Wheels & tyres: Aluminum double-wall 24" MTB rims (28h), Formula DC-series hubs, stainless steel spokes with brass nipples, CY Trail 24x2.25" wire-bead tyres

Cockpit: Alloy junior riser bar 600mm wide, 30mm rise; 40mm alloy stem; Norco Youth grips (115mm); Norco Jr XC saddle on a 27.2mm alloy seatpost with 250mm of adjustment range

The Storm 24 is built for kids in roughly the 7–10 age range who are ready to step up from smaller wheels and start exploring real singletrack. Whether they're sessioning beginner features at Knox Mountain or putting in laps on the Mission Creek Greenway, they'll benefit from a bike that fits properly — with disc brakes that stop reliably and a drivetrain simple enough to let them focus on riding, not shifting. Riders who are already comfortable on a 20" and want more speed, more stability, and more room to grow will find the Storm 24 hits the sweet spot.

Q1: What size Norco Storm 24 do I need?
The Storm 24 comes in one size, designed for riders between 122–140cm (approximately 4'1"–4'8"). If you're unsure whether 24" wheels are the right step for your child right now, our team can assess their height, inseam, and current bike fit to confirm. Norco's full geometry chart is available at norco.com/bikes/youth/youth-trail/storm-youth-kids/2027-storm-24/.

Q2: Is the Norco Storm 24 a good fit for the trails around Kelowna?
The Storm 24 is a great choice for family rides on the Mission Creek Greenway and beginner-friendly singletrack at Knox Mountain. Its 80mm suspension fork and mechanical disc brakes give young riders the confidence to handle variable terrain and small trail features as their skills develop. For more technical riding, our team can advise whether a step up in travel or wheel size makes sense for where your child is headed next.

Q3: How do I know when my child has outgrown their bike?
A few clear signs: knees approaching the handlebars, saddle maxed out with no room to raise it further, or a general look of being cramped on the bike. As a rough guide, a child who has outgrown a 20" is usually ready for 24" wheels, and one who has outgrown 24" is typically moving to 26" or 27.5". If you're not sure, bring your child into either Fresh Air location and we can assess the fit in person — it only takes a few minutes.
