{"product_id":"merida-matts-junior-24-2027","title":"Matts J.24 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the junior Matts that gets a suspension fork. An SR Suntour XCS28 with 50mm of travel and a spring tuned for light riders sits up front, which is worth having if your child is riding rooty singletrack rather than laps of the park. Behind it is the same aluminium frame technology used on the adult Matts hardtails, with clearance for tyres up to 24 x 2.25 and a 135 x 9mm quick release rear axle. It fits riders of roughly 129-137cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe parts that matter most on a child's bike are the ones they touch. Braking is Tektro HD-J2820 hydraulic discs on short reach levers, so a light hand can still stop the bike quickly on a descent. Shifting is a single Microshift Acolyte trigger with a gear indicator, running an 11-38 eight speed cassette against a 32 tooth chainring, which means one lever and a low enough gear for a steep hill. Kenda Small Block 8 tyres in 24 x 1.95 roll quickly on hardpack, the bar is 600mm with a 25mm rise, and the cranks are a proportionate 127mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatts J.24 aluminium frame, 135 x 9mm quick release rear axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSR Suntour XCS28 coil fork with 50mm travel and light rider tune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits riders of approximately 129-137cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTektro HD-J2820 hydraulic disc brakes with short reach levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroshift Acolyte 8 speed trigger shifter, short reach with gear indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 tooth chainring with 11-38 cassette, 127mm cranks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenda Small Block 8 24 x 1.95 tyres on Merida Jr. aluminium rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Expert Jr. 600mm bar with 25mm rise, junior grips and saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded BSA bottom bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork rated for tyres up to 24 x 2.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Matts J.24\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: Kids\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront Travel: 50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 24in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eMATTS J. 24; material: aluminium; 24x2.4 max. wheelsize; 135x9\/100x9mm axle standard; BSA bottom bracket standard\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork - \u003c\/strong\u003eSR Suntour XCS28; coil; 50mm suspension travel; 24x2.25 max. wheelsize\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset - \u003c\/strong\u003eFSA NO.10P Neck15\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp CC; aluminium; 31.8mm diameter; 7 degree rise\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebar - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Expert Jr.; aluminium; 600mm wide; 25mm rise\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrips - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Expert Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Type - \u003c\/strong\u003eHydraulic Disc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes - \u003c\/strong\u003eFront: Tektro HD-J2820; hydraulic disc brake; short reach Rear: Tektro HD-J2820; hydraulic disc brake; short reach\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheels - \u003c\/strong\u003eRims: Merida Jr. 24+; aluminium Spokes: Black steel Front Hub: KT-K68F; 100x9mm; 24 spoke holes Rear Hub: KT-CU8R-8\/9\/10S; 135x9mm; 24 spoke holes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTyres - \u003c\/strong\u003eFront: Kenda Small Block 8; 24x1.95; wired Rear: Kenda Small Block 8; 24x1.95; wired\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Size - \u003c\/strong\u003e24\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds - \u003c\/strong\u003e8\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShifters - \u003c\/strong\u003eRear: Microshift Acolyte Quick Trigger Pro; SL-M6285-R; Super short reach; Gear indicator\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur - \u003c\/strong\u003eMicroshift Acolyte Speed Super Short Cage; RD-M5180S; Super short cage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainset - \u003c\/strong\u003eProwheel A10PP; 32 teeth; Aluminium; Crank Length: 127mm for all sizes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket - \u003c\/strong\u003eSquared LL116\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain - \u003c\/strong\u003eKMC Z8.3\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCassette - \u003c\/strong\u003eMicroshift CS-083; 11-38 teeth; 8 speed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedals - \u003c\/strong\u003eVP VPE-229\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Expert Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Post - \u003c\/strong\u003eMerida Comp CC; 27.2mm diameter; 0mm layback; Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merida","offers":[{"title":"Black (Silver) \/ One Size","offer_id":58649698500982,"sku":"S670","price":550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3065\/6691\/files\/matts-j-24-2027-black-silver-one-size-1257619189.jpg?v=1788958075","url":"https:\/\/www.biketart.com\/products\/merida-matts-junior-24-2027","provider":"Biketart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
