Featured below are some bike ranges, each one containing various bikes released as part of a range by a manufacturer. Or you can search for cheap bikes.
B'Twin Bikes
B'Twin bikes are sold exclusively in the UK by Decathlon, which include the popular Rockrider, Elops, Riverside and Triban ranges. Their Rockrider rage comprises of hardtails and full suspension mountain bikes, together with a handful of e-MTBs. Elops are largely hybrids, city bikes and e-bikes for commuting. Riverside is their hybrid range, with a few folding bikes and e-bikes thrown in. Finally, the Triban range is made up of fast road bikes and all round gravel bikes, with prices ranging from around £300 to several throusands. All of these B'Twin bike ranges include a few kids models too.
Their popularity is predominantly down to two factors; these bikes are widely available in 47 Decathlon stores throughout the UK as well as online, and secondly, they offer very good value for money.
Elops Hybrid Bikes
The Elops series of bikes from Decathlon comprise of traditional city bikes and hybrids, with men's and ladies versions available for most models.
This range are designed for road use in the urban environment; ideal for casual cyclists and commuters.
The majority of these bicycles were originally badged as "B'Twin Bikes" prior to 2018, when a rebranding policy led to each type of bike receiving a new label. The Elops bike range also includes a handful of electric city bikes for those who'd like a helping hand when ascending hills.
Riverside Hybrid Bikes
Riverside Bikes are Decathlon's selection of versatile hybrid and e-bikes, with a bicycle for every budget.
If you're a casual cyclist after a new bike for riding on roads with the odd gentle off-road section, then a Riverside hybrid bike wouldn't be a bad choice; prices start at £200 and the impressive buying power of Decathlon enables them to provide very good value for money.
There are also a selection of electric hybrids in the range, for those who require a little assistance up the hills.
Rockrider Mountain Bikes
Rockrider are Decathlon's off-road offerings, comprising of a series of kids bikes and adult hardtails, full suspension steeds and even a handful of high end E-MTBs.
This brand was launched in 2018, when Decathlon decided to split their B'Twin bikes into different genres. In terms of prices, there's something for everyone, with adult's MTBs starting at just over £200 and rising up to high end lightweight race bikes at nearly the £4000 mark.
If you want to ride off-road, and would prefer to buy from Decathlon, then the Rockrider mountain bike range is for you.
Tilt Folding Bikes
Previously produced under the B'Twin banner, Tilt bikes are Decathlon's range of folding bikes and e-bikes, ranging from around the £200 mark for the basic model up to £1000 for the electric motor powered version.
Each member of the Tilt bikes family is designed to fold into a convenient shape for ease of transportation and storage.
Triban Bikes
The Triban series of Bikes were created in 2018, when Decathlon's B'Twin bikes were divided into different genres. At this point, road & gravel bikes were assigned the Triban moniker, offering both value for money and performance.
Prices for the Triban range start at £300, and increase up to the £1000 mark, resulting in this brand being suitable for beginners and keen road cyclists alike.
If you would like to start road cycling, or dabble in some light off-road riding with a gravel bike, then you won't go far wrong with a Triban bike.
Carrera Bikes
Carrera are predominantly known for their range of entry level bikes which are largely sold via retail giants Halfords. Carrera Bikes have a reputation for good value, and are aimed at those starting out in cycling, or "everyday riders" and "weekend adventurers" as they phrase it. They offer ranges for every age group and gender, from balance bikes and kids bikes for youngsters, through hybrids, road bikes and mountain bikes for adults, up to their most expensive models; Electric Bikes.
Given their widely available distribution by Halfords (every decent sized town has a store nearby), Carrera are an extremely popular choice amongst British riders. The huge buying power of Halfords enables the Carrera bikes to provide high specifications for each bike's relatively modest price tags. As a rough guide, kids bikes start at around £100, with adults ranging from £200-£1000 for regular bikes, and £1000-£2000 for e-bikes.
Carrera Crossfire Bikes
Carrera Crossfire are a range of alloy hybrid bikes with front suspension, featuring 7 or 8 Speed Tourney Groupsets, Triple Chainsets, Disc or V-Brakes and 700c wheels, for sale between £300 and £400. Essentially Carrera Crossfire bikes are short travel hybrid bikes which are designed for riding on roads, with the odd gentle off-road excursion on canal paths, bridleways and the like. They're a good all-rounder for newcomers to cycling, with enough suspension to take the edge off small bumps, but not suitable for big jumps or rough off-road riding. The large 700c wheels will be fast rolling, and the triple chainset will help get you up even the steepest of climbs. There are models with V Brakes and Disc in this range, and if your budget will stretch then I would recommend upgrading to the latter for the increased stopping power.
Carrera Mountain Bikes
Carrera are probably best known for their affordable range of men's and women's mountain bikes sold via Halfords. A Carrera mountain bike will typically cost between £300 and £600, and their selection largely comprises of hardtails with alloy frames, disc brakes and mid travel Suntour suspension forks. Popular models in their hardtail lineup include the Vengeance, Valour, Sulcata, Vulcan, Karkinos and Hellcat bikes. Carrera have also manufactured a handful of full suspension models, including the budget Detonate and slightly more expensive Titan and Titan X. Historically, Carrera manufactured 29er models, but in recent years they've focused on producing bikes with the smaller 27.5" wheel diameter.
