Riverside 500

€350

The step-through version of the Riverside 500, this hybrid keeps the lifetime-guaranteed aluminium frame, suspension fork, 1x9 drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes of the diamond-frame model. It is slightly heavier (14.4 kg in M) and limited to three sizes, but remains very highly rated by Decathlon customers. Sold at €349.99, with no practical accessories included.
