Decathlon is a brand that I absolutely love because they are so affordable. I have previously bought a couple of their products and they are all great quality. The Rockrider St30 is no exception.
The decathlon rockrider st30 cycle under 10,000 is a great option for those looking to get into cycling without spending too much. It's the perfect starter bike for those who have never cycled before, or even those that have been riding for years but want something a bit more comfortable than an old-fashioned fixed gear bike.
I also like that there are plenty of gears, which is important for someone starting out who may not be used to cycling with gears yet. The brakes are also good quality and work well when needed.
Overall this is a great buy for someone looking to get into cycling, especially if you're not sure about your first purchase - you won't regret buying this!
Frame: high tensile steel
Gears: 1x7 Microshift make gears with handle grip shifter
I also like that there are plenty of gears, which is important for someone starting out who may not be used to cycling with gears yet. The gears will also help you pedal faster, which means you'll be able to get to work faster than someone who doesn't have them on their bike.
Brakes: Front and back: V-brakes
The brakes are also good quality and work well when needed.
Fork: rigid steel fork for better control
Rim: 26 inch aluminium rims, with quick release option for the front tyres
wheelset which helps with stability and makes it easier to pedal with your feet as well as make turns when riding on uneven terrain.
Tyres: 2.1 inch MTB tyres
The bike comes with 2 x 2 1/2 inch MTB tyres which are quite heavy duty, but they seem to be holding up well, although we haven't had any bad weather yet so we can't comment on how well they perform in wet conditions or if they will last as long as other cheaper brands we have owned in the past!
Seat post: height adjust quick release
This bike also comes with an adjustable seat post, so you can adjust the height of your seat so that you're comfortable when riding for longer periods of time.
Overall this is a great buy for someone looking to get into cycling, especially if you're not sure about your first purchase - you won't regret buying this!
