Merida

Adult riders know all too well that having the right equipment is essential to enjoying riding - so why do people accept low-quality, heavy and unreliable kits for their kids? The MATTS J20 delivers the same quality ride as our adult bikes. It uses the same advanced aluminium frame technology and high-quality, big-brand equipment such as the smooth-shifting Shimano drivetrain and Suntour fork with custom-tuned spring. Suits heights from approx. 109-129 cm tall.

Merida's MATTS J range is designed for the heroes of tomorrow, which is why we put all the know-how gained from years of making adult bikes into lightweight, high-quality machines for kids to enjoy. High-quality components chosen specifically for the needs of children are married to our aluminium frames, which are created with the same meticulous attention to detail and finish quality as the rest of our bikes. That's the only way to guarantee that young riders get the same enjoyment of cycling, safe in the knowledge that their bike will never let them down. Whatever your age, ability level or size, we have the perfect first MERIDA ready for you. 

The Merida Big.Trail 300 Hardtail Trail Bike is a highly capable mountain bike for anyone looking to tackle the trails or head out on an off-road adventure. You’ll have no trouble tackling the bumps with 140mm travel provided by the SR Suntour XCR34 fork and grippy 29 inch Kenda Regolith tyres. Put the power down with a Shimano CUES 1x9 drivetrain, and come to a stop in all conditions with reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. The Merida Comp dropper post will help you tackle any technical descents.

Experience effortless urban rides with the Merida eSpresso 400 S EQ 504Wh! This electric-hybrid bike offers high-quality components at an unbeatable price and is optimised for everyday use, yet versatile enough for those weekend getaways. Out of the box, you get integrated lights, a kickstand, a rear pannier rack, mudguards, 50mm Continental Ride Cruiser tyres with reflective wheel strips and even an added rear wheel lock. The durable aluminium frame houses a 504Wh Shimano battery for powerful ride time, while the 60Nm Shimano E6100 is whisper-quiet and offers a natural feel. The 9-speed Shimano drivetrain and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes make for a smooth, safe ride - so if you're looking for a functional and comfortable urban bike, the eSpresso 400 S EQ 504Wh is for you!

A dream adventure gravel bike at a very sensible price. We pair our fully-featured aluminium frame and carbon fork with Shimano’s 12-speed GRX drivetrain to give you everything you need, without breaking the bank.

• Aluminium frame with dropped chainstay for 700×45 mm clearance
• Multiple mounting points for cages, bags and fenders
• WIRE PORT internal cable routing for clean looks and scuff free bag fitting
• Carbon fork with cargo mounting points and routing for dynamo hub
• Relaxed head angle and MTB-style geometry for off-road stability
• Shimano GRX 1×12-speed wide range gravel groupset

Dreaming of big biking adventures doesn’t mean you don’t value the sensible. The SILEX 700 uses our incredible value aluminium frame plus a carbon fork to deliver adventure-ready performance at a wallet-friendly price. With a single-ring 12-speed Shimano GRX drivetrain, it also offers precise, wide-range shifting and powerful braking. Combined with our proven, mountain bike-inspired geometry and bump-taming 45 mm Maxxis tubeless-ready tyres, it’s as happy on a backcountry adventure as it is doing the day-to-day grind.

There’s a SILEX to suit every budget but all of them share the multiple mounting points, fender racks and other features that lend themselves so well to this drop-bar do-everything machine. We’ve added our sleek WIRE PORT cable routing for improved looks – and fewer cables to catch on with a handlebar bag – and the carbon fibre fork used on all models now has more cargo mounts plus internal routing for a dynamo hub. With the ability to use 1x or 2x drivetrains, you can pick your gearing to suit the task at hand or your own personal preference, opening up a world of opportunity for you and your SILEX.

The Merida Silex 200 Gravel Bike is the entry-level all-road and gravel bike of the Silex range and comes ready for back lane adventures, gravel roads, and forest trails. While the Silex 200 is the entry-level bike of the range, it is anything but basic! With the same lightweight aluminium frame as more expensive models, this bike comes with all the fixing points for luggage, water bottles, fenders, and rear racks meaning it is ready for whatever adventure you want to throw at it. The Carbon CF2 fork increases ride comfort and precision in your steering no matter the terrain, while the wide 2 x 9, 11-32T gear range of the Shimano Sora gearset is perfect for both faster flat sections and long climbs. The mechanical disc brakes offer superior stopping power no matter the weather or terrain, and the Maxxis Rambler tyres offer great grip for offroad rides. All of this combines to make Merida's most versatile and comfortable road bike ever. Not only will it feel at home on roads and paths and on your daily commutes, but it can seamlessly transition to those weekend gravel grinds, bikepacking trips or forest trails. 

The Silex 200's geometry draws inspiration from modern mountain bikes to create a bike that is amazingly comfortable and incredibly nimble with a long top tube and head tube and a short stem. The Silex has confidence-inspiring handling in spades and due to its renown for comfort, not only is it a popular bike amongst the gravel crowd, but it also has a strong following from the comfort-focused road and commuting community. Aside from comfort and practicality, the Silex 200 offers amazing style with its sleek design, and internal cable routing leaving your cockpit uncluttered and clear. All of this combines to make a versatile bike that looks and feels amazing, but at an affordable price, making the Silex 200 the perfect entry-level all-road bike. 

The Merida Matts 6.5-V recreational mountain bike is designed for teens or younger riders who aren't quite after the full-size mountain bike. This entry-level bike is an excellent choice for a rider that just wants to get out and experience mountain biking and the outdoors on a versatile and reliable bike. The Matts 6.5-V comes with a quality Racelite 6061 lightweight alloy frame which is still very tough and durable. Merida has used additional heat treatment and double-butted wall thicknesses to produce this light and stiff frame. 

The Suntour M3010 suspension fork will handle some bumpy trails or rough footpaths comfortably. While the 21 speed Shimano groupset gives you trustworthy shifting with smooth and comfortable efficiency. The design and components of the Merida Matts 6.5-V make it an ideal bike for the youth or smaller adult riders who are after a 26” mountain bike with versatility and durability.
