RAPID CITY, S.D. (BRAIN) — Strider Bikes is now the exclusive authorized retailer for Kellys children's bikes in the United States.
Kellys is a major European bike brand, founded in Slovakia in 1991, but rarely seen in the U.S. A Strider spokesperson told BRAIN that Strider will not be wholesaling Kellys models.
"We've searched for a long time to find the perfect bike to recommend for kids once they graduate from Strider," said Strider's Founder and CEO Ryan McFarland. "Kellys' line of children's bikes are perfect because they align with our passion and values, and share a lot of the same features as our bikes — they're lightweight, dependable, low maintenance, and feature kid-specific components that keep riding fun."
Strider will be selling three Kellys models: the Kellys NAGA Air Belt, the Kellys NAGA Air 50, and the Kellys NAGA Air 70 Disc.
The Kellys NAGA Air Belt is available in 18-inch and 20-inch wheel models. The Kellys NAGA Air 50 has a 7-speed drivetrain, and is available in 20-inch and 24-inch models. The Kellys NAGA Air 70 Disc is also available in 20-inch and 24-inch wheel models.
