2026 Merida Matts J.20+

Lightweight Junior Mountain Bike

The 2026 Merida Matts J.20+ is purpose-built for young riders who want confidence, comfort, and control on every ride. Designed with a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame and rigid fork, it delivers easy handling and efficient performance without the unnecessary bulk of budget suspension forks. Weighing approximately 9.5kg, it is light enough for children to manoeuvre and lift, helping to build riding skills from the very first pedal stroke.

Fitted with wide 2.4-inch tyres, the J.20+ offers outstanding comfort, grip, and stability across varied terrain, while a simple 1x drivetrain and Microshift trigger shifters make gear changes quick and intuitive. Powerful Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with short-reach levers ensure smooth and reliable stopping in all weather conditions, providing safety and confidence for junior riders.

Every component has been carefully chosen with young cyclists in mind, from the short-reach handlebars to the flip-flop stem that allows for growth, extending the bike’s usable life. The bike suits riders from approximately 109cm to 129cm in height, making it an ideal step up from a first geared bike.

Key Features:

• Lightweight TFS 6061 aluminium frame with rigid fork for responsive handling
• Wide 2.4″ tyres for extra grip, stability, and comfort
• 1×8-speed drivetrain with Microshift trigger shifters for simple gear changes
• Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with short-reach levers for powerful stopping
• Flip-flop stem and adjustable spacers to accommodate growing riders
• Approximate weight: 9.5kg

The 2026 Merida Matts J.20+ is the perfect junior mountain bike for young riders ready to tackle trails, paths, and family adventures with confidence. Built for performance, comfort, and durability, it’s a bike that will inspire a love of cycling from the very first ride.
