Quick to Fit
Once the initial setup is complete, the quick-release system allows the seat to be fitted or removed in approximately 30 seconds. No permanent bike modifications are required, making it practical for riders who regularly switch between family rides and riding on their own.
Adjustable as Your Child Grows
The leg width, seat angle and saddle position can be adjusted to suit your bike and child. Two footpeg positions provide additional room as your little rider grows.
The seat is recommended for children approximately 2–5 years old and weighing 12–27 kg.
Dedicated Handlebars for Little Hands
The included Shotgun 2.0 handlebars give your child a comfortable place to hold and help keep their hands away from your brakes, gears and dropper-post control.
Custom 19 mm grips are sized for smaller hands, while rubber protection helps protect your bike’s handlebar.

Who Is It For?
This combo is for mountain-bike families with a child who can sit independently, follow instructions and remain awake throughout the ride. It is well suited to mellow trails, family rides and introducing younger children to mountain biking from the front of the bike.
Our Thoughts
The Shotgun 2.0 Combo is a practical way to include younger riders in your mountain-bike adventures. The dedicated handlebars give little hands a natural place to hold, while the quick-release seat makes it easy to return the bike to its normal setup after a family ride.
The frame-mounted design is simple and adjustable, but checking compatibility is important. Remember that this model is intended for conventional mountain bikes and cannot be fitted to an e-bike.
Important Use Advice
Always follow the supplied fitting and safety instructions. Check every attachment point before riding and make sure your child wears a correctly fitted helmet, remains seated and keeps both feet on the footpegs.
Start with short rides in a controlled environment so both rider and child can become familiar with the change in weight and handling. Avoid technical trails, large drops and terrain beyond your child’s comfort level.
