Btwin Cycles – Price & Reviews of Models in India

Decathlon is slowly becoming the go-to destination for all sports enthusiasts in India (at least in the cities where we do have Decathlon stores). They also display, guide and sell their own bicycle brand called the Btwin Cycles.

As I started to write this blog post, I realized I visit the Decathlon store at least twice a month. Do keep in mind they also host a lot of events regularly. So I don’t visit the store just to buy the products but to participate/view the events as well.

 

 

The stores are fun to visit (Especially if you have kids). If you have yet not visited them yet, do plan your visit soon. This is not like your regular sports store. Decathlons (I can vouch for Banglore) are so big that you can actually try out their bicycle inside the store. 😀

 

The video below will help you visualize how an average Decathlon store looks like and how is the shopping experience of the customers.

 

 

 

As good as their store, collection, service and staff is, I equally dislike their website. It is not at all user-friendly. The menu options are too confusing (especially the cycling sub-section). Hence I decided to write a blog post to list down all bicycles that Decathlon offers and their prices in India.

 

As stated earlier, Decathlon sells bicycles under the brand name Btwin Cycles. I know a lot of people who write/pronounce the name as “Between Cycle” 😀

Btwin as a bicycle brand has quickly made its name in India for quality bikes at affordable cost. Their budget bicycles are very popular. However, people still prefer Treks & Cannondales over Btwin in the premium bicycle segment.

 

p.s. – I try to keep the prices updated. However, do use the link provided to check the latest price on the official site. Do let me know in the comments if you find any discripencies.

 

Btwin MTBs:

Btwin mountain bikes are called as the “RockRider”. There are multiple models available for the RockRider. The prices start from as low as Rs. 14,000 and go as high as Rs. 70,000.

 

Btwin Naming Convention:

Btwin follows a nice name convention. In most scenarios, a higher number will denote a better bicycle. E.g The RockRider 200 will be a better bicycle compared to the RockRider 100 and so on (And hence more expensive as well).

This is not only true for the RockRider series but for “most” other products as well. However, do note, there are exceptions to this rule and use it just as a rough guideline.

If you are just starting out and used to riding the road bikes, you can opt for the flat bar and then either upgrade your bike or just change the handle, once you are more comfortable.
