Merida Matts J.Champion – Wild Honey (Black) – MY26
£800.00 inc. VAT
A bike to grow up with. Equipped with 26″ wheels, but with potential to run 27.5″ wheels as the rider grows. Air fork, Shimano 1 x 9 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes and a dropper post.
Everything a young rider needs to become a Champion of tomorrow – and nothing they don’t. The Matts J Champion has a lightweight aluminium frame with 26” wheels, married to the same quality of components offered by our adult bikes, but with finishing kit suited to their needs. A proper suspension fork, dropper seat post and hydraulic disc brakes guarantee control on real mountain bike terrain, while a wide-range Shimano drivetrain make hills easy. Suits heights from approx. 137-150 cm tall.

The start to the "proper" mountain biking journey: 29er aluminium hardtail with trail ready geometry, 120mm air fork with lockout, Shimano 1 x 9 drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes,
Available in 15″ or 13" frame size, our Squish 26 is a great choice for your little cyclist aged 9 years and over. Of course, at this age, they’re often more grown up than their parents (or so we let them think!), this is why at Squish HQ in Birmingham, we purposefully designed the colours and graphics to be more subtle. You still get little Squish clinging onto the front of the bike and cool little hints of colour on the rims, headset spacers and even the rear mech hanger, but that’s just a nod to the playful side of Squish….these bikes mean business! With 152mm cranks, 32T chainring and Shimano 8spd 11-32T cassette, there’s enough gear ratio’s to get up most hills when powered on sweets, and enough low gears to race back down. The double-wall alloy rims, powerful alloy v-brakes and robust triple butted frame ensure weight is kept to a minimum, but ensures performance is second to none!
