@@TheBeardManOnCycle Wow! Given Indian road security, he must be protected by Shiva himself!
Love this presentation by Puru. Decathlon needs to see this.
His passion for his work and cycling is so clear.
Puru is a true sport, selling what he believes in. Well deserved respect!
The salesman is 🔥🔥🔥
yes that he is... his knowledge is impressive and also a great athlete.
This bike is a beast...king of all the roads...i will purchase asap...thank u
I was waiting for this Gravel Bike, thanks for sharing the update. I can't wait for hands-on Experience.
yes I have been waiting for this bike a long time too, and Triban is very trust worthy brand...
Awesome! Both Question and answers explained well in terms of technical information and it's display about the Gravel bike
Thank you, it's all thanks to Puru Khilari for sharing his insights on this fantastic bike.
Thanks for the review man, it helps me to short down my list.
you are very welcome, please do share your list... would love to know the options too. It just might help others make a decision.
Got this a couple of weeks ago, and I have already clocked in 450ks in spite of traveling. This is a fun bike. It is almost comfortable like a MTB and almost as fast as a RB. A jack of all trades. The gearing is perfect, and the Carbon fork means business. However, the only gripe is the 38T front crank. Upgrading to a 42T will noticeable increase your speed. A perfect upgrade from a Hybrid and a logical alternative to RB considering the road conditions in our country. 11/10 would recommend it!
Thank you for summing it up so well, listen let me know about front crank upgrade... Love to know where you are getting it upgraded... Which brand etc.
@The Beard Man On Cycle Sure will do. I'm planning to upgrade it in a couple of months. BTW, the stock plastic pedals are flimsy, and one pedal has already cracked. The first upgrade I need to do is to swap them for the metal ones.
@@adityasundar324 I agree on the pedals, I also will be in look out for a light weight pedals but standard. Some good light weight cost a bomb but worth it if you want to keep the overall bike weight down
@@adityasundar324 Hey man just butting in.
Is it possible to upgrade the front from a 1 by to a 2 by for this bike?
What would be the approx cost going in for say a Sora?
I think that upgrade would put the overall cost of the bike into the approx 90k bracket.
The flimsy and no name parts that decathlon puts in in these not so budget bikes is what irks me the most.
It tells me that they know what they are doing and cutting corners when it's really not that necessary.....(most possibly because they have realized that they can sell anything to the Indian consumer who is more than ready to pay for low quality.)
@RP Yeah, it is possible to upgrade the bicycle to a 2x. The Sora groupset would set you back at least 25-30k. Agreed that Decathlon has done cost cutting by using mircroshift components.
I am personally satisfied with the 1x drivetrain, although the front crank could have been a tad bit bigger. The reason why I went with the Triban RC120 Gravel is because the RC500 did not have Size L and the tyres are prone to punctures.
I could give you an alternative. Go for the RC500, swap the rims and tyres for a wider one. That would work out to be much more cheaper than getting the RC120 Gravel and upgrading it to Sora.
The rims on the RC500 are 17Cs whereas the tyres are 28Cs. I am not sure as to what is the safest upper limit for 17C tyres. Maybe a 35? could be a 38 also.
So you could do more research on the maximum tyre size which can fit a 17c rim. Get the Rc500. Fit it with larger tyres and get much better performance and a VFM bike.
Nice camera work n good editing👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you very much.
Interesting machine - thanks for the comprehensive overview!
Glad you liked it!, appreciate your feedback truly.
Great review, thank you🎉
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Nice and informative video. Thank you.
You are very welcome 🤘 I hope you found it useful.
amazing video brother, you are a amazing cycling content creator keep it up, Puru is amazing cyclist, see you soon on a ride. I am from navi mumbai.
Thank you very much for making my day, Puru is a rockstar cyclist, he even came first in the Jio Mumbai Cyclothon (75 km) held on 13 Nov 2022. He is very inspiring.
Curious to know what model is the double legged kickstand used in this demo unit?
Lol nice catch... No, that is not standard. Puru had it installed temporarily so we could keep it upright.
