Vitus Nucleus 24 Youth Hardtail Bike

Vitus Nucleus 24 Youth Hardtail Bike

The ideal trail-shredder for younger riders, the Vitus Nucleus 24 Youth takes inspiration from the adult Nucleus hardtail mountain bike. Although it’s scaled down in size, Vitus has designed and engineered this junior’s bike to soar up, across the top and down the other side of the mountain with pace, agility and style. Its durable and lightweight alloy frame incorporates modern low, long and slack trail-riding geometry and it’s equipped with a Box Four 1×8-Speed groupset, 60mm-travel Suntour suspension and powerful hydraulic disc brakes.

Strong and Lightweight Youth Hardtail Mountain Bike

The new kid on the block. Influenced greatly by all the good stuff Vitus learned when creating the award-winning adult Nucleus, this youth platform brings all the same trail riding performance and hardtail fun to the next generation.

At its core, the lightweight aluminium frame utilises the familiar Vitus progressive geometry that promotes stability, control and confidence – everything you want in a bike for a smaller rider.

Helping your youngster cruise the trails and smooth out the bumps is a quality Suntour XCR air suspension fork that’s adjustable to suit their weight and can be quickly locked out for riding on harder surfaces. Hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable levers ensure that powerful stopping performance can be achieved by small hands and the 2.0” Maxxis tyres deliver heaps of traction, so there will be no stopping them whatever the weather. A single front chainring keeps the maintenance low and the smooth Box Four gears include a clutch derailleur that stops the chain from bouncing or coming off. For them that means a smoother, quieter ride and for you that means no more greasy fingers at the trailside.

Staying true to the Nucleus vibe and personality, this Kids platform delivers everything that a young rider needs to experience the buzz, the thrill and the fun of riding a mountain bike. Ride with them, shred the trails with them and watch them grow in confidence, empowered by the capability that comes as standard with the Nucleus heritage.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
