24-Inch (7+ yr. old)

The Meerkat brings a healthy dose of fun for your 7 to 10-year-old rider. The Meerkat 24 comes stock with a Sturmey Archer 5 speed trigger shifter paired with a 5-speed internally geared Sturmey Archer hub. This combination equates to quick, efficient shifts without the worry of chain drops or being out of gear. Disc brakes? Yep! The Meerkat's sealed hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear) stop surely, regardless of the weather. When they're ready for longer hours in the saddle, the front and rear rack mounts make adding a basket or rear rack a cinch and usher in a world of bike-packing opportunity. To determine the best fit, Cleary suggests measuring your child's inseam and referencing their size chart. - The Meerkat best fit for riders with an inseam of 22" to 26". - The Meerkat has a low bottom bracket height, which allows a rider with a 22" inseam to comfortably start out on the Meerkat. - The seat tube angle on the Meerkat allows the bike fit to grow along with the rider. - The seat moves up and back as you increase saddle height, so even a 5' tall rider will fit the bike well.

The Scout is the real deal. It's spec'd with a 80mm Suntour XCR Air fork that's been on the podium at Red Bull Rampage and multiple World Cups. When your child is ready to let it flow through the rock garden, this is the fork to lead them through it. The Scout's lightweight aluminum frame sports oversized, thin-walled tubes that let little rippers carve as hard as they want without flex or wobble. The buttery smooth Sunrace RDMS 10-speed drivetrain boasts Adjustable Chain Stabilization and all-alloy construction. We paired that with KMC's X-10 chain to offer quick engagement and precise shifting in all conditions. Of course, the head-turning Intergalactic paint job and Enduro knobbies complete this ultimate trail rig. Like every other Cleary, the Scout is backed by our LIFETIME WARRANTY.
