Rockrider st 900s is the bike working good after this ride?
Comment from : @IvanOersi

why does no one talk about loving bombing down trails so getting a bike that pedals to the top as easy as possible?bri want pedalling efficiency so i'm more encouraged to ride up so i can ride down

"If you've got the money for carbon, go for it"brexcept if you're a beginner and might experience some learning crashes, because if you deeply scratch or crack your carbon frame, you'll just have to chuck it in the bin

Comment from : @Brogdishjocke

I’d rather buy a voodoo from Halfords rather than decathlon bikes The quality isn’t there at decathlon
Comment from : @matildakelly2222

This is not a guide to buy a mtb but a promotion vedio of a longer length kindly remove the false title and paste a big decathlon logo on your vedio

Comment from : @alfa_yt_g

okay but why are they at the decathlon i shop at which just surprises me
Comment from : @luna_earth1

I think this video has missed out on the mid range hardtail categorybrYou can get some great deals in the salesbrRagley Marley 20 £700brWhyte 801 £630brVitus Sentier £665brKona Mahuna £660brAll of these would be a better investment for beginners than the budget full sus bikes shown
Comment from : @peterblunsden1256

Good full suspension bike starts around 1200€
Comment from : @Emickomoto99

me whit 26 weels and all coil
Comment from : @Lucosullagiant

I hate livinh in dk sometimes The cheoest hardtail in dk is around the 600 and full suspension start at 3000
Comment from : @davidolesen9058

I have the 600 quid rockrider and it's been over a year now for full suspension amateur based its been a great comfortable bike i love it i can't afford to go over 1k-etc so for now it's been an absolute beast for trails its helped amazingly to build confidence to building up to jumps its gone really well

Comment from : @ashtronite895

Has anyone realized, that the forks on the XC bike at 2:00 are mounted the wrong way around? So much about purchasing a bike at Decathlon 😄😂
Comment from : @samuelwyss8851

200 bucks full suspension 29er at Walmart😉
Comment from : @allans7281

Are chromoly frames a thing?
Comment from : @anthonysmalawipredators8794

Damn good video! Thank you so much
Comment from : @Stranger_Strange_Land

not too heavy ?
Comment from : @Pr1nc3ssf10na

i want to sell one of my road bikes and get into mountain biking but I'm still stuck between a hard tail or full suspension, mostly want to start with trail riding and single track i like the option of having the full suspension but i probably wouldnt use it to its potential
Comment from : @park9912

The answer is:with money
Comment from : @krisimihaylov6806

I wish the full range of rockrider bikes were in the us
Comment from : @warthundershorts6649

Great video! What's the frame size of the ST 900 you ride in the forest and how tall are you? I am looking at minute 15:32 Thanks
Comment from : @arminpurkrabek5313

great video, so many choices, can't go wrong really
Comment from : @MoOutdoorsandReviews

😎I'm glad you choose BTwin bikes for example ST530s that's the dream bike for me
Comment from : @otulight

Good full suspension bikes start at 600£ right definitely true (totally not decathlon trying to push their cheaper bikes 💀)
Comment from : @mr_man1236

How did you jump from £300 to £600 I was waiting for like £400 maybe £450 lol
Comment from : @patrickbaitmen9290

i found an abandoned bike and was just thinking of adding some modifications Disk plates definitely been on my mind
Comment from : @ayeejiff9847

Is the padding in your pants in back or front?
Comment from : @Hanmieson

Huge thank you to decathlon for leaving their dumpsters open
Comment from : @johnramirez758

Brilliant video👌
Comment from : @ClubmanGT1971

decathlon is an awesome company and have mindblowing price-to-quality ratiosbrbri get bike components from them and i've not had a problem yet, bought everything from chain catchers and cables to tools from them and they've yet to let me down
Comment from : @daddyshrek2295

So decathlon in India is a lil more on the expensive side so my second ever mountain bike I'm gonna get is the St 100 brHopefully I can customize the bar and turn it into disk brakes if possible :D
Comment from : @ghoul1sh-00

Bought my 1st mtb last month Ended up with a Specialized Rockhopper Expert I really like it and I'm already looking for another, higher end bike The Rockhopper will become my XC bike
Comment from : @musicjnky1982

Question in terms of derailleur choice: If im building my first enduro bike (brand new ns snabb from the 15-6’ ish design with 142x12 axle) and am going for an 1x11 system, wich one of those would be recommended? I allready got an xt m765 crankset, with a 34t nw ring that has 1mm offset so far For the correct chainline should it be more? The snabb has a 73mm bb shell, and my rear casette has to be hg compatible and the provisioned range is 11-46 on the back end If anybody could help me out with derailleur choice that would be nice Currently im debating myself between m7000(not in stock at most places anymore, m8000got a handful in stock at places and 5100 which i easily could buy Pros cons against the 5100 vs the other two?

