Moritz
The lightweight trail and enduro full-suspension bike
Lightweight. Versatile. Powerful.
Powerful on the descents, nimble on the climbs. This lightweight trail enduro full-suspension bike, with up to 140 mm of travel, is based on modern geometry and impresses with outstanding handling on challenging trails. Designed for young trail shredders who love to go full throttle on the descents and also want to pedal uphill. Fitted with high-quality, durable components from SRAM, Magura, Manitou, Fox, Schwalbe and VPACE, five model sizes are available for ambitious trail kids between 110 cm and 160 cm tall.
MORITZ20 Children’s Trail Full-Suspension Bike
Single-pivot rear suspension and enduro geometry
The lightweight MORITZ frame, made from 6061 aluminium, has been specially developed for young riders: with tube dimensions suited to children, a low weight and a robust construction for full trail performance. The modern enduro geometry, with a slack head angle (65°) and short rear end, ensures agility and flow over rough terrain and maximum fun on the descents. Depending on the model size, either a lightweight, low-maintenance single-pivot rear suspension (MORITZ20 and 24) or a single-pivot system with a Flex Seatstay System (MORITZ26 and 275) is used. The latter increases comfort and traction on technical trails thanks to its flexible seat stays. Thanks to the special ‘Kids Tuned’ shock tuning and a cleverly positioned pivot point, the rear suspension system operates very responsively, efficiently and without interfering with pedalling. This makes the MORITZ perfectly suited to longer uphill rides as well.
Trail-optimised cockpit
The handlebars and stems are both lightweight and robust; they are optimally adapted in length and width to the respective model size, thereby ensuring safe and controlled handling on the trails. Gear changes are made using smooth-operating SRAM shift levers, whilst braking is handled by reliable 2- or 4-piston disc brakes from Magura. The 1-finger HC aluminium brake levers can be perfectly adjusted to fit smaller children’s hands and offer precise control and maximum braking power with minimal effort.
The two smaller models correspond to a Category 3 mountain bike and are therefore ideally suited to rough trails, unpaved paths and technically demanding terrain. Jumps and drops of up to 60 cm in height are no problem, provided you have the right riding technique. The three larger models correspond to Category 4 mountain bikes and are therefore suitable for technically demanding terrain, rough trails and occasional use in bike parks. Jumps and drops of up to 100 cm are no problem, provided you have good and safe riding technique.
Shock absorbers for maximum trail performance – Kids Tuned
Whether Fox or Manitou – the shock absorbers fitted, with 100, 125 or 130 mm of travel, are perfectly tailored to the low body weight of young riders (Kids Tuned). They respond with exceptional sensitivity, offer efficient, finely controlled damping and progressive suspension, and ensure outstanding traction, control and comfort on technical trails, fast descents and jumps.
The right seat height at the touch of a button
With the Kind Shock Dropper seatpost, you can easily lower the saddle height as and when required using a remote lever on the handlebars, thereby improving safety on descents. Ideal for technical terrain with technical sections, tight bends, steep drops and jumps. Also available as an option on the MORITZ20.
FRED – The uncompromising freeride and downhill machine
This bike only knows one direction – downhill. With up to 180 mm of suspension travel and progressive downhill geometry, this robust full-suspension bike is designed for epic bike park sessions and challenging downhill race tracks featuring big drops, boulder-strewn sections and root-covered trails that are just begging to be tackled at high speed. For today’s up-and-coming shredders and tomorrow’s gravity stars.

Your bike will arrive in a box, fully pre-assembled, perfectly adjusted and ready to go. All you need to do is take the bike out of the box and carry out the following final assembly steps yourself:
- Adjust the handlebars to the correct position
- Fit the front wheel
- Adjust the saddle to the correct height
- Screw on the pedals
The right frame size depends primarily on height and inseam. To do this, measure your child’s height without shoes and determine their inseam (inside leg length)
1. Measure height
To determine height, have your child stand barefoot, upright with their back against a wall. Now place a book horizontally on their head and measure the distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the book.
2. Measure the inseam
To determine the inseam, have your child stand barefoot, upright with their back against a wall, clamp a book between their legs and pull it upwards into their crotch with the top edge horizontal. Now measure the distance from the floor to the top edge of the book. The length you’ve measured is your child’s inseam.
3. Determining the right bike size / frame size
As well as height, inseam length also plays an important role in determining the right bike size/frame size. To ensure your child can ride safely, their inseam length should be at least equal to the standover height of the selected size.
