Hydraulic suspension fork 100 mm with weight adjustment and lockout. The stanchions have a bigger diameter than those of the ST 530 and ST 120. For me, the ROCKRIDER AM 100 S is one of the best examples of the new ROCKRIDER brand experience.
Thanks to the specific design of the ST 50’s aluminum brake levers, only two fingers are sufficient to brake. These brakes are made up of 2 calipers equipped with pads that exert a more or less strong pressure on the rim to slow down or stop the rotation of the wheels. The 80mm front suspension lets you overcome your first obstacles with peace of mind on slightly uneven trails.
Our selection of specialist mountain bikes will have you champing at the bit to get out on two wheels. From adrenaline-inducing hardtail mountain bikes to downhill mountain bikes for gnarly terrain where speed’s the aim of the game, we’ve got you covered. The Rockrider is their biggest series of hardtails and full-sus machines, from the Rockrider 900 — a top value choice for those who like decathlon mountain bike to travel quickly on the trails — to the Rockrider AM 100S full-sus. The Rockrider ST inch is single-speed with a 3.6 gain ratio. This mid-range gearing is just right for riding around the neighborhood. It’s low enough to allow kids to easily start pedaling the bike without much effort, but high enough to allow them to gain speed without having to spin their legs excessively fast.
Unlike the many other “budget bikes” we have tested, the brakes on all five of the Decathlon’s kids bikes we have tested work amazingly well straight out of the box – without any adjustments needed. In addition to not needing adjusting, the brakes are very responsive and require little effort for smaller hands to engage. On the tall end, our 50″ tester decathlon bike with a 28.5″ inseam also comfortably fit on the larger 24 inch Rockrider with its seat set to its lowest at 26″. As a result, to allow maximum room for growth, we would recommend kids who are 49″ tall with at least a 28″ inseam to move up to the 24″ size. We tested the Rockrider ST inch on three kids ages 6 and 7 whose height ranged from 46″ to 50″.
The base Original 100 model is a single-speed, while the Original 500 model is 6-speed and also comes with metal fenders and a basket. The answer will surprise some – because in fact, it doesn’t depend so much on the components, but primarily on the trails you want to ride, your riding intensity and annual mileage.
