Everything a young bike rider needs to progress to being the champion of tomorrow - and nothing they don’t. The Matts J.Champion has a lightweight aluminium frame married to quality components that allow kids all the advantages offered by our adult bikes, but with finishing kit suited to their needs. A proper air damped suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes guarantee control on real mountain bike terrain, while a wide-range Shimano drivetrain make hills easy to climb. Suits heights from approx. 137-150 cm tall. Supplied with fast rolling 26" wheels, the bike can be upgraded with 27.5" wheels at a later stage, extending its life.
