Today, the brand new Riverside Touring 920 came to light, very interesting from features to pricing. Let's take a look at it in detail.

Not only bikes

For Decathlon it's bikepacking time of the year: the Riverside models by the French brand has been completely redesigned to focus on adventure, a trending topic nowadays, in multiple aspects. Not only new bikes (Riverside 500, Riverside 520 and Riverside 920) are coming to light, but also new accessories and a brand new bikepacking and touring bags line. Lately, they upgraded the MTB line, then the gravel line, with Triban. Today we're taking a quick look at the new top-line bicycle touring bike, the Riverside Touring 920.

Riverside Touring 920: bicycle touring 101

We're getting closer and closer to the letter to Santa: now that this bike is out, it's very plausible that many of us will put the new Riverside Touring 920 in the list, with its gravel soul and adventure geometries. Its price? As competitive as Decathlon can be!

After having pushed for years on their "trekking bikes" line, with models 100, 500, 520, 920, Decathlon abruptly turns towards adventure and journey. The new Riverside Touring 920 has the right features to impress on the road, shock on technical terrains and amuse us like children on its beloved terrain, gravel roads. Aluminium frame, a 24° flare dropbar handlebar, 29"x2.25" tubeless wheels, 33 frame and fork eyelets to guarantee perfect modularity for bikepacking setups (or to mount racks or Gorilla Cages ), dynamo hub with a USB port to charge your technologic devices, Brooks saddle for a comfortable seat, internal cables, responsive hydraulic brakes, 11-speed crown to ride almost everywhere (if in a good shape)... everything in an attractive colour and a definitely interesting price to win the game in gravel and adventure bikes market.

Dopo aver iniziato totalmente a caso, mi sono avvicinato sempre più al mondo della bicicletta.

Pedalo per cercare di capire perché i cicloviaggi siano così belli, ricchi, terapeutici.
E ogni volta, immancabilmente non lo comprendo.
Così riparto...
