The Triban RC 100 flat bar was the bike on which I restarted cycling as a middle-aged adult, and what got me into cycling seriously. I purchased this from Decathlon in March 2019 and eventually sold it in November 2021 after getting my first road bike.
The bike feels sturdy while riding, even on rough terrain. The flat handlebar gives a comfortable and upright riding position, which is great for commuting or leisurely rides.
One of the things I loved most about the Triban RC 100 is its versatility. The hybrid tires allow me to switch between road and off-road biking with ease, and the adjustable seat and handlebars make it comfortable for riders of all sizes. The 7-speed Shimano drivetrain gives enough gears to choose from for tackling mild inclines, or cruising on flat terrain.
The Triban RC 100 hybrid bike is a great starter bike for someone in need of a reliable and comfortable mode of transportation. It’s a great bike for both casual riders and serious cycling enthusiasts.
