Updates to the ST-4 Model
-
Sealed Cartridge Bearings are replacing the former cup and cone bearings previously found on the ST-2 and ST-3 models. The new sealed cartridge bearings roll smoothly and are maintenance- free for years of STRIDER riding.
-
A New Tire Tread Pattern makes its debut this year. The tread is placed closer together for low rolling resistance on hard surfaces, while still providing multiple knobs for all terrain grip improving STRIDER bike handling and stability.
-
A new Powder Coat Finish replaces last year’s baked enamel paint. The new coating is longer lasting and provides a more durable finish.
-
Black electrodeposited paint on the ST-4 seat post adds scratch resistance, and the Quick Release clamps are finished with black anodization. Both enhance the sleek STRIDER look and uniform design.
-
New graphics make their debut on the 2013 footrest and handlebar pad, complementing the racing style of the STRIDER ST-4 bike.
-
Softer durometer grips for more comfortable feel on toddlers’ little hands.
-
New Packaging – introducing the 2013 STRIDER brand and trade dress, created to match the clean and simple, updated STRIDER product design. This consistent packaging “look” will convey to the customer that they are buying a Genuine Strider product.

The tires, the grips, the design, overall, for balance, is ideal for little ones to learn and enjoy riding a bike.

My son would so love to have one of these. He has a regular bike but gets frustrated because he can’t ride it very good.
Terra
I think these have great durable features for kids. The design is perfect for small kids just learning to ride.
Dani Osenbaugh
I love the smaller size & that it’s lightweight so it doesn’t overwhelm young toddlers. I’d love to have this for my kiddos!
Angel Langridge
what I like about them is that they last longer. Boys are rough on their bikes and I need all the help I can get.
Heather Smith
I think Strider Bikes are best because they give children independence while developing balancing skills and give them the confidence to ride a bike.
Maggie C
I think these bikes are wonderful because they teach kids balance before they have to also worry about pedaling. They’re just fun!
Michelle
Wonderful bikes for kids to learn how to ride one and they’ll be balance before they know it. They’ll be having lots of fun riding the bike too.
Happi Shopr
this would be perfect for my nephew
Isabella Grey
Nest! I remember when I was learning to ride how often I fell over and got banged up!
Stacey @ Newlywed Survival
I’ve never seen these before… such a great idea! My niece just turned 5 and is riding a bike with training wheels. I’ll let my sister know about this so she can check it out.
Malia
A balance bike would be perfect for my 3 year old. I love all the colors it comes in!
Sheila Owen
I think Strider Bikes are for kids because they are balance bikes, and I know my children needed help with balancing. Also I see them as a prestep to a pedal bike, so the kids learn the feel of a bike, and how to balance on one before they are moving one one.
Dawn
That comes in a lot of great colors!
Chris O
What a fun way to improve balance for kids who are not coordinated enough to ride a bike yet.
Jesica H
We have a balance bike that we got a little too late for my oldest daughter, she was kinda big for it. Our youngest will be perfect for this in a couple years though!
deanna b
a balance bike would be amazing for my clumsy little monkeys!
Ashley N
I think Strider Bikes are awesome for kids because they can focus on balancing rather than pedal work. They feel so much more secure when they are in charge and the risk of falling is decreased. I would love a Strider Bike for my tot!

I think the design is perfect for a beginning bike to help kids learn balance before moving on to a pedal bike.
Carmen
I love the idea of these bikes – teaching them to learn balance before anything else. I need to get one for my daughter!
David Harlow
The Strider looks to be very solid and it provides kids a safe way to learn how to ride by themselves.
