Design
The ROCKRIDER 520 was designed and created in France, at the B'Twin Village in Lille, by a team of experts and cycling enthusiasts dedicated to designing our mountain bike Sport Touring line.
Production took place in different factories in Europe as close to our Decathlon stores as possible.

Frame
Rockrider CGF Evo (Comfort Geometry Frame) 6061 aluminum frame for 27.5" wheels.
Comfortable seating position thanks to raised steering.
Seat is 5 times more flexible than a standard frame thanks to a narrow 1.07-in. seat post.
Low bottom bracket: helps keep the mountain bike stable in turns, and makes it easier to place foot on the ground.
Open steering angle (69.5°): keeps mountain bike stable while riding.
Short rear wheel base: bicycle is easy to turn.
Front suspension
B'Twin U-Fit 80 fork, with 3.15 in. of travel and an innovative fork stiffness adjustment based on the rider's weight (121 to 230 lbs.). Durable thanks to the materials and fabrication processes used.
