Strider Bikes today announced the launch of the Strider 12 Comp – a brand new balance bike for children aged 1-3. The first Strider built with a lightweight composite frame, the Strider 12 Comp delivers the core performance you expect from a genuine Strider, at a value that makes learning to ride accessible, fun, and stress-free.
Strider’s first new balance bike model since 2017 and their first new 12” model since 2013, the Strider 12 Comp is designed to help more riders unlock the joy of two-wheel fun. Little ones will feel confident from their first strides with a composite frame that weighs only 4.9 lbs. Then watch their skills take off with the beloved features that have helped over 10 million children learn to ride with Strider – a performance geometry that keeps the bike stable yet agile, a standing footrest that supports advanced riding skills, a perfectly-sized handlebar for tiny hands, and an adjustable seat for a comfortable fit as they grow.
“Our mission at Strider has always been empowering every child to safely and effectively learn how to ride a bike,” said Strider Founder & CEO Ryan McFarland. “The Strider 12 Comp will give more families the chance to access the smiles, memories and skill development of the genuine Strider experience.”
