Great video, really appreciate the detail. Also loved the tour of Singapore in the background 😀

Excellent review, I've owned a Triban 520 which this bike replaces. It was excellent value. My bike had rim brakes, but it had excellent bartape and decent Hutchinson tyres. I guess that's where they saved the money to get the disc brakes. It's crazy given that tyres and the contact points like the bar tape play such an important part in how well the bike rides and feels. I do not mind the external cabling, having ridden my bike through three Scottish winters, it held up okay and I find external cabling easier to replace at home. The one thing I will say that could also be improved is the neatness of the welds, they look really untidy close up. That said, I agree that they're incredibly good value are very versatile and stable bikes.

Nice to see a local road cycling channel, keep up the great work guys!

Thank you ! Your video helped me a lot to get my first road bike ! Triban RC 500 🥰 ! The bike feels Awesome 🤩.

Great review, as always!

A very detailed video. Love your explaination.

Thank you for the review! Helped me to select a bike for my husband who is starting the cycling :)

Wow!! The bike weight is amazing for an alu frame!! Great bike with great parts for a road bike at this price!! Cool!!

Excellent review, thanks a lot.

Thank you for the honest review 🙏

Just tried and ordered one today! I'm so excited!

Excellent review!

i am a proud owner of this bike (in black, blue was not available when i bought it) sind 15 months. i like it, very much. the shimano sora is absolutly sufficient for my personal requirements. greetings from germany :-)

Hi Can u do a quick comparison between rc 500 and volcker slate.. Since rc 500 has a longer wait period, i am considering an alternative.. volcker looks like the base carbon fibre bike..

I've got one and i love it! I'm 6ft 2in and found it difficult to get on with the handlebars,my back kept aching! Oh the joys of old age!!! So i put a flat bar on changed the cassette to a shimano 12/36 wich is excellent for steep hills especially if you a big guy like me.i put 35 mil puncture resistant tan wall tyres on and changed the seat .i find it perfect for me now and i still only spent about 750 pounds TOTAL!!! Wich is crazy .i absolutely love the bike i live in Thailand now and average around 400 kilometres per month. Yes there are a few things minor things that aren't good but it's not to expensive to swap them .the pedals also wasn't to good but i put a nice set on for very small money! All in all a great bike that you can tailor to your needs! 10 out of 10 for me well done Decathlon 😁❤

hey do u have any idea what js the lifespan of this bicycle

Have you changed a tyre on this yet? I heard the wheels make it very difficult.

How is this bike compared to Marin Nicasio 700c? I still deciding which to splurge on.

can you do a review on the van rysel ?

Bro can you do the RC520 Review if u have it? Thanks!

Nice review. The Triban RC500 has proved to be a brilliant buy with full day rides done and has even done duty as a gravel bike with 35mm. tyres fitted for a few months, which worked out really well. Great all-rounder 👍

That's one lovely locale...a cycling paradise it seems 😮. Great review 💯

Glad that chose right bike. Done 17K KM without a problem. Only tyres (one each rim), one cassette and chains replaced till now. I'm 56 Sora groupset is awesome.

Is the RC500 with Microshift shifters newer than this one? Because that one is a bit cheaper than the bike you reviewed on this video.

Super detailed review! Any idea when will it be restocked? Currently it’s out of stock on the website.

Actually you can try using the default tires as indoor trainer tires. Then switch it up to premium tire when going out. Don't need to buy indoor trainer specific tires and you can save on your premium tires.

Video is helpful for us

Thanks for the review. I try to purchase but now it is out of stock for L size , and only 1 unit left for XL.

Thanks for the review. how about making steep climbs?

Thanks for the awesome review of the RC500. Since your review process for this model has gone up a little. I believe the same versatility remains and not sure if there have been any recent upgrades. I would like to know how this bike, the Triban RC500 compares with the Merida 2022 Speeder 20? Please share your opinion and advice. Thanks again.

Thanks for the detailed review! How would you compare this to the RC520 though in terms of value and performance.

