Shotgun's Dirt Hero balance bike is designed for MTB kids who want to hit the trails. Rolling on 12" wheels with 14” wheel convertibility, 2.25” Vee Tire Crown Gem off-road tyres, mtb geometry. The Dirt Hero inspires confidence and progression in mini mountain bikers who want to get off the driveway and onto the dirt. Each bike comes with 3 Shred Til Bed MTB top tube skins, for your little one to make the bike their own.
Why 12 – 14” convertibility? The Dirt Hero takes 12” and 14” wheels sizes, or can be set up as a mullet. The Shotgun research team often saw kids making the leap straight from a 12” balance bike to a 16” pedal bike. Such a big step can not only hinder their progression but also impact their enjoyment of riding. Being able to move smoothly from a 12” to a 14” (and then adding brakes), all before having to take on a much heavier pedal bike keeps kids progressing one step at a time and the stoke levels high. Not having to buy a separate 14” in-between bike is also a great benefit for parents, simply upgrade the wheel kit and keep the good times rolling.
