OUR CHILDHOOD SHOULD BE ONE BIG ADVENTURE, AND THE BIG FOOT 12 IS A STATEMENT OF INTENT. IT'S DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THEIR CHILDREN BEING MORE CONNECTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US THAN TO A DEVICE.
Our childhood should be one big adventure, and the Big Foot 12 is a statement of intent. It's designed for those who are committed to their children being more connected to the environment around us than to a device.
It's an important battle to win early, and so the low slung frame with a saddle height of just 31cms gets you the jumpstart you need. A robust diamond frame and forged drop outs means you'll not have any hits putting the bike out of action. The elements won't be a problem either, all our bearings are maintenance free sealed cartridges and our frame, fork, hubs, rims, steerer, stem and handlebars are all aluminium. In fact, other than hardware, the only steel on the bikes are the hardened spokes - a full 20 of them on each wheel to make sure they'll not buckle at the sight of a curb, a root, or dad for that matter.
But it's really about feeling as confident on the trails as it is on the pavement. So we've added 2.25" balloon tyres that soak up every bump, with knobbly treads whose side walls come alive in the mud and loose to ensure the traction that will get your kids on track and keep them there. Not to mention anatomically designed Ritchey controls with a powerful, light pull rear brake to give that extra braking confidence when the ground under foot looks a little sketchy for those little rubber soles.
* Brake set up as UK standard - left hand rear *
A robust diamond forged aluminium frame, sealed cartridge bearings, Ritchey controls and a rear pull brake* all inspire confidence and promote getting out there on the next adventure.

While initially I was a little worried the bike was more expensive than I wanted to spend on my son's first training bike, when it came and I could see the quality of the bike, the lightness, and how f-n badass it was to look at, I knew it was well worth every penny. Putting it together was a breeze, especially if you've worked on bike before, or really if you've ever tightened a bolt before, lol. My son also picked up one of the included allen keys and started helping tighten the wheels! I couldn't have been more proud! He has yet to get the hang of riding it, but I'm confident with time he will love it! In a land with cheap throw away bikes, this is not one. I will likely save this for future children or pass it around my friend's and family when they have babies ready to ride! What a beautiful product! Couldn't be more happy!

Can’t tell you how much our son improved riding a balance bike the day he jumped onto this one. We live and breathe the beach trail and our foam tire Stryder bike was no match to the dirt and gravel. The Big Foot crushes the trail and our 2.5 year old chargers like never before. We love it and wish they got more press so I heard about it sooner! Worth every penny.
