Moritz26
Trail-optimised cockpit
The lightweight low-rise handlebars from VPACE, combined with the 35 mm stem from Reverse, ensure safe and controlled handling in every riding situation. Gear changes are made using a smooth-shifting Sram NX Trigger shifter, whilst braking is handled by the reliable Magura MT Trail Sport 4-piston disc brake with 180/160 mm brake discs. 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.
Smooth-shifting gearbox with a wide gear ratio range
Whether riding steeply uphill or speeding downhill – with the robust SRAM NX1 11-speed rear derailleur, young riders can change gears precisely, smoothly and reliably, whatever the terrain. Thanks to the wide gear range of the 10–42 cassette, the right gear is always available in every situation, ensuring the riding fun never falls by the wayside.
Lightweight aluminium frame with a 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 flat head angle (65°) and a short rear end, ensures agility and flow off-road, as well as maximum fun on the descents. The Moritz26 features a lightweight, low-maintenance single-pivot suspension system with a Flex Seatstay System. The latter increases comfort and traction on technical trails thanks to its flexible seatstays.
Thanks to the special ‘Kids Tuned’ suspension 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.
A child-friendly crank. Powerful and clever.
We have specifically tailored the lightweight VPACE SL children’s crankset to the anatomy of young cyclists with narrower hips. With a Q-factor of 150 mm, it allows for a natural leg position, resulting in greater efficiency when pedalling and noticeably better power transfer. Thanks to the 3-hole direct mount, changing the chainring is a matter of seconds. And because the crank length also has a major influence on power transfer and efficiency, we tailor this to the specific model size.
The right seat height at the touch of a button for greater safety and more fun on the slopes
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 featuring rocky sections, tight bends, steep drops and ledges.
High-performance kids’ suspension fork – Kids Tuned Suspension
The high-performance Manitou Junit Comp suspension fork offers maximum comfort and control off-road. Featuring 140 mm of travel, it is specially tuned to the lighter weight of young trail riders – Kids Tuned Suspension. This gives it a particularly responsive feel and delivers top performance on the trail.
Shock absorbers for maximum trail performance – Kids Tuned Suspension
The Manitou Mara shock, featuring 130 mm of travel, is perfectly tailored to the low body weight of young riders – Kids Tuned Suspension. It responds with exceptional sensitivity, offers efficient, precisely controlled damping and progressive suspension, and ensures outstanding traction, control and comfort on technical trails, fast descents and jumps.
The 29er principle combined with lightweight wheels
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 our Moritz26 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 our 1,500-gram VPACE SL wheels featuring Leeze rims, young mountain bikers benefit from significantly better acceleration, greater efficiency and improved safety – whether on the trail, on tours or in races. They can be easily converted to tubeless on request.
Scope of application
The Moritz26 is a Category 4 mountain bike and is therefore ideally suited to rough trails, unpaved paths and technically challenging terrain. Jumps and drops of up to 100 cm are no problem, provided you have the right riding technique. The Moritz26 children’s full-suspension bike has been designed for a maximum rider weight of 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.