Had a few decathlon btwin/rockrider bikes, all excellent nicely built solid bikes Best bang for buck for sure
Comment from : @plumb-bob8597

Start cheap, fall in love with riding and go from there
Comment from : @conrod4910

I'm sad you went from the 229 GBP st100 ( it's not 299!) to the 600 and 900 full suspension bikes Decathlon has some pretty good hardtails in the 500-1300 GBP range Like the st900 hardtail, the AM trail, XC100, xc120 and the carbon xc500 with GX eagle groupset and a rockshox reba fork
Comment from : @jeroenvanderveen3190

I see my bike in this video
Comment from : @flxt_mtb9632

Kudos for you guys for doing some Decathlon/Btwin/Rockrider stuff, they do make some good bang for the buck bikes I still have my RR91 from 2007 that now has had some tasty upgrades, like better wheels, brakes, shorter stem, longer handlebars , and a fork with more travel 1x drive set today it would be considered as a Downcountry bike My son rides it and he loves it I always say it's better to get one of these bikes than some cheap dodgy no brand entry level 2 wheeler!
Comment from : @leonline3424

My first bike was a Norco Storm a couple years ago, paid around $1000 AUD It was an amazing entry to the mountain bike scene I did a 1x conversion myself on it Already had an air fork and hydraulic disk brakes which I paired with some bigger rotors I'v since had a slight upgrade to a 2021 Norco Fluid full squish trail bike and love that thing
Comment from : @mattyosborne1453

What typeof bike do you need would be a good beginner vid, alsoin conjunction with GCN so many buy a mtb or FS and only ride on road, or buy a hybrid and think they can hit the trails on itbrMost shops imo sell people what they think the person wants to keep them sweet and make sure they buy, rather than advise them what they NEED and risk loosing a sale understandable as they are a business but not helpful for newbie riders
Comment from : @rupedog

This is a great vid for anyone thinking of buying their first mtbor even 2nd, 3rd for many!
Comment from : @rupedog

Lightness/weight is a much mis-used sales or decision factor tbh brIn cheaper bikes, light usually means weak/not robust
Comment from : @rupedog

Purchase price isn't the only consideration Higher level bikes with more kit does usually mean more maintenance though hydraulic brake bleeds, suspension servicing, dropper servicing, wearing parts like drivetrains cost more to replace
Comment from : @rupedog

Riding review @ 11:30
Comment from : @rupedog

Get a saddle fit, or use WTB's fit right calculator brFatter saddle does not mean more comfort it's all about ur sit bones and thigh gap
Comment from : @rupedog

Wheels: Light, Strong, Cheap you can only choose 2
Comment from : @rupedog

I’ve got the st150 in grey
Comment from : @James-pd7km

For anyone looking to buy the 540s, i can confirm that it is not a decathlon fork, it is actually just a rebranded suntour xcr32 coil fork, very good for people over 65ish kg but after 2 years or so it will start developing problems
Comment from : @Eriestdoor

AYY THAT 540S IS MY BIKE
Comment from : @Eriestdoor

finally rockrider is getting the recognition they deserve
Comment from : @Eriestdoor

Got myself my first "proper" mountain bike last week, after having road bikes a few years ago and old mountain bikes when i was in my teens! Went for an "ideal traxer", which hasfox 32 forks, full shimano xt drive train and hydraulic disks front and rear! absolutely steal at just over 1k!
Comment from : @bambamty

Would you make a movie about hardteils from marin 2021? :-)
Comment from : @lukigry3407

Well i thought the first tipp would be like go to a bike shop… Quite a shame for gmbn
Comment from : @thomasgottschalk6462

Kinda wanna see them review the XC and AM range! I ordered a XC100S full suspension XC bike and I'm excited, SRAM NX 1×12, SRAM Level T 180mm front 160mm back, Manitou front and rear suspension I'm excited for it
Comment from : @nvire5202

Tip #1 don't buy your mountain bike from decathlon Don't get me wrong decathlon is an amazing retailer and their products are amongst the best when it comes to price-performance ratio But in all honesty, you'll be better off buying a good used mountain bike from a known MTB manufacturer than a cheap brand new one from decathlon Just my two cents
Comment from : @trkg7356

: )
Comment from : @Bacciagalupe

Hold up Aluminum can be repaired easier than carbon? That’s a big fat WRONG homie! You crack an aluminum frame, you put it on a wall!
Comment from : @shwndh

And if you have problems with a Decathlon bike they provide a no nonsense guarantee and replace parts quickly with no hassle
Comment from : @eaglesbasketball5231

First bike??? Always always always go with a hardtail Hone your skills on it, it’ll help you so much more when/if you upgrade to full sus
Comment from : @1978jabbo

Rockriders and voodoos aren't snazzy but man they work The base dual sus voodoo my mate owns absolutely shreds better than I shred my orange alpine six thats like 4 times the cost
Comment from : @hiigara2085

So Nice to see these bikes covered, great value for your buck
Comment from : @viktorvandeneede2661

Makes me feel better about spending $639 or 475 pounds on my first hard tail and in love it will upgrade to another bike in the near future but I'll always keep the bike because it was my first and its always good to have a spare bike
Comment from : @Wheel_tuff

huge thank you to decathlon for leaving their dumpsters open judging by what's thrown in the dumpster at decathlon i would suggest to avoid cheap bikes with cup and cone hubs if you can't because you are poor like me at least check the hubs because i've found brand new wheels with defective cups and cones

Will you do another vitus video?
Comment from : @grandadgobjdhdjxjd7733

I would suggest avoiding decathlon, been waiting for a replacement part for months, their bikes have specific parts only they seem to have Have had to mod my fork and shock to be "locked" open as the lockout stopped working and the shocks default is locked closed meaning no suspension
Comment from : @zackeryeh
