MURRIETA, CA (October 20, 2010) — KTM North America, Inc. and Strider Sports International are excited to announce a licensing agreement for the introduction of the KTM Strider PREbike™. The KTM Strider PREbike™ is a revolutionary pedal-free bike that enables toddlers as young as 18 months to learn how to ride and balance on two wheels… years earlier than if they used the conventional tricycle or training wheel method. Most important, Strider™ teaches the skills needed to safely and easily transition to riding both a pedal bike and a Sportminicycle, making the first experience on each much more successful and positive.

On Labor Day Weekend, a year’s worth of BMX racing across the country came to a spectacular conclusion at the 33rd Annual NBL Grand Nationals. Riders of all ages and skill levels converged on Louisville, KY for 4 days of BMX racing with National Champions crowned from the Rookie classes all the way up to the Elite Pro riders. As the Official PREbike of the NBL (National Bicycle League) Strider was represented in full force.
All weekend long the future “stars” of tomorrow got their chance to stretch their legs and ride on two wheels like the pros by taking advantage of the demo rides offered by the enthusiastic NBL staff. All the fun and excitement came together on the last day with a Strider PREbike race on the actual professional BMX Grand National track in front of all the cheering fans. Jess Moore, Director of Marketing for the NBL summed it up: “There wasn’t really what I would call a “winner”. Some of the kids’ parents never let go of them, some never finished and others just kept going. It was a blast for the families involved and the fans loved it! What a great way to wrap up our first year of partnering with Strider.
As Strider continues its strong support of the NBL for the 2011 season, we encourage all Strider riders and their parent “pit crews” to look for NBL racing in your area. Click here to learn more about Strider / NBL developmental partnership.
