Final Thoughts

The Basher 24″ is a solid choice for older kids moving on from smaller BMX-style bicycles. Its classic SE heritage, reliable components, and tailored geometry make it a confident step up for both cruising and light freestyle.

While SE Bikes is praised for its iconic design and frame quality, some users note component-level compromises. As one rider put it:

“When you buy a complete at a certain price point you’re essentially paying for the frame… you still have that high quality frame to build on.”
