Its certain its a good bike, just at a price I dont like.
I have a 1.5k ebike with torque sensor, good tires, 2years warranty, built in lights, and made in the EU. Cernainly, it only has a 8 speed dérailleur and no gps/bluetooth, and obv no type-c, but I dont think thats worth 1.5k more. Plus, my bike has a 504wh battery, so longer motor assisted-rides.

I’m really glad to hear that, actually! I didn’t look long enough to see what else justifies the cost, but you’d be surprised how some components can really bring up the price. When I was looking for a road/gravel bike, I came across some with SRAM 1x systems that had cassettes that cost $400+. LOL Yeah, if it’s more than $40, it’s too much for me. 😂
Yeah, the sram/shimano duopoly is crazy. Fortunately theres chinese manufactures like ltwoo that make products at reasonable price. What gravel/road bike did you buy at the end ?
I think one of the guys in our ride group has the RC120! Really good value from Decathlon on pretty much all their bikes.
I haven’t upgraded any of the components other than the saddle and tires. This bike is my “budget bike”, despite it being the one that I ride for hundreds of KM at a time. 😆
Yeah, decathlon has really good prices on bikes. I’ve bought 4 bikes from them so far.
Hundreds of kms, you say ? Jesus, im a novice. I normally only ride 70-80km. Hows the terrain where you live ?
Nice, but 3k ? Jesus
Wait until you see what the average price for a downhill mountain bike.(non-electric) is.
Ik, but is this a downhill mountain bike ? It isnt, its a city bike. 3k seems excessive. Plus it has such a small battery.
That might seem expensive, but just to add some context:
$3,000 seems like a great deal, TBH.

Decathlon RC520 Gravel. I got it late summer, but put 2000km on it (not my main bike) before it got too cold to keep it out.
Nice. I have an rc120, where I changed wheels and tires to 40mm ones. I’m now looking to upgrade the groupset :)
