What our team says

Fully designed and developed in Lille, France. This bike was designed with one thing in mind: Performance. We wanted your daily commutes to be easy and pleasant, whether on flat or slightly hilly roads. The quality and durability of the components make these bikes perfect for urban journeys.

Choosing your size

S: between 1.55 m and 1.64 m (5'1" and 5'4") M: between 1.65 m and 1.74 m (5'5" and 5'8") If you’re between sizes, the smaller size will be easier to handle, while the bigger size will be more stable.

Weight/performance

Weighing in at 14.4 kg (32 lbs) (size M), this bike offers exceptional performance for commuters. With a chest angle of around 60°, the riding position is a happy medium between performance and comfort. The exclusive, lightweight tire design contributes to the bike’s speed.

Stem length: S: 60 mm (2 1/3") M: 80 mm (3") L/XL: 100 mm (4")

Drivetrain.

A 1 x 9-speed indexed drivetrain reduces the weight so you can shift with just one hand. The increments between gears are equivalent to a triple chainring drivetrain so you can easily handle hills. - Microshift SL760 trigger shifters. - Microshift H100 11/36 9-speed cassette - Single chainring: 36 teeth.- KMC Z9 EPT chain with quick release and rustproof treatment. - Rear derailleur: Microshift RD M46-L.

Wheels

The double-walled aluminum rims provide good performance and withstand impacts. Wheel diameter: 28", inner rim width 19 mm (3/4") Screw-on mounting system limits opportunistic theft - 32-spoke front and rear wheels

Tires

The exclusive tread design of these long-distance city tires offers both speed and traction on dry and wet roads. Skinwall wire bead tires for less weight. The nylon “bead to bead” puncture-resistant tread and an additional rubber band effectively protect against flat tires and pinch flats. Tire dimensions: 700 x 38c Weight: 580 g (20 oz.).

Saddle/seat post

Btwin 500 Sport Foam Saddle guarantees a comfortable ride. Aluminum seat post, graduated for easy adjustment. Seat post height: 350 mm (14"). Collar dimensions: 32 mm (1 1/4"). Seat post diameter: 27.2 mm (1"). Screw-on seat post limits the risk of opportunist theft.

Monoblock city pedals with metal spindle. Wide pedal designed for comfort and grip. 170 mm (6 2/3") aluminum cranks. 119 mm (4 2/6") integrated bottom bracket. Light, discreet chain guard protects your clothing.

Lighting

The powerful hub dynamo light allows for improved visibility and safety in any situation. Shimano Nexus Hub Dynamo (6 volts, 3 watts). 30 Lux Axa Blueline front light that lets you see 30 m [98'] ahead and be seen from 3000 m [9850'] (in-house test) Axa Blueline rear light that lets you be seen from 600 m [1970'] and 220° The capacitor means that the rear light will stay on for 4 minutes when stationary.

Pannier rack/fender

The bike is equipped with a pannier rack and fender designed exclusively for this range of bikes so you can carry your belongings and stay clean and dry in any situation. The pannier rack can carry up to 27 kg (60 lbs), including a child seat. The 12 mm (1/2") diameter tubes make it compatible with the entire Elops baggage range. Fenders with a screw-on double stay for maximum stability and solidity.

Stand

The aluminum rear stand can take loads of 35 kg (77 lbs) and is stable when loaded with pannier bags. The rear stand doesn’t touch the cranks if you push the bike forward or backward when stopping.

Michel

: More than 1 year

I've had this bike for a year now and I'm thoroughly impressed. I needed a bike to use around the city for daily commutes which range from 10 to 45 minutes. I took this one over the cheaper model since it had the lights that power on while you pedal and the water guards on the

tires. I also had a basket added which has been key since I can transport stuff and not have a backpack on while riding. So far it's been amazing, exactly what I needed. I brought it in for Decathlon's free one year tune up and had no issues to speak of. It is not the fastest bike, a speed bike would be better if you are planning to do long rides or want a bike for racing or more competitive cycling, this is really a city bike which is between a speed bike and mountain bike, fast enough but can handle more bumps and compared to others that I was looking at, it was a great deal (the price has risen since I bought it but still a great deal).

Vélo parfait pour mon utilisation !
Emilie

Je n'ai plus de voiture et je vis à 25km d'une grande ville. Je voulais un vélo confortable et assez rapide pour rouler longtemps sur goudron, mais qui puisse aussi supporter les chemins de terre. Pas vraiment un VTT, trop penchée en avant, pas vraiment un vélo de ville, trop

rigide pour les chemins. J'ai été parfaitement conseillée, et ce vélo me ravit depuis mon achat !

Après plus de 2 ans d'utilisation
Magali

: More than 2 years

Après plus de 2 ans d'utilisation, je ne peux que mettre 5 étoiles. C'est un super vélo qui m'accompagne au travail comme en balade. Je n'ai eu aucun problème sur sa structure, les pédaliers, la chaine ou l'éclairage en plus de 2 ans. avec plus de 2 000 km par an, j'ai déjà ch

angé les pneus, les chambres à air (pour des anti crevaison de décath) et le système de freinage sans complexité particulière ni usure prématurée. si vous hésitez, foncez les yeux fermés !

qualité moyenne pour le prix
gaël

: More than 2 years

: fr_FR

J'utilise ce velo tous les jours pour aller au travail (2x5km uniquement sur route lisse). Les équipements sont assez fragiles, la chaine et la cassette ont commencé à fatiguer au bout d'un an d'utilisation, l’éclairage arrière vient de tomber en panne, le dérailleur et les f

reins se déréglent assez rapidement, c'est dommage car sinon c'est un bon velo, leger avec des gardes boues et un porte bagage, les pneus sont très bien, je pense qu'acheter la gamme supérieure peut valoir la peine si l'on veut utiliser son vélo quotidiennement.
