Merida MATTS J. Champion

It’s all about lightweight for kids.

We care as much about our kids' bikes as we do those in our adult range; all components are as light, and child focused as possible.

We use 1x drivetrains with rapid-fire shifters to make shifting simple and, again, reduce the overall weight.

The Matts Junior Champion uses a lightweight air fork.

All bikes have a focus on longevity; not just the high-quality paint finish, protected by a lacquer coat to keep the bike looking fresh for hand me downs or sale but also the flip-flop stem and spacers allowing for growth, extending the life of Matts Junior+ bikes. The Junior Champion can be upgraded to 27.5" wheels for additional longevity.
