Bike is very good, I can’t see anything that gets close to this at this price point.

Also, Decathlon confirmed that when they do a 2021 version it will have better geometry and longer reach.

and a higher price no doubt .



p.s
can you tell me what settings your gopro is on ?

looks very immersive !

I really don't understand how they can just say "we refund you and you'll have to go through the process of ordering online again", surely they could have had a manager keeping your name on a waiting list and allocating an XL for you right when they get stock.
Growing up in Brittany (i.e. France, but I always prefer saying I'm Breton rather than French :p) I've known Decathlon for absolute ages and have bought a lot from them, always very pleased with Decathlon but this online ordering experience really got me to see them differently. Can't blame the shops and the staff there, they are great, but there definitively are logistics issues here, and COVID does not justify nor excuse these.
I did mention it and it was something they couldn’t do.The shop manager she was great they refunded me my tyre sealant which I put in which I thought was great of them

Maybe not actually:
Decathlon confirmed they are working on a full suspension Rockrider e-bike, which means a frame of their own, it's just taking time to develop. Don't know if that's what you are talking about Rob, but with a frame of their own, they probably could manage to stick around the same price, or even more attractive since they don't have to buy the frame to another company...

Why don't you just buy Rob's off him? Got Renthals on now!

Like the review Rob (y)
Trouble is they are so rare and tough to get your hands on, Robs has already gone up in price by 30 % like a classic Ferrari. ??.

Check out one of my previous posts where I put photos of me on the bike and measurements for just this question-there are loads anyway on the subject. I would deffo recommend an XL tbh.

You defo don't want medium. I am 5'9 plus change (depends who the audience is lol) and I would consider a large if I was taller.

I am a bit surprised to see ppl saying XL for 5'10 but then again I haven't seen a Large or XL.

Like Rob said in the vid, the cockpit is pretty small. I managed to match the measurements up to my existing Norco ride and also a mates Rocky Mountain (both were L), and they equated to XL in Stilus terms. It's spot on for me and my position preferences ?. Always a gamble when chucking 2700 at something fairly blind.

Right, I have sorted the bloody brakes and they are tremendous!. ?.
It's all to do with the pad distance in most cases (this was bothering me and I knew it could be air on mine totally).
Delved into some other forums and got this about needing to ADVANCE THE PADS/PISTONS AFTER TRANSIT. Its on a Sram/Avid site and is simple (takes about 30 mins for both and requires no tools-just a 1 mm spacer that I made from a cutting mat).
What a difference. Great bite point and adjustable lever is actually
Working.
Check out. www.servicearchive.sram.com/service
Or I have put a screenshot in the post of the instructions.
Good luck.

What a roller coaster - I also ordered one (XL) last week on 6th. Since then it's been showing as processed on the Decathlon website and the money showing as pending to be debited from my account, but a few days ago it stopped showing as pending and is now fully back in my account! But I've had no email to say the order is cancelled and the website still says it should be ready to collect on 21st! Since seeing Robs review I want it even more now!!!

Don’t worry this happened to me. Then just after being shipped it appeared on my credit card.

They seem to be out of stock at the moment. In the meantime how do I establish what size I need. I'm 6ft tall and 78kg. In Specialised Levo terms I believe i'm an S4.

Al
Check back through forum posts (all of them is a good idea). We have all contemplated this at some point and there are photos of actual bikes and riders for people to get an idea of size. I would say you are looking at an XL though.
