Matts Junior 20+ 2026

It’s all about lightweight for kids; Merida bikes have rigid forks as cheap suspension forks tend to work poorly and weigh a lot. 1x drivetrains with trigger shifters to keep shifting simple, further reducing the overall weight.

All components are as light and child-focused as possible. The flip-flop stem and spacers allow for growth, extending the life of the bike.

Suits heights from approx. 109-129 cm.
