Our childhood should be a great adventure, and the Big Foot 12 is a clear statement of intent. It was designed for those who want their children to be more connected to their surroundings than to a device. It is an important victory that we must achieve early, and the low-slung frame with a saddle height of just 31 cm provides the crucial start. A robust diamond frame and forged dropouts mean that the bike won't be taken out of action by bumps. The elements are also not a problem: all our bearings are maintenance-free, sealed cartridges, and the frame, fork, hubs, rims, head tube, stem, and handlebars are all made of aluminum. In fact, the only steel found on the bikes is the hardened spokes – a total of 20 per wheel, ensuring they won't bend when faced with a curb, a root, or even Dad. But it really is about feeling just as secure on the trails as on the asphalt. That's why we've added 2.25-inch balloon tires that absorb every bump, with treads that come alive in mud and loose terrain, providing the grip that keeps your kids on course and keeps them there. Not to mention the anatomically designed Ritchey controls with a powerful, easy-to-pull rear brake, which gives extra braking confidence when the ground beneath their feet feels a bit uncertain – for those little rubber soles. Braking system according to CH standard - right hand rear.
