The Kids Ride Shotgun G2 Pro Combo represents the pinnacle of front-mounted child seats, designed specifically for mountain bike families who want to share the stoke of technical trails. This isn't just a seat; it’s a high-performance cockpit for your passenger. By placing the child in a central position, the bike’s balance remains predictable, and the rider can easily communicate with their "co-pilot" while navigating singletrack.
The "Pro" designation signifies a major engineering shift: Zero Frame Contact. Unlike traditional seats that clamp onto the top tube, the G2 Pro mounts exclusively to the headset and seatpost. This makes it the premier choice for owners of high-end carbon frames or E-MTBs with oversized down tubes, as it eliminates any risk of paint rub or structural pressure on the frame itself.
The G2 Pro is designed for "lightning-fast" transitions. Once the initial setup is complete, the seat can be attached or removed in about 30 seconds via a heavy-duty quick-release system. This makes it incredibly easy to swap between two different bikes—perfect for households where both parents want a turn at being the lead rider.
Included in this combo are the Shotgun Pro Handlebars. These aren't just scaled-down bars; they feature custom 19mm "Pro" grips specifically sized for tiny hands. This gives the child their own dedicated contact point, preventing them from accidentally interfering with your brakes or shifters while providing a sense of security and engagement during the ride.
Zero Frame Contact: Mounts to the headset (replaces a 10mm spacer) and the seatpost, protecting your bike's finish and structural integrity.
E-MTB Compatible: The adjustable leg width ensures it fits even the widest down tubes found on modern electric mountain bikes.
Lightning-Fast Fitting: Quick-release mechanism allows for installation and removal in seconds after the initial setup.
Adjustable Leg Length: The legs feature 7 different height options, allowing the seat to grow with your child from ages 2 to 5.
Custom Pro Handlebars: Includes a dedicated handlebar with small-diameter grips, fitting both 31.8mm and 35mm handlebar diameters.
Adjustable Saddle Position: The saddle can be tilted and moved forward or aft to ensure your child stays upright and comfortable regardless of your bike's geometry.

Premium Carbon & E-MTB Owners: If you have a high-value frame and want zero risk of frame damage while still riding with your child.
Two-Bike Households: Perfect if you want to frequently swap the seat between two different mountain bikes with minimal effort.
Active Mountain Bike Families: Ideal for those who ride technical terrain where maintaining the bike’s natural centre of gravity is essential for safety.
Budget-Minded Casual Riders: If you only ride on flat bike paths and don't mind frame contact, the Shotgun 2.0 provides a similar experience at a lower price point.
Road or Gravel Bike Users: Due to the lack of clearance between the front wheel and down tube, this seat is strictly for mountain bikes with front suspension.
The G2 Pro Combo comes with two headset spacers in the box, which is a huge bonus—it means you can set up two different bikes right away and swap the seat back and forth without buying extra parts. When installing, make sure the child's legs are adjusted so their knees have a slight bend; if they are too straight, they may hit your handlebars during tight turns. Also, because this seat sits slightly higher than the frame-mounted versions, shorter riders may find it helpful to use a dropper post to make mounting and dismounting the bike a bit more stable!
