Quick answer

The Strider 12 Pro Summer Exclusive offers exclusive colors and upgraded components on the same premium frame as the standard 12 Pro, but costs more. Choose the Summer Exclusive for a unique look and extra features, or save with the standard model if you just need top performance.

What stays the same

What changes with the Summer Exclusive

The Summer Exclusive adds a special frame color you can't get on the standard model, along with upgraded gear that inspires more confidence for riders who are getting bigger and faster. This makes it a unique collector's item for families who want something special.
