Overview
The Kent 2400 (model 02414) is a 24 inch wheel mountain bike on a 6061 aluminum frame with a Shimano 7 speed drivetrain. Owner accounts describe it going to kids around 8 to 9 years old rather than adults, despite the mountain bike label.
Reviewers who assembled this bike report inconsistent quality control: over tightened bearings, a smashed fork slot, or a missing crank cap on some units, alongside praise for a straight frame once it is dialed in. One buyer swapped the stock tires for grippier ones before taking it off pavement.

- Linear pull brakes with quick release seatpost clamp
Who it's for
Parents buying a first geared bike for a child around 8 to 10 years old who has room to grow into it. Not a match for anyone expecting a full size adult mountain bike.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who bought this for grandchildren, sons, and daughters call it sturdy and light once built, and several say it's a strong value for the price. The recurring complaint is sub assembly quality: over tightened bearings, a smashed fork slot, a missing crank cap, and one report of a missing brake lever screw. A couple of reviewers also noted the included instructions didn't match their exact bike and brake alignment took extra effort.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light frame at about 26 pounds
- Sturdy once fully assembled
- Shimano 7 speed for varied terrain
- Durable 36 hole double wall rims
- Bearings arrived over tightened on some units
- Missing parts reported, like a brake lever screw
- Instructions sometimes don't match the actual model
- Stock tires suit pavement more than trail
Performance notes
The rigid fork and linear pull rim brakes keep the build simple, while the Shimano 7 speed drivetrain gives a young rider enough range for local trails and hills, though one reviewer felt the low gear wasn't quite low enough for steep climbs.
