Step Up to Serious Performance
The Protege Fastrace 24" is a purpose-built, high-performance racing machine engineered for older kids and young adolescents aged 7–11 (135–155 cm) who are ready to take their cycling to the next level. This is not a scaled-down toy—it is a legit adult-grade road bike engineered with child-proportional geometry, making it the perfect gateway vehicle for serious road racing, velodrome track training, and junior triathlons.
Featuring a premium Shimano Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain and a lightweight carbon fiber fork, the Fastrace 24" gives young riders the technical advantages they need to sustain higher speeds, conquer steeper climbs, and ride with confidence alongside the pack.
Why It’s Different: Premium Components Meets Junior Ergonomics
The Pro Performance Package: Weighing in at a remarkably lean 8.73 kg, this bike pairs a robust 6061 aluminum frame with a carbon fiber front fork to reduce front-end weight and soak up road vibrations. Unlike standard kids' bikes, it utilizes a pro-level Shimano Tiagra 4700 10-speed kit and a hollow integrated crankset for maximum power transfer and adult-tier mechanical reliability.
