Mothers everywhere are suddenly staying home on Saturdays....;-) Im all for giving the little tykes the trail experience, but this is'nt the optimal way to do it. 1. its a good thing they have "baby" teeth 2. "no effect on the bikes performance"? - you are actually adding weight so you will have to 'spring-up' in the forks, 3. obstacles that require front wheel lift will now take some effort, and going over the bars if miscalculated is not a good scenario with a little one in front of you. Get the kid a dirt strider and let them rip...

The URGE Enduromatic already was in use with F-1 and Nascar pit-teams for that last few years.

I postulate its about making the bike more maneuverable by steepening the HT angle. Need to see the bottom cup to tell the tale. ;-)
