Any recommendations for a 24" wheel MTB for an 8-year old? He rides a rigid Pinnacle right now but is getting good and I'd like to get him something which can handle rougher trails.

I spotted a few options and the frontrunner looks like the Saracan Mantra 2.4 for value but any ideas welcome.

Or am I wrong and he should keep learning on a rigid bike? Or should I wait and get a 26" wheel when he's a touch bigger?!

If you fancy building him a 26 with bounce as a project ready for when he is?

I’ve got a Norco 4X frame with Fox Float rear shock you can have as a freebie. I’d just like to see it go somewhere where it’ll get used.

Same as this (google image)

Thanks for the offer but I'm gonna hang fire for now, I'll probably end up getting carried away and overspeccing the build!
