Sizes
A 24-inch bike is suited for teenage girls because it comfortably holds a person of 54 to 60 inches tall. The seat of the bike adjusts for a better fit and may feel comfortable for girls slightly taller or shorter than this height range. However, shoppers will also find that the bike comes in different sizes, which increases the height allowance. The 21-inch model is better for younger girls, especially those just starting out in the world of mountain biking. The 26-inch and 27-inch models are typically advertised for adults, but work for taller girls, too. The 27-inch model fits teens up to 6 feet 2 inches, while the 26-inch model fits girls around 5 feet 8 inches.
