Gravel Bike Microshift XLE 10-speed - GRVL 120

So far a very nice bike, I use it to go to work, 15km going to work 15km going back home, not a long distance, from Monday to Friday and everything works awesome. I love how light this bike is. I find it very comfortable for me. And it was not expensive, so there seems to be

a good price/quality relationship.

I was having a hard time looking for a gravel bike for a tall person and this XL was as large as some XXL bikes from different brands. I tested several others, but this one to me stood out as the best value overall, and definitely one of the best to ride regardless of the pric

e. Don't get me wrong, it's not the same as a brand name bike that costs 3 times more, but to me it is as good if not better than bikes costing 50-100% more. The tires keep pressure well (and I'm a big guy), the bike is so balanced that for the first time ever I learned to ride without holding the handlebars, naturally, and the bike is so fast through the dirt, as if it's gliding on air. i found the seat to be very comfortable, the micro shifters shift very well and positively, and the overall frame geometry is just right. My only negative is the braking is not very strong, but it's adequate and on par with the market in this price range. The only way it gets better is with hydraulic brakes ($$). The bike is also very light. I can't comment on long term longevity but the first impressions are highly positive.

Brakes feel cheap Overall decent

Great value for money.

Great bike on paper, but the price point really reflects the quality of certain components used. The bike rides and feels great, but passed the 500km mark, you will likely need to replace the wheels, tires, spokes and brake calipers. I rode this bike for a few months, mostl

y on pavement, as a commuter. As much as I enjoyed riding the bike, I've had multiple flat tires, broken spokes and brake failures, which could all be attributed to cheap components and fabrication defects. Aftersales service were also less than helpful, and pretty much accused me of sabotaging the bike to get replacement parts. I will have ended up putting another 700-800$ in replacement parts and labor on the bike just to make is useable again for next season, without mentioning the time sink this represents. It's still cheaper than buying a new bike, but I regret going with this one in the first place, especially considering the 1k$ price tag. You're better off spending the 500-1000$ right from the start to get a brand name and more reliable bike and save the headache. I do not recommend this bike, and I will not be buying sports equipment from Decathlon again.

the brakes not as firm as i’d thought but the biggest problem is the gear shifting on the low gears. seems like the chain gets stuck between gears and the chain noise is there

J adore ce vélo très polyvalent rien à dire de négatif .

Surprenant, nerveux et confortable, le cadre M semble peut-être plus petit que le cadre des autre RC. Une autre géométrie? Le velo est vraiment tres agréable, léger et incite a une conduite agressive. Les freins sont OK sans plus, le reste est bon ( fourche, Microshift, selle)

. Le meilleur vélo a ce prix
