Meet the Hellion X24
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).

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 for big hitters
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 1x11 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.
