Kids nowadays ride just as hard as adults, so they need the same high-quality frames and equipment. This trail-ready bike will take on everything.
Everything a young bike rider needs to progress to being the champion of tomorrow – and nothing they don’t. The MATTS J CHAMPION gets a lightweight aluminium frame with 26” wheels, married to quality components that allow kids all the same advantages offered by our adult bikes, but with finishing kit suited to their needs. A proper suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes guarantee control on real mountain bike terrain, while a wide-range Shimano drivetrain makes hills easy. Suits heights from approx. 137-150 cm tall.
Our MATTS J range is designed for the heroes of tomorrow, which is why we put all the know-how gained from years of making adult bikes into lightweight, high-quality machines for kids to enjoy. High-quality components chosen specifically for the needs of children are married to our aluminium frames that are created with the same painstaking attention to detail and quality of finish as the rest of our bikes. That’s the only way to guarantee that young riders get the same enjoyment of cycling, safe in the knowledge that their bike will never let them down. Whatever your age, your level of ability or your size, we have the perfect first MERIDA ready for you. See you on the start line!
