Code:Q410

The Merida Matts J.Champion is the perfect stepping stone for budding mountain bikers. With a lightweight aluminium frame, air-damped suspension fork, and junior-specific components, it delivers confidence-inspiring performance on a variety of terrains.

Key Features:

  • Frame: Double-butted 6061 aluminium frame, lightweight and durable with internal cable routing.
  • Front Suspension: SR Suntour XCR32 Air fork with 100mm travel and lockout for smooth, adjustable performance.
  • Drivetrain: Shimano CUES U6000 10-speed drivetrain for easy gear shifting.
  • Brakes: Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes for controlled and reliable stopping power.
  • Wheels: 26-inch wheels with Merida K1227 Kevlar bead tyres for excellent grip.
  • Other Features: Adjustable air suspension fork and junior-specific finishing kit for tailored comfort.
  • Finance Options: Available with 0% APR finance for budget-friendly purchasing.

The Merida Matts J.Champion has been thoughtfully crafted for young riders, offering many of the same performance benefits as Merida’s adult mountain bikes. The lightweight aluminium frame, complete with internal cable routing, is not only robust but also designed to minimise maintenance. Rounded edges and durable construction make it ideal for kids who love to ride.

Equipped with an SR Suntour XCR32 Air fork, the Matts J.Champion provides 100mm of travel to smooth out rough trails, and the lockout feature allows efficient pedalling on flat surfaces. The Shimano CUES drivetrain ensures effortless gear changes, giving young riders the ability to tackle climbs and descents with ease.

Hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano deliver reliable stopping power, and the 26-inch wheels with Kevlar bead tyres provide excellent grip and stability across varied terrain. As a bonus, the bike can be upgraded to 27.5-inch wheels, extending its life as your child grows.

With features like a junior-specific saddle and handlebars, the Merida Matts J.Champion prioritises comfort and control for smaller riders. Whether they’re exploring local trails or enjoying family rides, this bike is a reliable and exciting companion for young adventurers.
