ready for Adventure

Autumn is when the trail starts to fight back. Roots turn slick, braking points blur, and lines that felt easy in summer suddenly ask a lot more. For most riders, that's the signal to ease off. For a Charger rider, it's the part of the year they've been building towards.

So don't treat a wet trail as a reason to back off: slow down, walk the roots, save the real riding for summer. This is when it starts asking harder questions, and a rider who's put in the miles is ready to answer them. Holding a line over wet roots. Braking with control when the grip isn't the same. Unlocking progression all year round.

Where others back off.

Our Charger range is built for young riders ready to take trail riding seriously. An air suspension fork keeps the front wheel planted and powerful disc brakes stay consistent in the wet, so rougher, muddier trails become somewhere to progress, not a reason to stop.

Explore the Charger

Built for the trail at its toughest.

Every Charger comes with an RST air suspension fork (60mm on the 16", 100mm on the 20" and 24"), powerful disc brakes and trail-tuned geometry. The 20" and 24" frames are also ready for a dropper post. It all keeps riders in control when roots, rocks and mud make the trail harder.

When the trail gets harder, Chargers keep charging.

The Charger 16 is for young riders ready for their first real trails. The 20" and 24" are for riders taking on bigger descents and faster lines. Every Charger is built for control, confidence and performance, all year round.

Discover the Charger

Built to charge through it. Not wait it out. 

Every rider gets there in their own time. The suspension, brakes and geometry that keep them in control in the wet are the same things that push their riding further when it dries out. Watch them ride through it once and you'll see it: the trail got harder. They got better.

"Amazing little bike. I had been hoping for a 16 inch with front sus for some time and it doesn't disappoint. This is the 5th Early Rider bike I have bought for my boys and super impressed with every one them. Great to see their confidence growing with each step up." - Matthew P
