I bought one of these and it's bloody brilliant.

...and while riding it in that 'new bike, new bike' kind of way, I realised that I was riding the same trails that I rode 30 years ago, on the same 'XC as quick as you can' kind of bike.
It's the Circle, the Circle of Life....
Seriously, a cracking bit of no nonsense, get on with it quick bike.
i think the concept of "diameter" needs explaining to the graphics person
Its a 29'er 🙂
Is that a 29" if it measures 27.5" across where it's shown?

Imagine two lines drawn upwards at 90 degrees to the ends of the arrows. I think they'd both align perfectly with the widest point of the rim.
Try not to be such a smart arse next time.
It's 27.5, it better bloody had be because that's what size tubes I've bought!
Davidt.. so you are saying a 650b rim has a 27.5 inch diameter? Measured one recently?
Nice of them to supply some extra cable outer.

i think we found the graphics person for Decathlon!
i'd prefer accuracy to imagination when it comes to engineering, especially wheels
whip round for some crayons and a geometry book for David?
Poor valve/logo work there.
Nobbers!
It's blue and pink, and it's got bigger wheels than my last mountain bike.

was i wrong 😉 ?
yes, try drawing your imaginary lines and they miss the rim completetly unless you've got a shaky hand or poor eye sight
Think it looks good OP!

Tubes, eh?
was I wrong
Er, yes.....
It's got a front derailleur and theres no dropper post.. 😀
Does the huge spoke reflector on the front wheel make up for not having one on the back?
I keep debating buying that exact bike, looks great value and may actually work for the kind of riding I do. Cracking review, thanks!
How much was it? as it's out of stock now with no price.
It was £950, I think in a bit of a sale.
