Is the Decathalon Rockrider 8.1 any good?
I know Decathalon isn't that cool - but i'm not fussed about having a branded bike. This one is reduced from £474 to £399. It's got Shimano Deore front derailleur and Shimano LX rear derailleur. 9 speed. Manitou Axel Platinum 100mm suspension forks, 160mm Hayes HFX Nine disc brakes. Weight = 12.9 kg
I really don't have a clue to be honest - i want a good solid bike that can handle off-road and help me get my fitness back. At the minute i'm just going on what looks nice.
Answers:
Nothing wrong with this Decathlon (and the rest of their range of items). I lived in France for 8yrs and bought a full alu Rockrider (slightly higher spec than the one you refer to but some similarities. About £800 in 1998). Super bike! Still have it and as good as new. For the spec you mention, at the price and for your needs, I would not debate. Go for it, spend the time on the (off)road and have fun! cheers
I would advise you to be wary, because I don't know if Decathalon is going to last all that long as a company. All the stores in my area here in the U.S.A. (at least) are closing. If they aren't doing so good where you are, I don't think that you would want to end up owning an "orphan". BTW, over here it was spelled Decathlon.
I think the US correspondent is talking about a different Decathlon - the European brand doesn't have a prescence in the US as far as I'm aware.
I'm a relative beginner and no expert on mountain bikes. But Decathlon as a brand have a fantastic (and well-earned) reputation in continental Europe for basic but reliable bikes. I own two Decathlon bikes from when I lived abroad - a low-range hybrid and an expensive road bike. Both have been excellent purchases and made me figure out what I want next without spending a fortune. I doubt Decathlon would sell a *bad* bike.
But, if you do want good personal advice, either try a local bike shop - whose friendlyness varies wildly - or Evans Cycles who have a better UK prescence than Decathlon and can probably get you a more suited bike, though at a higher price.
Bottom line: if it is from Decathlon, is reduced to a price that seems good and looks like what you want, then yes I would buy it
