What are the weights of the Rockrider bikes?

omarm

Can someone tell me what the weights of the Rockrider bikes are on Decathlon are?
They seem to be missing this information

I've Googled and can find weights - but for older models
I'm sure the weight would be the same for the new ones - it just would be nice to have it confirmed on their website

Thanks

Which ones are you looking at?

Which flies contrary to most peoples experience, and will be almost totally store dependant!

When you are on the website, click on the bike you are interested and there is a spanner icon near the bottom of the page, click that and it gives you the detailed spec+weight. Since checking this I have now seen my bike on sale for £60 less, argh!

i've done this. on the current website, only the 5.2 has weights stated when u click on the spanner

5.1, 5.3, 6.0 don't have weights
didn't look at others

anyone know why the weights are missing?

i had my mind made up to go for the 5.1
but then i read really good reviews for the 5.2 (which is out of stock for my size anyway), it's only £50 more
5.3 i would love, but at this moment in time beyond my budget

Contact Decathlon, or bring some scales with you when you visit! Weights are probably missing because they are low end bikes, so most people buying them wont be that concernd about weight.

I have the 6.3, which is close enough to the spec of the 5.3 apart from the frame being the most significant difference (also only £290 right now, a steal!). 6.3 is 16kg, so remove at least 1.5kg for the extra frame and shock weight and you have a rough weight for the 5.3

And the fork, the XCR on the 5.3 is a nice step up. Also the 5.3 is 27 speed.

The 5.2 weighs 13.6kg

The 5.3 is about 14.5kg.

@supersonic, thanks for that
13.6kg sounds great
the previous years 5.2 is given as 13.8kg - http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-52 ... nformation
5.2 2012 is £30 more - is it a lot better than the previous??
i'm sure 200g won't make any difference to a beginner

either way, less than 14kg sounds awesome to me

I believe the Carrera Vulcan comes in at 13.4Kg (source MBUK group test) which is the nearest competitor.

Carrera Vulcan looks pretty good
but (i know some will shoot me down for saying this) the rockrider 'looks' better!
that's why i'd always go with that if nothing else was different
if it was far superior on the other hand... then i'd consider
