The Matts Junior 20+ is all about keeping things light for young riders. Like all Merida kids' bikes it uses a rigid fork, because cheap suspension forks tend to work poorly and add a lot of weight, and a 1x drivetrain with a trigger shifter keeps gear changes simple while saving even more weight.
Every component is chosen to be as light and child-friendly as possible. Short-reach Tektro hydraulic disc brakes give powerful, easy stopping, the Microshift trigger shifter has a gear indicator and super-short reach, and plump 2.1" Maxxis Pace tyres add grip and comfort. The flip-flop stem and spacers let you adjust the fit as your child grows, extending the life of the bike.
It suits riders from approximately 109cm to 129cm tall.
