Sunlite Heavy Duty Training Wheels
Sunlite’s Heavy Duty Training Wheels earn a market-leader spot for riders who need reinforced support without the highest premium: their beefy brackets and wider stance prioritize durability for heavier kids and rougher terrain. They typically cost less than top-tier Wald hardware while closing the gap on sturdiness, giving a strong technical advantage for families wanting a rugged, cost-effective alternative. Against the lighter or cosmetic kits here, Sunlite stands out for workload-focused performance at a mid-market price point.
