Expirience with the Merida MATTS 60

Ludwig Döhl The MATTS 60 bridges the gap between a youth bike and an adult bicycle. On the scale, the MATTS 60 with 14,14 kg looks good. Most Racebike in the price range until under 1000 Euro are heavier. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Racebike around under 1000 Euro that would suit you better. With the shifting components, Merida fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Merida MATTS 60 sizing runs small.
