Specialized Hotwalk Carbon Features
If we want to inspire the next generation of riders, kids deserve better bikes. That’s why we took the same tech behind our world championship-winning bikes and combined it with proportional design to build the ultimate balance bike.
We pored over every detail in order to achieve a ride quality that’s unprecedented in such a small size. We’re talking precision at every touchpoint—from 38% smaller diameter handlebar grips to a solid carbon layup. All aligned to create the ultimate first ride.
Why? We believe the best ride starts with the same standards we have as adults: Proportional fit, quality materials, and the same tech we use for pros.
