The lightweight aluminium frame is built with the same care and finish as Merida’s full-size bikes, using double-butted tubing and smooth welds for strength without excess weight. At this size, saving weight is especially important, and the rigid aluminium fork helps keep the bike light and manageable for younger riders.Oversized 24” wheels are fitted with wide Maxxis Pace tyres, offering more surface contact for grip, cushioning, and stability on mixed terrain. This “plus tyre” setup makes the bike more forgiving and confidence-inspiring, perfect for tackling trails, paths, and family rides. The geometry has been inspired by Merida’s MTB range, giving young riders stability and easy handling.The drivetrain is a Microshift Acolyte 8-speed system, simple and intuitive with a wide 11-38T cassette to handle climbs and descents. Short-reach trigger shifters are designed for smaller hands, making gear changes smooth and easy. Stopping is handled by Tektro HD-J2820 hydraulic disc brakes, which offer reliable, controlled braking with child-friendly levers and 160mm rotors front and rear.Finishing kit is junior-specific too, from the narrower 600mm bars to the shorter cranks and scaled saddle, all designed for comfort and control. This bike suits children approximately 129–137 cm tall, giving them a platform to grow their riding skills with confidence.The Matts J range is built with the same expertise Merida puts into their adult bikes, so you can trust the build quality and reliability. The Matts J.24+ is a bike that’s fun, capable, and easy to ride – giving kids everything they need to enjoy cycling and build a lifelong love for two wheels.
