Early Rider Seeker 12" Balance Bike (MY27)

First tracks start here.

Built for dirt, trails, and everything in between, the Seeker 12 is a balance bike for kids ready to take their first steps into the world of mountain biking.

A low-slung frame with a 31cm minimum seat height gives young riders confidence from the very first push, while the classic diamond construction and bolt-thru axles deliver strength and control well beyond a typical balance bike. Stable, predictable handling helps little riders learn line choice, momentum, and terrain skills that matter when the trail turns rough.

Wide, confidence-inspiring tyres smooth out roots, rocks, and loose ground, and sealed cartridge bearings keep things rolling freely no matter where the ride leads.

With frame and fork mounts ready for a disc brake upgrade, the Seeker 12 grows with your child, bridging the gap between balance bike and their first real mountain bike.

Dirt-ready. Trail-tested. Built to explore.
