Cube Elite 240 C:62 Pro 24-Inch 2025 Junior Bike

Young riders benefit even more than adults from a light bike. The Elite 24 C:62 Pro's carbon frame and fork save weight without sacrificing strength, and they're also really tough. With a wide range of gears, child-sized controls and hydraulic disc brakes, the only thing that's missing is a bundle of enthusiasm.

Even young riders know that speed wins races. It's the reason we developed the Elite 24 C:62 Pro, which takes everything we've learnt about building podium-capable racing mountain bikes and condenses it into pint-sized perfection. The full carbon frame and fork are just the lightweight start. We fitted 1 x 1 gears for their easy shifting, wide range and simple reliability. There's a headset limiter to prevent top tube damage in the event of a crash. A 12x1 thru axle up front and child-sized handlebars, grips and brake levers - with Magura hydraulic discs - ensure accurate control at all times. And little touches like the ultra-lightweight Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes and Newmen wheels are just the kind of details you'd expect from a thoroughbred.

We know from working with Elite racers that they want a frame that's stiff, responsive and, above all, light. So these are exactly the qualities we built into our Elite 24 C:62's lightweight carbon frame, but scaled down perfectly to fit younger riders. Every single detail of the frame design is aimed at reducing weight without sacrificing strength or stiffness. A tapered head tube, full carbon fork and 12mm thru-axles front and rear ensure precise steering and efficient power transfer. We kept the seatstays narrow for a comfortable ride. And cables are routed internally for long-lasting precise shifting, so mum and dad can spend less time tweaking and more time cheering.

Features

Not all carbon is created equal. With our C:62 carbon we increased the high modulus fibre content, then we reinforced the resulting material with nanoparticles incorporated into the bonding resin. Which is all just a fancy way of saying it's extremely strong, light and durable.

Cables connect your handlebar controls to vital components like gears and brakes, but there's no need for them to get in your way. With Internal Cable Routing we've reduced clutter and maintenance by running cables through the frame, keeping them out of the way of dust and water contamination - or damage from abrasion - as well as cleaning up your bike's appearance.

With our Advanced Twin Mold process we use two precisely manufactured forms for our C:62, C:68 and C:68X carbon frames. The first form is to ensure an accurate layup. The second, inner form keeps every individual fibre precisely where it needs to be while the frame cures. The result is a significantly lighter, stronger frame, with fibre density tailored to anticipated loadings at specific points.
