          Awesome balance bike!

          My 2.5yo son loves his bike! He could barely ride the plastic tire strider bike we got before this. Everything about this bike is a winner! We are looking forward to him getting the hang of the breaks so we can go on some trails!

          Incredible little bikes!

          I purchased both a 12" and 14" Dirt Hero for my boys for Christmas and could immediately recognize the quality of these bikes during assembly. Really well built with quality components - I was truly impressed!

          I thought it might take a few months before my youngest would be able to handle his 12" given that it was much larger than the 10" Norco Runner he was currently riding, but he hopped on the Dirt Hero and was riding it around the kitchen on Christmas Day. He was only 26 months old at the time. Now 2.5, he is ripping around on the 12" with ease. The 14" is a perfect fit for my almost 4 year old and should still fit him for a while yet given he is at the lowest end of the seat post. Now a couple months in, I have to say the bikes were definitely worth the money! The boys love them and the knobby tires allow them to ride all terrains.

          I have yet to install the Magura brakes as I found I was able to use the Shotgun Pogies without the brakes to keep their hands warm on winter rides (see pics). I doubt the pogies will work with the brakes, but won't know until I get them installed. Would be nice if they did though as the cold is really the only thing stopping us from riding these bikes year round.

          The only improvement/upgrade I would suggest is consideration for a kickstand on these bikes. I worry that the handlebar grips will wear on the ends when the boys lay the bikes down to explore by foot (which is pretty often with toddlers). I haven't managed to find…
