Riding a bike is all about freedom, so no matter your age, your little one should never feel inhibited by where they can and can't ride. Problem, solution—meet the Riprock 24.

With 24-inch wheels and wide 2.8" tires, your kid will be able to rip and rock on any terrain that they come across. The tires are the hallmark of the bike, delivering traction, control, and confidence in spades. The custom suspension fork, meanwhile, absorbs all of the rough stuff that comes with riding off-road.

Finally, with powerful mechanical disc brakes, and a low standover that all but guarantees a perfect fit, you can rest assured that the Riprock 24 is the perfect recipe for fun that your family has been looking for.

  • The A1 premium aluminum frame is lightweight and built to withstand the tough use by kids, while the geometry features an ultra-low standover that makes it easy for your little ones to fit on and grow with the bike.

  • Custom SR Suntour XCT fork features 70mm of smooth, air-sprung travel for rough terrain, while a hydraulic lockout will make climbing significantly easier for your little one.

  • The 2.8-inch Big Roller tires not only ensure exceptional traction, but also offer greater ride quality, stability, and loads of fun.

Weird mix of parts that can not be replaced.

The fork on my son's RipRock 24 expert could not be serviced even by suntour. Neither Suntour or Specialized have replacement forks. Finding another fork that is a straigh steerer tube, boost spacing, and is QR is impossible as it does not exsist. Why did Specialized equip the bike with such a useless mix of parts?

I would rather ride this bike than win a $million

this bike is great, I got it when I was like 7 now I'm 11 and I just have to raise the seat. and I haven't grown out of it yet. It's the perfect bike for kids who are either afraid of unfamiliar terrains or just have a hard time getting over rocks. But only get them this if they'll actually ride this because this type of bike cost more than an average adult bike so make sure they'll actually ride it. But the bike is great!
