B'Twin Bikes

B'Twin are a popular choice of bike in the UK, partly due to their widespread distribution by Decathlon, and partly due to the value they offer. Their bikes are divided into several slightly overlapping ranges, with Triban best known for road and gravel bikes, and Rockrider gaining a reputation for high performing MTBs to suit every budget. Elops largely consist of a range of city bikes, whereas Riverside focus on hybrids. All in all, B'Twin bikes are well worth checking out given the size of their ranges; there's a model to suit most budgets.

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.
