Our new development for the upcoming XC World Cup overall winners! The sportiest and lightest children's mountain bike on the 29er principle from VPACE, for kids from approx. 1.30 m (possibly 2-3 cm below this height).

The Carbon racing machine

MatzC is the super-fit brother of Matz and with its carbon frame the new hero on the starting line. If full throttle is all you know and your goal is to win the World Cup overall in 2040, Matz Carbon is your new best friend. The specially developed carbon frame is super-light and converts every ounce of energy into propulsion. The large 29er wheels give the bike stability on downhills and lots of grip on the steepest uphills. As with the original Matz, the geometry is modern and sporty, but the equipment is even lighter and optimised for racers. Matz Carbon is the ultimate race bike for kids.

The Racer´s brake

The Magura MT8 Pro, featuring a 1-finger HC aluminum brake lever and 160 mm rotors, delivers maximum control and braking power. Perfect for precise and modulated braking with minimal effort – ideal for demanding trails and fast descents. Plus, the polished MT8 calipers look absolutely pro.

Performance Suspension Fork for Young Riders

The VPACE SL suspension fork with 80 mm travel and carbon bridge combines light weight, responsive performance and high stiffness. Perfect for precise handling and efficient power transfer. With a lockout on the crown, it's also ideal for cross-country riding and fast sprints.

Narrow Crank for Narrow Hips

The lightweight VPACE SL kids’ crank with 150mm Q-factor is specially designed for young riders. It ensures optimal ergonomics and efficient power transmission - perfect for kids. The 3-hole direct mount standard makes changing chainrings a breeze.

Shift like the Pros

The SRAM NX 11-speed drivetrain delivers precise and reliable shifting on any terrain. Robust, durable and perfect for those who demand performance and quality.

With the lightweight GX cassette for the XD freehub, a gear range of 420% is possible.

UDH Standard on Board

The UDH derailleur hanger ensures precise shifting and protects the derailleur from damage. Universal compatibility and easy replacement - perfect for worry-free riding on any trail.

VPACE SL Wheels with DUKE Rims

The Lucky Star Ultra rims in our specially designed VPACE SL wheels offer high stability, low weight and outstanding performance with an internal width of 23.5 mm. They offer a light rotating mass and the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort - easily converted to tubeless if required.

What Matz Carbon can do

What we wanted to do better with Matz compared to other frames on the market:

A shorter rear triangle makes the frame very agile and weight transfer to the rear wheel becomes child's play.
The steeper seat angle in combination with the right crank length makes ergonomic pedaling possible.
The shortened top tube and head tube enable make for a fun-handling bike - just as it should be for children.
Elegant and well-dimensioned tubing reduces weight - a good basis for a lightweight kids’ bike.

From the outset, the frame is designed with child-friendly components in mind so as to form a sensible unit between both:

Front derailleurs are superfluous and complicate the shifting process. Therefore, single drive with the widest possible range is what we went for
The frame was developed for disc brakes - disc only

The 29er principle

Kids who are put on 20 inch bikes by other manufacturers start out on 24 inch bikes with us and benefit especially from the smoothness and riding stability. Our bikes are more or less a 29er based on 20 - 29 inch wheels. Thanks to the larger wheels, obstacles are better negotiated and the young athlete gains from more riding confidence and also an increase in speed. What's more, it simply looks damn good - just like the big ones!

Range of use

The Matz Carbon children's mountain bike corresponds to a category 3 mountain bike. Bikes in this category can also be used on rough trails, in rough terrain and on difficult routes that require good riding technique. Jumps and drops can occur here up to a maximum height of 61cm. The Matz Carbon 26 children's bike is designed for a rider weight of max. 50kg.

UD-Carbon Finish on Matz Carbon carbon frames

The Matz Carbon carbon frames are produced with UD carbon fibres (unidirectional), which has no visible carbon structure like 3K carbon (honeycomb structure). To give a more technical look to the frame and also to save some weight again, we decided against a black colour top coat - because we love it! As each frame is laminated by hand and is unique, there may be small irregularities in the surface under the clear lacquer. This is definitely not a production defect or a weakening of the material.
