What's everyone's thoughts on the new rockrider 8.1: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-56 ... 93151.html

Good value for money?

Was looking to get the 2014 model but ran out of my size so now looking at this but know nothing about mountain biking so don't know how they compare.

Thanks in advance.

ROckshox air fork, full 10 speed Shimano - little to dislike at this price.

And considering the price, they look like very decent quality in the flesh.

Wot they said!

Add to that proven geometry (BTwin bikes always ride well and have a long history) and generally excellent Decathlon service and it's difficult to look past.

It's bikes like this that make me think about selling what I have and getting one! What more do you need for a blast in the trails? Good fork, frame, brakes, decent kit. The average rider just doesn't need 15mm that, tapered that, internal cables, 142x12 blah blah.
