Matti26
Lightweight aluminium frame with trail geometry
Thanks to the cleverly designed set of 6061 aluminium tubes, the Matti frame is extremely light, stiff and robust all at once. The geometry is sporty yet balanced, and with a slack head angle of 67°, it is specifically tailored to the needs of young trail riders: a short rear triangle makes the bike particularly agile and makes it easier to shift weight on technically challenging terrain. Combined with a shortened top tube and head tube, the bike’s handling is noticeably improved, thereby increasing control and riding safety. A steep seat angle, combined with child-friendly cranks, supports ergonomic and efficient pedalling and helps to conserve valuable energy.
A child-friendly crank. Powerful and clever.
We have specifically designed the lightweight VPACE SL children’s crankset to suit the anatomy of young cyclists with narrow hips. With a Q-factor of 150 mm, it allows for a natural leg position, resulting in greater pedalling efficiency and noticeably better power transfer. Thanks to the 3-hole direct mount, changing the chainring is a matter of seconds.
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 rocky sections, tight bends and steep drops.
High-performance suspension fork with Kids Tune
The high-performance Manitou suspension fork offers maximum comfort and control off-road. Featuring 100 mm of travel, it is specially tuned to suit the lighter weight of young trail riders – Kids Tuned Suspension. As a result, it offers particularly responsive handling and delivers top performance on the trail.
The 29er principle combined with robust VPACE SL wheelsets
With the VPACE 29er concept, we use large wheels across all model sizes. For example, a child who is 130 cm tall can already ride a Matti26 with 26-inch wheels. With other manufacturers, however, they would be on a 24-inch bike. Why does this make sense? Because larger wheels roll more efficiently, offer a smoother ride and clear obstacles more easily. Combined with the robust and lightweight wheels, young mountain bikers benefit from significantly greater efficiency and safety on the trail.
Scope of application
The Matti is a Category 3 mountain bike and is therefore ideally suited to rough trails, unpaved paths and technically challenging terrain. Jumps and drops of up to 60 cm are no problem, provided you have the right riding technique. Whether it’s a leisurely ride or a quick lap on your local trail, the Matti delivers on its promises. The Matti26 has been designed for a rider weight of up to 50 kg.
The perfect size
The chart shows a recommendation based on body height. However, depending on your riding style, body proportions or personal preferences, a smaller or larger model may also be suitable. Simple adjustments, such as a longer or shorter stem, a different seatpost or the position of the saddle, allow you to tailor the bike perfectly to your needs.
