Bike Magic tested this bike and called it "stupidly good value for money". The Rockrider 8.1 retails at £500, but shares the same frame as it's £759 bigger brother ("the Rockrider 8.1 chassis has the kind of detailing generally associated with considerably more expensive bikes") making it a great bike for future upgrades. Mind you, Bike Magic described it's component selection as "a component selection that generally widdles upon bikes retailing for £100 more", so it's got everything you need already right out of the box.
You can read the full Bike Magic review of this bike here. And when we say this bike we mean this exact bike; yes the bike you'll be bidding for is the very one ridden for the test, which Decathlon have generously passed on to our auction. It has a 'large' size frame and has been ridden for approximately 50 miles for the purpose of the test.
