Merida Matts J. 24 2026

Adult cyclists know that having the right equipment is essential to enjoying cycling, so why settle for low-quality, heavy, and unreliable kits for your children? The MATTS J24 offers the same riding quality as adult bikes because it uses the same advanced aluminum frame technology, along with high-quality equipment from major brands, such as the smooth-shifting Shimano drivetrain and SR Suntour fork with custom spring, as well as brakes and gears designed to be easy for children to use. The MATTS J range is designed for the heroes of tomorrow, which is why Merida has poured all the know-how gained from years of manufacturing adult bikes into lightweight, high-quality bikes for children to enjoy. High-quality components chosen specifically for children's needs are combined with aluminum frames, created with the same meticulous attention to detail and quality of finish as other bikes. This is the only way to ensure that young cyclists can fully enjoy the pleasure of riding, safe in the knowledge that their bike will never let them down.