First thx for that nice video :-) in my opinion the most worst part of this bike is that has no derailleur hanger like you can see at 5:28 min. That means if this bike will ever have a crash or falls on its right site, the derailleur, the frame and the spokes can be damaged very easy. Repairing any of this parts is very expansive and can cause in huge trouble. I do not understand why decathlon built this bike without any derailleur hanger? It would hardly increase the price of that bike but would it make so much more durable and sustainable…
Explained well
Thank you i appreciate it
Hey beardman, nice vid, pls suggest your usage experience after 6-7 months, is it worth every penny spent(60-70k? I'm planning to buy, have never tried gear bikes earlier, as you rightly mentioned bike is stylish, but what about its maintenance
To be completely honest, I haven't had the chance to ride this bike extensively due to some personal commitments keeping me busy lately. However, based on my initial experiences, I can confidently say that this bike is a true delight to ride and a lot of fun to maneuver. In terms of maintenance, I don't anticipate much to worry about. Decathlon is well-known for its cost-effective solutions and an outstanding track record of after-sales service. If you're contemplating getting this bike, my advice would be not to overthink it - just go for it. While nothing is truly perfect, this bike comes remarkably close, especially considering its price point, in my personal opinion.
The colour, the handle bar, the rear derailleur and the tyres are really tempting to exchange my RC 120 for it. Literally, maan lalcha raha hai. 😜
welcome to my life... I am literally selling my ebike to buy this one.. 😂
@@TheBeardManOnCycle looks like the midlife crisis is real at least in we cyclist’s life. 😂😂
🤘😂 tho to handle mid-life crisis I would need a Pinarello Dogma F12 hahaha
@@TheBeardManOnCycle 😂😂😂😂
Got this bike & it's excellent ..
How does it perform? Where are you from?
@@TheBeardManOnCycle Fantastic.....( England) great review by the way . Yes it's an excellent bike....no need to shell out anymore as this bike more than does the job .! Great fun to ride too .👍
Thank you very much, you made my day. I am glad to hear your feedback, I too am planning to get the RC 120 Grvl. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Good video, are you aware any customer / friend who had bought this recently. I am looking for a first hand review of the gearing system from the user. If possible do share, many thanks
thank you, really appreciate your feedback. However, I am not aware of anyone who has recently purchased the bike. I will try to find out though. I myself have plan to get this bike soon.
@@TheBeardManOnCycle I look forward to your reply if you come across anyone using this bike or yours if you buy one. If the gearing was from shimano this would have been a no brainier purchase . I am just curious abt the microshift gearing system !! Thanks for the reply
Absolutely, I have plan in future to upgrade to Shimano... in the mean time Microshift will have to do 😉
Hi! I'm 1.80m and in doubt between M and L...Can you give some advice? Thanks
Hey there! At 1.80m, you're right on the cusp between a medium and large Triban RC 120 GRVL. Here's some info to help you decide:
Decathlon's size chart: According to Decathlon's size chart [link Decathlon GRVL 120 size chart], a large is recommended for riders between 1.78m and 1.85m. So, based on height alone, a large might be ideal.
Riding style and preference:
Large: If you prefer a more relaxed riding position, with a more upright torso, then a large could be a good choice. It might also feel more comfortable for longer rides.
Medium: If you favor a more aggressive, performance-oriented riding style, a medium size might be better. It'll offer a slightly more compact fit for better power transfer.
Here's what I recommend:
If you can, visit a Decathlon store and try both sizes for yourself. This is the best way to determine which feels most comfortable.
If a test ride isn't possible, consider factors like your riding style and inseam length.
Watch some reviews of the Triban RC 120 GRVL that discuss sizing. You might find insights from people of similar height.
Ultimately, the best size is the one that feels most comfortable and allows for good control of the bike.
I hope this helps!
@@TheBeardManOnCycle Thanks a lot! Usually i prefer a more confortable riding style. I will visit a store and if possible test by myself.
When are you planning to buy bro, eagerly waiting for user review 🙂❤️🙌
Soon very soon hopefully
The weight is 11,2 with pedal in M.
Yesterday i got this byk❤️
Wow congratulations... Let us know your experience
Share your review between rc 120 gravel vs rc 500
Nice
Thank you
Firefox Pirate 3.0 gravel bicycle at Rs 39,000 is also a good option to choose.
