Shotgun Dirt Hero Magura – 14″ Children’s Balance Bike – White

Offroad Balance Bike for MTB kids

The Dirt Hero off-road balance bike is a scaled down enduro machine specifically designed to open up trails for kids on wheels. The Dirt Hero works with 12″ and 14″ wheels, it basically offers 2 wheels in 1.

Switching from 12″ to 14″ instead of going straight to a 16″ bike gives your child more time to develop key skills and a love of off-road riding – so they’re ready when the next step comes and they’ve already learned how to brake.

MTB tires for MTB kids

Air filled MTB tires are essential for off-road riding. The deep tread air-filled tires greatly increase grip and give your little shredder the confidence to tackle the trails. Air-filled tires also act as suspension, cushioning bumps and roots along the way for a smoother ride.

The perfect brake for balance bikes

Learning how to brake before you pedal is an important step in the learning process for MTB kids . Hydraulic disc brakes are the best option for wheels. Not only do they offer more power, but they require far less hand force than V-brakes, making them ideal for small hands. Shotgun has developed the world’s first child-safe rotor guard for parents’ peace of mind.

Easy to reach brake lever

The Magura HC1 brake lever has one of the best reach adjustments on the market – this means you can adjust the lever much closer to the handlebars than other brakes, a key usability factor for small hands with limited reach.
