Matz29
Lightweight aluminium frame
Thanks to the cleverly designed set of 6061 aluminium tubes, the Matz frame is extremely light, stiff and robust all at once. The geometry is sporty yet balanced and specifically tailored to the needs of young cyclists: a short rear triangle makes the bike particularly agile and makes it easier to shift weight on technically challenging terrain. Combined with a shorter top tube and head tube, the bike’s handling is noticeably improved, thereby enhancing control and riding safety. A steep seat angle, combined with child-friendly cranks, supports ergonomic and efficient pedalling and helps 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 riders 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.
Smooth-shifting gearbox with 500 per cent bandwidth
Whether riding steeply uphill or fast downhill – with the robust 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur, young riders can change gears precisely, smoothly and reliably, whatever the terrain. Thanks to the wide gear range of the 10–50 cassette, the right gear is always available in every situation, ensuring the fun never falls by the wayside.
Ergonomic cockpit for optimum control
The lightweight handlebars from VPACE, combined with the 60 mm stem from Reverse Components, ensure safe and controlled handling in every riding situation. Shifting is handled by a smooth-operating Sram GX trigger shifter, whilst braking is provided by the reliable Magura MT4 disc brakes. 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.
29er setup with lightweight VPACE SL wheels
With the VPACE 29er concept, we use large wheels across all model sizes. For example, a child who is 150 cm tall can already ride our Matz29 with 29-inch wheels. With other manufacturers, however, they would be on a 27.5-inch bike. Why does this make sense? Because large wheels roll more efficiently, offer a smoother ride and clear obstacles more easily. Combined with our exceptionally lightweight VPACE SL wheelsets featuring Duke Lucky Star Ultra rims (1,550 grams), young mountain bikers benefit from significantly better acceleration, greater efficiency and enhanced safety – whether on the trail, on tours or in races. If desired, they can be easily converted to tubeless.
Scope of application
The Matz29 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, a quick lap on your local trail or a fast XC race, the Matz29 is up to the task. This children’s bike is designed for a rider weight of up to 60 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.
