bike market. My kiddo loves it and has already hit the trails with confidence. If you are on the fence, this is a great option for your budding trail rider.

Recently purchased two of the

Recently purchased two of the Riprock bikes for my kids. They previously had big box sporting goods store bikes that were less than 2 years old. Descent bikes, but no where near the quality of the Riprock. Something about the geometry of the Riprock that the kids feel more comfortable riding. The components make for easy riding. The kids are truly enjoying the new bikes and riding way more frequently. Already planning some upcoming trail rides per their requests. Definitely worth the purchase price.

Great size up for 8 year old daughter.

My 8 year old has been riding a 20 inch Trek Wahoo for a couple years and was finally ready to move up. We decided to visit our local MTB shop (Dirt Rooster) and commit to the new RipRock. So far she loves it...the paint scheme, the aggressive tires and everything between works perfect for her. It's definitely a bike she feels comfortable on from riding to school to bombing the trails in our local state park.

Nice Ride!

I got the previous model for my one of my kids so I was very happy, was about to pull the trigger on another for my 5yr old (tall kid) and I saw they were updated and $50 more than the 20”. No brainer so I ordered it. The bike will be easy to put together from anyone even if they never turned a wrench. BigS includes all the tools needed. The packaging although gives you a well put bike, due to the shipping, it damaged the top tube paint but specialized support helped me out with a return and exchange for a perfect one. FedEx needs to be a bit more careful with these little beauties but they are worth every penny. Happy Riding!
