It was part of the Action Bikes range, smaller in size than the Grifter but larger than the Boxer, with frame dimensions designed to accommodate 6 to 10 year olds.
The most notable features are the imitation front suspension forks and the chunky padded saddle.
The Strika was heavy compared to a similar size BMX and reputed to have ungainly handling qualities for stunt riding[citation needed].
Known production colours are flame red, lime green, black, and silver.
[2] In the late 1990s, Raleigh released the Dirt Cross with a frame styling and design similar to that of the Strika.
