Razor DXT Drift Trike Review Posted in: Ride-ons
Imagine this, riding through steep downhill slides, gliding smoothly but in a low-traction tricycle – that is what you call trike drifting. Trike drifting is an extreme sport for many of its enthusiasts, just like dirt biking.

Start with the basics and slowly open up to more challenging courses and terrains to ride on your drift trike.