Carrera Parva Bikes
Carrera Parva are a range of cheap alloy hybrid bikes, featuring 14 Speed Tourney drivetrain, V-Brakes and 27.5" wheels for sale at around the £300 mark. Given the relatively low price, the Parva are classified as an entry level bike, with rigid forks and a less expensive braking system comprising of V Brakes. There are men's and ladies options in this range, with the latter featuring female specific geometry and sizing. Each Carrera Parva Bike provides a double chainset with a 7 speed cassette, which when combined with the lack of suspension means that there is little in the way of maintenance, especially given that this bike is solely designed for road use. In short, the Parva's are a decent choice as either a commuting bike, or for a new bike for occasional use by the casual cyclist.
Carrera Subway Bikes
Carrera Subway Bikes are a popular range of entry level rigid hybrids made by Carrera, featuring alloy frames, 16 Speed Tourney Groupsets, Disc Brakes and 27.5" wheels on sale for around £330. The majority of Subway bikes sold are the well received adult hybrids, which are available in both genders and also a junior version. In recent years, Carrera have added an E-Bike to the Subway line up, priced at just over the £1000 mark. The early incarnations of the Subway series featured V-Brakes, but these have been superseded by Disc Brakes in recent years. Essentially what you are getting with a Carrera Subway bike is reliable urban cycling on a budget, with little maintenance required. The frame is alloy, so it won't rust, and the 8 speed components will be cheap to replace as and when they wear out. The relaxed geometry and flat handlebar make the Subways an ideal bike for occasional or inexperienced cyclists; they're a great range of bikes for those who wish to cycle a few road miles every so often.
Carrera Sulcata Mountain Bikes
Carrera Sulcata Bikes are a range of entry level alloy hardtail Mountain Bikes, featuring 10 or 11 Speed Shimano Deore Groupsets, either Suntour or RST Forks, Disc Brakes & 27.5" wheels, typically on sale between £400-£600. These bikes are aimed at newcomers to mountain biking, who want a bike which take some off-road punishment but also not cost the earth. The Sulcata frames are distinctive, with braces added to the crossbar / seat tube interface, and to increase strength, with further reinforcements near the headtube. Hence the lifetime frame guarantee - the Carrera Sulcata Bikes are built to last. As mentioned previously, the range currently feature mid travel suspension forks from Suntour or RST, usually offering 120mm of movement. For the money, the specifications are very impressive; well designed frame, branded forks, Deore drivetrain, 27.5" wheels and hydraulic disc brakes on an entry level bike - what's not to like? For the vast majority of riders venturing into mountain biking, a Sulcata would make a great starter bike.
Carrera Vengeance Mountain Bikes
Carrera Vengeance are a selection of 6061 alloy Mountain Bikes, featuring 8sp Shimano Altus Groupsets, 100mm Suntour XCM Forks, Disc Brakes & 27.5" wheels, for sale @ £300-£400, and £1100 for the E-Bike. The Carrera Vengeance range consists of the incredibly popular men's Vengeance, an entry level hardtail mountain bike, with a women's specific model also available. Carrera also have introduced a Junior 26" wheel model for younger riders, as well as a men's and women's e-bike to complete the series. These e-bikes appear very similar to the regular Vengeance models, but with a downtube mounted battery fitted where the bottle cage would be, with the motor located by the bottom bracket. All Vengeance models feature the same relaxed geometry with slack head angles to enable you to traverse across roots and rocks effectively. Apart from the aforementioned Junior model, the rest of the range utilise 27.5" (650b) wheels.
Carrera Vengeance E-Bikes
The Carrera Vengeance range has recently been expanded to include e-bikes, which follow suit with the rest of the line up in providing a 6061 alloy hardtail chassis and 27.5" wheels. Available in two flavours; men's or women's, these electric mountain bikes strongly resemble their regular human powered siblings, albeit with a battery, motor and handlebar controls, combined with a 20lb weight increase and an additional £700. So what do you get for your money? A 40 mile assisted range under typical riding conditions, with a 6 hour charge period. 4 different modes, with handlebar controls and display, complete with cadence sensor. Superior disc brakes, with a 20mm increase in rotor diameter. An upgraded and simplified drivetrain, with 2 x Shimano phased out in favour of a 1x SRAM system. Put simply, the Vengeance e-bike is a better version of the regular bike, with the peace of mind of a 2 year guarantee for the electrical components.
Carrera Karkinos Mens Mountain Bike
The Carrera Karkinos Mountain Bike is an entry level hardtail with an alloy frame, 100mm Suntour XCE suspension forks and a 16 speed drivetrain featuring Shimano Acera and Altus components, depending on the model chosen. The chainset supplied is a 36T/22T square taper, with crank lengths depending on the size of bike you decide on. Disc brakes are provided, albeit mechanical models rather than hydraulic, which help reduce your speed on this 27.5" wheeled mountain bike. Talking of wheels, these comprise of double walled alloy rims laced to black quick release hubs, with 2.1" tyres fitted as standard. As with most budget mountain bikes, the majority of the components are "own brand" in order to meet the £300 price tag. The handlebars are 760mm wide risers, giving you plenty of control over the front end. All in all, the Karkinos is a great starter hardtail mountain bike for those looking to start out in the sport; a quality alloy frame, forks which will take a bit of punishment, reliable Shimano drivetrain and disc brakes to scrub off that speed, all for around the £300 mark. There is also a women's Carrera Karkinos Mountain Bike available, with female specific geometry.
