Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the GT Shuffle. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
9 reasons to buy
- Parents thought that the Shuffle was good value and competitively priced.
- By all reports, this balance-bike was a breeze to assemble.
- Parents said their children were coasting, with feet up, after 2 weeks use.
- Reviewers’ kids skipped the need for training wheels, using the Shuffle.
- Real bearings are used in the Shuffle’s headset, not bushings.
- Quality wheels are built from aluminum rims and 14g stainless steel spokes.
- These pneumatic tires roll right over the solid foam used on cheaper bikes.
- The Shuffle offered up to 2 or 3 years growth for ciclistitos.
- Slick BMX looks gave the Shuffle an edge over the competition.
4 reasons not to buy
- One parent felt that a handbrake would be most welcome.
- A reviewer deemed the quick-release seatpost clamp to be, “not amazing”.
- Paintwork showed a small amount of chipping on one owner’s new bike.
- A parent said that all bearings were overtightened on their new Shuffle.
Bottom line
This is a solid BMX-style balance-bike. It’s sturdily constructed from Hi-Ten steel but light enough for tots to maneuver. Pneumatic tires with tubes are much higher quality than the solid-foam used on some other balance-bikes. The threaded 1” headset uses real bearings and can be maintained. Parents felt that there was a couple of years room to grow on their Shuffles. The build quality of this bike suggests that it will last through training kids onto their first pedal bike – and then serve as a hand-me-down for some other lucky learner. One owner even felt that it was a step above the renowned Strider.
