MT4 Brake Kit for Dirt Hero

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve set this brake up on the Dirt Hero and it’s hands-down the best braking solution I’ve seen for balance bikes. The Magura MT4 delivers smooth, predictable power without requiring much hand strength, and the HC1 lever actually fits small hands properly. The child-safe rotor guard is a detail that really matters when riding off-road, and the fact that it comes pre-bled makes installation refreshingly simple."

We believe learning to brake before pedaling is one of the most important steps in building confident riders, and the Kids Ride Shotgun Magura MT4 Disc Brake Kit makes that progression feel natural and controlled. Designed specifically for off-road balance bikes, this kit delivers consistent hydraulic braking with far less effort than traditional rim brakes, giving riders the confidence to manage speed on dirt, grass, and gentle trail descents.

At the core of the system is Magura’s proven MT4 hydraulic caliper paired with the HC1 brake lever, known for its excellent reach adjustment and smooth feel. A child-safe rotor guard adds peace of mind without sacrificing performance, while the pre-bled hose and included hardware simplify setup. It’s a purpose-built braking solution that brings real mountain bike control to balance bike riding.
