Matz29L Youth Mountain Bike

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 more technically demanding 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.

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 riding fun never falls by the wayside. 

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 riding a 27.5-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 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 improved safety – whether on the trail, on tours or in races. They can be easily converted to tubeless on request.
