          THE ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD BALANCE BIKE

          2 bikes in 1

          The Dirt Hero takes 12” and 14” wheel sizes, it's essentially 2 bikes in 1.

          Transitioning from 12” to 14”, instead of rushing to a 16” pedal bike, gives your little one more time to develop key skills and build a love for riding off-road - so when that next step comes, they'll be ready for it with skills like braking already under their belt.

          MTB tyres for MTB kids

          Pneumatic mtb tyres are essential for off-road riding. The air filled tyres with deep tread significantly increase grip, giving your little one the confidence they need to tackle the trails. Air filled tyres also act as suspension, dampening bumps and roots along the way for a smoother ride.

          The perfect brake for balance bikes

          Learning to brake before peddling is an important step in a kids mtb journey, and we believe that hydraulic disc brakes are the best option for balance bikes.

          Not only do they provide more power, but require far less hand strength to operate than V brakes, making them ideal for little hands. We’ve also created the world’s first child safe rotor guard, for parent's peace of mind.

          Easy reach brake lever

          The Magura HC1 brake lever has some of the best reach adjustment on the market – meaning you can set the lever much closer to the handlebars than other brakes, a critical factor in usability for small hands with limited reach.

            Westy loves his bike - thank-you

            It may be over kill. But it makes a lot of sense for ease of use and power. Our little dude “Westy” is so proud of his brake and bike. Kids hands are so small, I don’t know what else you could do. Westy just turned 3 and I was going to get him pedaling, but your striders are so rad. He can get use to a bigger bike, learn how to brake while maintaining his confidence on a strider. Everyday people laugh with joy watching him ride, and he loves it-lol. He’s a short video of his first loop on the pump track out of the box! Also, nice touch with the decals and letting the kid pick their own. I’ve been in the biking industry for a very long time and what you are doing for kids and the sport is outstanding. Keep it up, I know I’ve set a hand full of parent up with your website already and speak with great reviews on the island. Side question, would you ever enter the next age group and add pedals?

            Thanks Buchanan & Westy.

            Ps. Don’t mind the old bike pic. Just one of his favourite riding spots.

            Son can actually use handbrake! Great bike

            I would highly recommend getting the handbrake. My 4 year old can effortlessly squeeze the handbrake. He loves to bike super fast and then brake right before he is about to hit you. We took him to the pump track and he was the youngest, most confident kid there. He could easily maneuver and control his bike without any fear.
