Introducing the new DMR Sidekick Balance bike, designed to provide maximum stability for a natural learning experience – featuring mixed wheel sizes (also known as a mullet setup) with a 12” rear wheel and a 14” front wheel, this exclusive design offers important benefits for young riders. Our new DMR Sidekick Balance bike is designed to be as easy and as stable as possible, making the process of learning to ride a bike as natural as learning to walk.
It’s lightweight, built tough, and made to last. Your child will effortlessly transition from walking the bike to gradually mastering balance and steering – inspiring confidence at every step of the journey while learning to ride a bike, the easy way.
Mullet wheelset creates easier rollover – the larger front wheel rolls over bumps etc more easily – less like to stall or upset the steering. The front fork / steering geometry can be made more stable [slower] helping control and aiding the learning process, building confidence.
The rider sits lower ‘in’ the bike with a lower centre of gravity aiding stability / balancing, the low foot platform is positioned out of the way of the scooting area providing a useful rest for when they get rolling.
We also added a neat extra safety feature – a steering limiter on the forks, to prevent the bars from becoming crooked, which could lead to a crash. Super simple – as off.road.cc concluded, ““Another neat feature, although a relatively small thing, is the steering limiter. It’s a little rubber tether that stops the rider from over-steering and has reduced the number of wipeouts my children have experienced.”
That’s not all – our Sidekick Balance bike also features proper MTB all-terrain tyres by Vee Rubber, smaller-diameter bars and grips for smaller hands, lightweight quality aluminium frame ready for any pump track, and more.
This is a true DMR dirt bike and will give your young ripper the best start to bicycle riding anywhere they want to go.
