Your kid is a boss, and they deserve a boss bike — one that totally puts others to shame and is better than fresh avocado toast. You could go out and get your child some bike with a bunch of flashy lights, annoying noises, and a cheap plastic handlebar shield that vaguely represents a superhero. But you know better than that.
If Luxury and Performance got together and decided to create the pinnacle of what a Strider 12 Bike should be, they’d make the Strider ST-R®. Sleek? Yes. Elegant? Double yes. Carbon fiber? Triple yes. Totally, incredibly, jaw-dropping, head-turning, amazingness on two wheels? A gajillion times yes.
So let’s skip the marketing mumbo jumbo for a minute. Check this out. The Strider ST-R® has a carbon fiber frame with a carbon fiber fork and carbon steerer. The headset is a Cane Creek® AER® with bearings. We also threw in a custom stem, handlebar, grips, and seat clamp. Then, we thought about what else we could add. How about super sticky Schwalbe® “Big Apple” tires? That do anything for ya? Top it off with 10-spoke carbon fiber rims that scream style and custom Strider alloy hubs with cartridge bearings and a thru-axle. The ST-R® is magnificently lean and mean, and there’s no telling what your little one can accomplish when they get into the saddle.
With the Strider ST-R®, your little speedster will blaze a trail of fiery epicness that will make everyone on the race track drool (not counting the ones who are teething). The Strider ST-R® is for those little speed demons who won’t compromise speed for comfort and luxury. They keep racing once they’ve crossed the finish line, and they fall asleep dreaming about the need for speed on a bike built for performance. They don’t have time to pause for a juice box break, because, let’s face it…ain’t nobody got time for that.

Which bike fits?
Learning to ride a bike is a monumental milestone for any kiddo! But it can be a miserable experience if the bike doesn’t fit your child properly. Check out our tips for choosing the right Strider Bike to fit your little rider’s size.
Why measuring your child’s inseam is important
What size bike should I get for my child?
Easy, the best size bike for your kiddo is the bike that fits them from day one. The best way to do that is to measure their inseam.
Yeah, but what about their age?
Age is more like…an approximate fit. Inseam is an exact fit, trust us.
Ok, got it. What’s an inseam?
Inseam is the distance between the ground and the crotch (just in case you’re interested in measuring your inseam for your next Halloween costume).
Ok, so why is this inseam babble so important?
We’re all different heights and shapes, even when we’re the same age. This is especially true with kids. Because they grow like crazy, they all have different heights and leg lengths. By measuring inseam, you’re making sure that your child’s bike has the perfect fit. A bike that perfectly fits means they’ll be experiencing two-wheeled success and confidence faster than you can say Strider.
Right. So, how exactly do I measure this?
Have your child stand up really straight with their shoes on (you can have them stand with their back to a wall if that helps). Place a book between their legs and slide it up the wall to meet the crotch seam of their pants, just like they were sitting on a bike saddle. Measure from the top of the book to the floor and….BINGO! You have your inseam.