Hi, like your videos and your efforts! May I know how do you feel about this Triban RC500 with your XDS RF500? Which one do you prefer? 😁

At the max tire width of 36mm, do you think i can still put in a fender?

Just curious what is the avg. speed you can hold on this bike?

So tempting to get a road bike

Great review! What’s your height and whats the size of the RC500 you were riding? Im thinking of getting one for myself but Im not too sure about fit.

Okay, if the RC500 is an entry level endurance road bike, how would you describe the RC100 or RC120 bikes respectively?

They taped the bartape the wrong direction. It is supposed to be in the direction that is used by the rider which is going down.

Can you upgrade the rc 500 with Shimano 105 group set?

Thanks for sharing. May i know how do we choose the Frame Size? it's based on our height ?

I can get a secondhand 'as good as new' one for €500, is this a good deal?

I'm thinking of buying this bike and changing the groupset into a Campagnolo Super Record and changing the wheels with a Mavic wheels and probably wrap it with some Pirelli pzero's

Just went to Decathlon to try their road bike series. First time trying a road bike, it feels weird and I experienced numbing of hands. Maybe going to find a friend to borrow his road bike for a period of time before deciding whether road bike is suitable for me.

Definitely considering at this road bike after riding my folding bike. A newer and better folding bike cost about the same as this Triban RC500. Let's see what kind of rider am I.

For a person that is 168cm, what size would you recommend?

Odd question - how is the stem? Thinking about buying it in 120mm length

Can do a review on triban RC 520

I think that Internal Cable Routing is the major area for improvement for all Decathlon's bike.

Great review! I just found out that the brakes are a single-piston, were there instances where the discs rub on the pads?

What shoes are you wearing while cycling in this video? Do you think it is necessary or important to get those bike road shoes?

Mine is fully swapped out. What remains of the stock parts are the saddle and drivetrain. Fitted a new wheelset because the stock ones are basically garbage. Headset is totally banged out after almost a 1000 km, and needs replacing. Almost died on a descent with the stock brakes.

I want to.buy triban rc500. My height 171cm.which frame size I preffered ....

seriously thinking of getting 1 to try out road cycling

If you want a fast entry road bike go for Java Siluro 2 instead, it's an Aero road bike with high profile wheels at $680+.

Looking for a road bike that can go high speed, whats this one like?

The lack of responsiveness and pickup factors mentioned might just be due the tires.....

whats your rating now after it price went up? 5/5?

This bike is awesome than giant spects in this price range

How tall are you and what size is the bike

Are there any difference between S and XS sizes?

Height 170 cm. Leg Length 78 cm. Which Is it the right size S or M?🌹🌹

Triban rc120 & rc500 they share the similar type of frame, both freehub bearing of this decathlon bike is not so good

Is this bike for females?

I JUST BOUGHT THIS BIKE

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzfaq.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

all those guys riding sworks, giant, trek, hate triban, any reason why?

👍🏻

What he did not mention or maybe he did not have tried out yet is to remove the stock tire and put it back. it is almost impossible with normal tools. The bike is fantastic and it accelerate fast for me no problem there. However the only negative are the tires which you must replace them for folding tires which will be more easy to remove and put back when you have a puncture. you can go tubeless too... The wheels are just ok for the given frame, however replacing the wheels not going to be needed given that the bike is not designed for speed, she is comfortable at 25 km/h as average speed, so any set of wheel is ok. My fair opinion only. If you are buying this bike to speed and race go somewhere else.

My parents don’t let me buy 😭

Who fart ??? 8:04

It’s good apart from punctures and brakes are ok…. Not good Wheels are crap But it performs. Did a 100km gravel ride. It’s comfy, fast , well priced However, if you need to by new rims, as changing tyres is impossible…. It’s cheaper to buy a specialised allez

Decathalon Triban bikes are rubbish. You are better off with a JAVA bike, which is UCI approved and similarly priced. These Triban trash bikes can't make the cut to be used in peloton races.
