Ducati Corse STRIDER Bike Ready For Summer Riding

Officially Licensed Ducati Corse STRIDER No-Pedal Balance Bikes Give Toddlers The Look Of  Famous Motorcycle Racing Champions

Rapid City, SD (July 15, 2013) — Building on the worldwide success of the original STRIDER bike (over 500,000 sold to date), the new Special Edition Nicky Hayden Ducati Corse STRIDER gives toddlers a bike with the true look of a motorcycle champion! After hopping on the Ducati Desmosedici GP13 inspired STRIDER bike, any toddler will want to feel the thrill of racing like their heroes.

 If a toddler can walk, the Ducati Corse STRIDER will have them cruising over dirt, grass, and pavement. The bike is mechanically the same as a standard STRIDER, but is customized with graphics inspired by the livery of the Ducati Desmosedici GP13 and a number plate sporting the famous race number used by Ducati’s superstar Nicky Hayden, for an authentic racing look.

The Ducati Corse STRIDER bike is a must-have developmental tool for children aged 18 months to five years. It weighs just 6.7 pounds, is easy to control, and features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly, the STRIDER bike teaches children balance and coordination and develops a glittering confidence not seen with tricycles or training wheel bikes.

 The STRIDER bike was recently tested at the University of South Dakota’s Division of Kinesiology and Sport Science where a study conducted over a four-week period with three to five-year-old children concluded that participants benefited from using a STRIDER bike by improving their balance and functional fitness, while likely reducing future injuries during their daily routines.

 “The Ducati Corse STRIDER is an exciting new addition to our line of moto branded STRIDERS,” says Ryan McFarland, Founder of Strider. “The Ducati brand is synonymous with performance and passion for riding. We’re thrilled to bring that trademark Ducati red and all the official logos to our STRIDER bike, offering the look of a true racing machine!”
