Expirience with the Merida MATTS 7. 70

Ludwig Döhl The MATTS 7. 70 bridges the gap between a youth bike and an adult bicycle. The lively character invites you to throw the bike around with ease. The upright seating position gives the Merida MATTS 7. 70 a comfortable character. On the downhill, however, the MATTS 7. 70 is left in the dust by its competitors. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 899 Euro . With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Merida MATTS 7. 70 sizing runs small.
