The Matts Junior 24+ 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 1x8 drivetrain has a wide 11-38T range for climbing, and 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 129cm to 137cm tall.
