Merida Matts

Merida Matts J12

Available in different styles for boys and girls, these 12-inch bikes are best suited for those aged between 2 and 4 years old. During this period, kids typically are still building their riding confidence, improving their coordination and strength.

Merida Matts J20

A versatile kids bike with 20” wheels, the J20 is suitable for a child’s first bike or a new upgrade. Rigid forks and minimal number of gears help keep the weight down, making them easier to ride.

Merida Matts J24

The J24 range is suitable for those aged between 10 & 13 years old. A nice upgrade from the J20, this bike features hydraulic disc brakes.
