Kudos to Decathlon for turning that out. OK, so it's utter pish, but it's still a bike. Some of those others were really scary BSOs!

I was going to add, he was way over padded up for that bit, although fun to watch.

Was a fair conclusion.

Hardly extreme trails.

It was funny watching him pedalling like a demented steam train, did he do the whole lot in the granny ring?

what a load of crap that was "perfect for just riding round the local park" why all the pads, helmets and hype

To be fair to him having seen a bso part ways with its fork over a speedbump a couple of months back I'd have been fully padded before touching some of those bikes

quite a few have missed the point.he was testing bikes not aimed at off road use & so much so they specify this in there paperwork they may look like off road pish the true fact is there just crap.

he used all the armour as anything could of happened a brake jamming in the tyre or anything so yes it was overkill but he is actually a very good rider.

he was proving a point more than anything & like he said the winner was a surprise but still not designed for our sort of use.

the most interesting bit is the sheer sight of a bike on tv is posted up here sometimes several times with a gaul of you mostly clueless having a go...so wht if ben foggle cocked it on some bbc programme who cares.

I reckon they do test like that just to coverage on forums like this and it works every-time 🙂

id say that was a normal in depth mbuk wrecking crew bike test judging by some of the pish they write in their "reviews" 😉
