Three reasons to consider dirt bike training wheels for your child

If you're looking to get your little ripper into riding off-road bikes, then training wheels are something you should definitely consider. 

They're designed to pair up with entry-level 50cc dirt bikes, such as the Yamaha PW50, Yamaha TTR50, Honda CRF50 and Suzuki DRZ50. These are a must for when first learning to ride as they do more than just keep your childs bike upright.

There are 3 main training wheel designs that are on offer: 

• Rear-mounted - easy installation and removal, suspension to allow for leaning and compensate uneven surfaces
• Mid/centre-mounted - rigid and stable boosting your childs confidence
• Adjustable mid/centre-mounted - stable, comes with suspension and is adjustable to get the correct set up

 

In this article, we look at three reasons to consider dirt bike training wheels for your child.

1. Safe introduction to dirt bikes:

The biggest benefit of dirt bike training wheels is to introduce your child to dirt bike riding in the safest manner possible. It also makes dirt bikes much more appealing to kids themselves, giving them confidence that they won't fall over. It's a win-win for both the kids and parents in the fact it will be a less daunting for all involved.

2. Learn basic skills:

With the balance of the dirt bike taken care, young and new riders can learn the basic skills of motocross, such a throttle control and braking. Once they master these skills, then the training wheels can be removed and you can focus on balance while confidently knowing they can handle the throttle and stop when they need to.

3. Progression:

Training wheels allow for safe and measured progression. Children have a lot to learn when first riding a kids dirt bike, and training wheels provide them with the best opportunity of gaining confidence and progressing their own skills, all without the daunting aspect of crashing.

 

Here at MXstore we highly recommend any young and new riders to start riding with training wheels, as it's the ultimate way to keep safe while learning the fundementals and progressing in the sport we know and love.
