Triban RC 520 Disc review

Apr 2020 · Simon Withers

Decathlon’s dramatically redesigned Triban loses the B’Twin name while gaining disc brakes and more, and is one of our £1,000 Bike of the Year contenders

Highs
  • Super-comfortable endurance ride, oodles of versatility, great kit, astonishing value

Lows
  • Slightly weighty

  • Relaxed geometry won’t suit racier riders
