The Merida Matts J.Champion has been thoughtfully crafted for young riders, offering many of the same performance benefits as Merida’s adult mountain bikes. The lightweight aluminium frame, complete with internal cable routing, is not only robust but also designed to minimise maintenance. Rounded edges and durable construction make it ideal for kids who love to ride.
Equipped with an SR Suntour XCR32 Air fork, the Matts J.Champion provides 100mm of travel to smooth out rough trails, and the lockout feature allows efficient pedalling on flat surfaces. The Shimano CUES drivetrain ensures effortless gear changes, giving young riders the ability to tackle climbs and descents with ease.
Hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano deliver reliable stopping power, and the 26-inch wheels with Kevlar bead tyres provide excellent grip and stability across varied terrain. As a bonus, the bike can be upgraded to 27.5-inch wheels, extending its life as your child grows.
With features like a junior-specific saddle and handlebars, the Merida Matts J.Champion prioritises comfort and control for smaller riders. Whether they’re exploring local trails or enjoying family rides, this bike is a reliable and exciting companion for young adventurers.
