What is min DH? Like non technical courses that would require less travel and be more suited for AM applications. Or do you want like a literal SMALL DH bike for younger people?

Commencal makes a 24" DH bike

Maybe look into the Kona shred 20 if they still even make it. It was a hardtail but had disk brakes a was a pretty beefy 20"

Depending on age and size, a decent cross country bike would so. Parts are light and semi durable especially if he/she is racing on minimal skill...

That's all I got

I suppose he is talking about DH bikes with DH geometry and 160ish mm of travel ?

The Commencal Supreme 6 is pretty good at that (see my pics for an example). Basically, any bike with around 160-170mm of travel, DH geometry (low bb, lackish head angle, ...), other examples are Transition TR250, Transition Bottlerocket (more freeride oriented than the TR250 though), and I can't think right now of other bikes .... (but I'm prety sure there are dozens more out there)

Any decent free ride bike with an angle set will do you good. Something like a TR250 or a Specialized Status with a SC fork.
