Merida’s Matts J range is designed for the heroes of tomorrow, which is why they put all the know-how gained from years of making adult bikes into lightweight, high-quality machines for kids to enjoy. High-quality components chosen specifically for the needs of children are married to Merida’s aluminium frames that are created with the same painstaking attention to detail and quality of finish as the rest of their bikes. That’s the only way to guarantee that young riders get the same enjoyment of cycling, safe in the knowledge that their bike will never let them down.
The Matts J20 Plus is a fat-tyred monster truck that offers the control and grip of chunky 20" oversize tyres, paired to a rigid fork that keeps excess weight to the absolute minimum, which reduces the effort needed to get up to speed and keeps little legs fresher for longer. Add in Merida’s kids specific finishing kit, powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a smooth Shimano drivetrain and you’ve got an awful lot of fun without the fat. Suits heights from approx. 109-129 cm tall.

* All specifications listed are subject to change without notice. Please note that our specifications may be impacted by manufacturer component substitution changes caused by high global demand for bikes and resulting supply chain issues in the bike industry. We recommend confirming the specifications with your local Evo Cycles showroom if you have any questions.
Bike Weight: Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on frame size, finish, hardware and accessories. The most accurate way to determine any bike's weight is to have your local showroom weigh it for you.
