Men's Gravel Bike Subcompact Shimano 105 - GRVL 520

Overall, I am happy with the bike - it provides great value. However, there are two issues I am experiencing with it which I am not satisfied, as follows: - the chain keeps falling off if and when peddling backward with the large cog in the front while the 1st cog (the l

argest one in the back cassette) in the back - the headlight is loose and will not stay on. It will fall off randomly even when riding on the road. I have not ridden on any gravel trail yet! I hope Decathlon will provide a resolution, especially with the defective headlight. I will be contacting them CS Team.

I'm in love

It’s been a while since I had a decent bike. The GRVL 520 is easy to ride and much much lighter than any bike I’ve had before. Very happy with my online purchase. Easy to add a rear fender and a rack. The front fender I chose needed to be adjusted for clearance at the very

front of the wheel for some reason. The purchase through Decathlon was effortless. A small issue was resolved in 24h online with fabulous customer support. The bike needed a little tuning on delivery, nothing major just the brakes and gears needed adjusting a little. I would purchase from Decathlon again due to my experience with this bike.

I am really pleased with the bike. It runs perfectly and is the best value proposition of any gravel bike on the market today.

The best option in bikes for some guys that loves cycling

What an excllent bike for the money! With Shimano 105, lifetime guarantee on the frame and freindly staff, you will be hard pressed to find a bike with these capabilities at this price. If you get it at full price $1600 it is a great deal. If you get it on sale, s it is now, y

ou are getting a super good deal. If you are willing to push, this bike will move very fast. The brakes, although not full hydraulic, are very satisfactory. Very happy with my purchase.

Really impressed with this bike. Have just used for 3 day cycle from north to south Wales. Mainly off-road. Performed really well on some very rough tracks with no mechanicals. Chainset has good range so able to grind up big inclines as well as get decent drive down hills. Cou

ple of excursions into bike parks where it was nimble and stable despite having panniers. Also use it for commuting and errands around London.

I love this bike, it;s beautiful to ride - But I've had it for three months now and I've had three punctures during that time - riding on London roads. And no - not glass, or nails. Each time it was a thorn that had gone straight through the tyre. For context I hadn't h

ad a puncture in the last 4 years on my old hybrid. My local Decathlon didn't stock any alternative tyres it would "recommend" for the bike, so I guess I'm going to be visiting my local independent shops, looking for replacement tyres for a £1,000 bike, Sad.

It is too early to comment about this specific bike, but a similar Triban 520 (the road bike version bought in 2016), wheels aside, has been both reliable and cost-effective to own.
