- MADE TO LAST: Kids sure put things to the test. With the 12 Classic’s durable steel frame, all-weather seat, and puncture-proof tires, you don’t have to worry about damage or maintenance.
- SIMPLE AND EASY: The simple yet durable design is easy for young riders to take their first steps on a bike and progress to striding, gliding, and balancing. Your child will be riding in no time!
While the industry typically uses “entry-level” as shorthand for a non-race bike, we can assert with comfort and confidence that the custom grips, saddles, and other features that set Strider’s lighter, more expensive models apart from the “entry-level” 12 Classic Balance Bike probably won’t be missed. The 12 Classic is designed for aspiring cyclists from 18 months to 3 years of age, providing a platform to transition from striding to coasting in order to learn the balance and handling skills necessary for eventually piloting a proper bicycle. The balance bike’s sturdy frame is rounded off with flat-free tires, an adjustable seatpost, footrests for gliding, and brake mounts so that — as the young rider’s coasting skills increase — a rear brake can be added to keep things in check.
