Description[]
Released in 2004 to 2006, these weighty Motor Cycles are designed to race on Hot Wheels tracks. The bases of each motorcycle is designed in such a way that the bike cannot easily fall over. These bikes have small wheels on either side the motorcycles do not drag on the sidewalls of Hot Wheels tracks. The copyright date for Mattel products is designated a year before, so although the packaging for these bikes may say '2003', for example, it was actually released in 2004.
In 2006, the Hero Cycles line debuted. All of the castings in the Hero Cycles line had DC comics liveries, and used the same castings as Thunder Cycles.
