Picked up one for my youngest, love the new geometry and over all style but and there is a but. The slacker head tube angle and overall low profile of the bike makes this frames reach quite small and one that kids will grow out of quite fast. I would say that this 24 version is similar to the old 20 in terms of fit. I would recommend that Specialized should either increase the reach of the bike or have a larger size on offer for kids that are growing. Finally as sweet as the black looks the paint is not durable and we take care of our bikes in this home. Cheers

Great bike and better than many 24” kids bikes. The 9x1 drivetrain is current, not just the low cost drivetrains found across the 24” bike market. My kiddo loves it and has already hit the trails with confidence. If you are on the fence, this is a great option for your budding trail rider.

Great kids bike. Very well made and nice components for a kids bike.

Recently purchased two of the Riprock bikes for my kids. They previously had big box sporting goods store bikes that were less than 2 years old. Descent bikes, but no where near the quality of the Riprock. Something about the geometry of the Riprock that the kids feel more comfortable riding. The components make for easy riding. The kids are truly enjoying the new bikes and riding way more frequently. Already planning some upcoming trail rides per their requests. Definitely worth the purchase price.

Best bike! My son loves every aspect of it. Looks amazing!

My 8 year old has been riding a 20 inch Trek Wahoo for a couple years and was finally ready to move up. We decided to visit our local MTB shop (Dirt Rooster) and commit to the new RipRock. So far she loves it...the paint scheme, the aggressive tires and everything between works perfect for her. It's definitely a bike she feels comfortable on from riding to school to bombing the trails in our local state park.
