Kids Ride Shotgun

Shotgun Pro Evo

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve ridden this on both trail bikes and e-MTBs, and it feels solid without getting in the way of handling. The adjustability makes a big difference, especially when switching between bikes."

We rely on the Shotgun Pro EVO for riding with young passengers on mountain bikes, where stability, fit, and ease of use all matter. Designed specifically for modern MTB geometry, it allows us to bring a child along without compromising control or cockpit space, keeping the riding experience natural and balanced.

The 2-in-1 system transitions from a harnessed configuration for smaller riders to an open Pro seat as they grow, extending usability across multiple years without requiring upgrades. A zero-frame-contact mounting system attaches at the headset and seat post, preventing frame damage while maintaining a centered and stable position. The quick-release mechanism enables fast installation and removal after initial setup, and the included spacers allow compatibility across multiple bikes.

Safety features include a 5-point harness, sternum strap, and a Fidlock® buckle designed for secure and easy operation. Full adjustability of seat position and angle improves fit and rider ergonomics, while maintaining proper clearance for steering and suspension movement. The system is compatible with a wide range of mountain bikes, including electric models with wider down tubes.

We recommend this setup for riders looking to share trail time with young passengers, especially those riding mountain bikes who want a stable, adjustable, and long-term solution that grows with their riding experience.