Not comparable with this RC120 Gravel
What is the tyre clearance of this cycle? When will RC520 gravel come to India?
That is a good question, there is no mention of this though.... I will try to find out.
Which frame size will u buy
Since there is only Small and Medium, I will have to get Medium I am 6 ft tall and medium is suitable for up to 5.11" so I guess I can manage an inch 😉
I advise getting a large size of you're 6 feet tall. I'm 6'1and I have a large, the medium would be way too small
I plan to get Size L as it is now available in stock with Decathlon.
I have one for sale in a size large that's had very little use. Are you in the UK?
@@TheBeardManOnCycle my height is 6 medium is best suitable for me...its better u ride both medium n large n than decide
Chain line issue?
not really, can you be more specific. I will check on it. Thanks
Price
As of now its Rs.59,999 (60K)
Currently i have mtb (rockrider st100) but doing 100 kms on it is tiresome so I want to upgrade cycle with good speed for long distance but considering indian roads (potholes/rough patches on highways) should I buy triban rc 500 or rc120 gravel ?
Bro Gravel works best for me... Check with Puru at R City Mall Decathlon if you can visit there he will guide you best. He is also on Instagram
RC 120 is around 60k with Microshift gears while RC 500 is 65 with Sora.
RC 500 seems like a no brainer, being a much better option.
I have to agree about the Microshift. However, spend a little more (close to RC 500) and upgrade the drivetrain, and you just might have a kickass *Gravel* bike.
@@TheBeardManOnCycle See that's the issue..... All decathlon has to do is give a 2 by drivetrain and reduce the price to around 40/50k so as to make a noticeable difference between rc120 and rc500.
60/65 k is not a small price unless they are selling to a cash flush naive easily gullible Indian consumer.
Most of these bike manufacturers are just ripping consumers by jumping on the latest "gravel bike" trend.
I purchased my btwin bike 12 years ago for 10k.
It's a hybrid bike that I have extensively used for 80km+ rides with hardly any issues.
Not saying that these current bikes are bad but the prices are just frankly bonkers.
@Decathlon India some constructive feedback. Hope you guys are listening 😉
@@main_stream_media_is_a_joke it’s actually the cost of groupset, which makes drop handlebar bikes expensive. Rest of the bikes are same.
The Brifters are the most expensive in a road groupset, whereas a trigger shifter on a MTB or Hybrid is much much cheap.
The Microshift XLE is actually their most successful Avent X but 10 spd. Here on the gravel, it’s the clutch based rear derailleur that too with a long cage. You can easily go upto 52T with a deraileur hanger extender.
Still it’s Decathlon is much cheaper than the big brands. At least by 20-30k with the exact same configuration. And BTW, micro-shift is not bad, it’s pretty smooth if index properly.
@@junaid42465 Thanks for your detailed reply man.
Appreciate it.
I am presently using a decathlon rockrider hybrid for the past 12 years that has Shimano tourney 3*7.
Despite what people say, I have had no issues with these gears and I ride around 240 km every week.
I was planning to upgrade to a gravel bike but the prices frankly are imo just ridiculous.
Firefox pirate 3.0 seems to be at least somewhat sensibly priced, but it's mostly out of stock.
When I hear people say that 80k for a bike is a "steal", I feel like I am speaking with millionaires who have shit load of disposable cash just lying around...😁.
price?
60k indian
👍👍👍
Triban RC 120 or Triban Gravel RC 120?🤔🤔🤔
In India they call the bike Triban RC 120 Grvl :)
H😢w to ride off-road without suspension, 😂you said it for off-road can ride
Hi thanks for the comment, let me explain.
Riding off-road without suspension on a gravel bike is absolutely doable. Gravel bikes are designed for versatility and can handle a range of terrains, including gravel paths, dirt trails, and even some light off-road sections. While they don't have traditional suspension, the wider tires and bike geometry provide comfort and stability. It's important to note that gravel bikes aren't meant for extreme off-roading, but they shine on gravel roads, smooth trails, and mixed surfaces. If you have any specific questions or need tips, feel free to ask! Happy riding!
