Rockrider ST100 - Expert Review

by Wonderson Web 16 Nov 2024

The Rockrider ST100 mountain bike from Decathlon, crafted by a devoted team of mountain biking enthusiasts at B'Twin Village in Lille, France, reflects their unwavering dedication.

Embark on a comprehensive journey aboard this exceptional mountain bike to determine its value for money.

Frame and Suspension

Designed to accommodate riders of various heights, the ST100 is offered in multiple sizes, including S, M, L, and XL, suitable for individuals ranging from 1.55m to 2.00m.

The CGF frame, designed for both men and women, is meticulously crafted with a distinctive slope on the top tube and is available in an extensive range of sizes. This lightweight, comfortable, and versatile frame is built with attention to detail.

The frame is designed for easy mounting, with a Comfort Geometry Frame (CGF) that maintains a straight back and shortened rear bases for increased agility in turns. The Suntour XCT 80mm front suspension facilitates overcoming obstacles on slightly uneven trails, providing reliability and ease of maintenance.

The ST100 is a semi-stiff mountain bike, ideal for beginners, with no rear suspension, resulting in a lighter weight and less energy expenditure on flat terrain.

Drivetrain and handlebar

The drivetrain features a 3x7 speed chainwheel system, offering 21 speeds in total, controlled by Microshift thumb shifters with a speed indicator.

Handlebar, stem, and grips are designed for accessibility and comfort, featuring an aluminum stem with a 10° angle, a 620mm wide steel handlebar for stability, and "soft touch" material grips for a secure and comfortable feel.

Saddle and brakes

The saddle is welded to prevent movement and incorporates an exclusive wider Ergofit saddle with a hammock shape for added comfort. The V-brakes with pads provide effective braking, and the 27.5-inch wheels with Hartex 27.5 x 2.1 tyres are optimized for dry terrain.

Quick release for easy wheel removal

The bike includes platform pedals for added lightness and safety. A quick-release system facilitates front wheel attachment/removal, and a secure nut at the back helps prevent theft. For transport, a bike rack is recommended to avoid dirtying your car.

Our Conclusion

Available at Rs 17,999 (as of January 11, 2024), the Rockrider ST 100 stands out as an impressive bicycle equipped with a multitude of features.
