Specialized Hotwalk Carbon 12 kids bike

If we want to inspire the next generation of riders, kids deserve better bikes

That’s why Specialized took the same tech behind our world championship-winning bikes and combined it with proportional design to build the ultimate balance bike. Specialized 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? Specialized 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.
