The Raleigh Strika was a children's bicycle that the Raleigh Bicycle Company of Nottingham built between 1976 and 1983. It belonged to the Action Bikes range, sitting above the Boxer and below the Grifter in size, with a frame meant for children of about 6 to 10 years. Its styling looked like a BMX, though it was probably meant to suggest a motorbike, with imitation front suspension forks and a chunky padded saddle. It was heavy next to a comparable BMX and was reputed to handle awkwardly for stunt riding. Early examples had a back pedal brake as well as hand brakes, a feature dropped after about 1978. Known colours were flame red, lime green, black and silver, and in 1980 a Strika XL added a yellow frame and blue tyres. The Burner and Mini Burner replaced it in the 1980s, although Raleigh brochures for 1982 and 1983 still list it beside the Burner.
