Go for the xc100....it's cheaper and lighter 12kg in Size M... Treks 13.32kgs iapprox...huge weight penalty....some disadvantages... But xc 100 holistically a better deal...
Hi Ishanth!this is the best review I have seen..I am quite new to geared cycling world..I love to offroad,and also like to go for some short trips within 50kms..How do you think x-50 is gonna perform to my expectations?I have ordered one to enter seriously into cycling...how is x-50 better than the bikes from trek which are priced between 30k-50k(marlin series)
Hey,I got my bike today...but there's no tool kit inside the box to adjust the handle bar and fix the pedals.. customer care number also is not working..any idea on how I can fix it by buying tools from a local repair shop?
@@expertanalysis6196 hi u will basically need an allan key set and a pedal wrench or any 14-15 number spanner.. allan keys will help install the handle bars and stem and the pedal wrench/spanner will help attach the pedals..rest i think the bike is pre assembled right.
Thank you so much for the quick reply...okay I ll go and buy allan key set and probably pedal wrench/spanner too from a local shop..yes the rest of it is assembled.
The XC50 is a bit cheaper and has the exact same frame and similar components (Rockshox Judy Air on the XC50 for example). The only big difference is the transmission: the XC50 carries SRAM SX instead of NX. Other than that they are pretty much the same bikes from what I've gathered.
2018 and 2019 models of the scott scale 980 are at par with the xc100, the scott looks better and had has better design. But where it tips the scale towards the XC100 for me is the afterrsales quality of decathlon....scott doesbt have good after sales service. So i wud suggest the xc100
Great review considering the limited hardware you used for it. A reviewer of your skills deserves a nice hardware upgrade. Do try and bring out a review of the XC 500 RR as well.
Bro best rewiev for cycle actually I am buying this one only but before buying I wanted the suggestion of this cycle and ya I love the suspension remote lockout feature in this cycle 🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗
How’s this bike if I m not into racing...Will this be a comfortable During normal rides for fitness..? I am looking for lightweight fast and comfortable MTB...
Giant SlR 1 is better for sure.... Fathom is trail bike , so better for having fun.... The SLR1 and the XC100 are cross country bikes... Can't compare a filet knife to a machete 😀
@@BombayBoywhoPedals p.s, i am a noob and i complete newbie to cycling! I want my bicycle to be built hard and withstand beating while also having fun. I want it to last basically
Thanks for such a nice and interesting review video. Liked it a lot. 😊👍 I have a query, the Trek Marlin 8 will be a better option when compared to XC100? Please let me know. The other option I have in my mind is Decathlon ST 900S but its wheel size is 27.5 inches only. Please help as you are more experienced in this. I'm looking for trails and longer rides and like to have speed. May be put a carrier and light bag travelling. Also, let me know for any other recommendations. Thank you.
Hey bro nice review. I just wanna know one thing. I do and average speed 24kmph on hybrids. I ride 40km every day. What may be the average speed I can maintain on this bike? I was thinking to buy and XC bike. most of my rides are in city traffic. PLs suggest
Nice review of the Rockrider XC 100, you did a great job there. Its a pity Decathlon does not have such reviews on their site. How is a 11-34T cassette and 22/32/44T crankset combo for uphills ?? Is the gearing ratio good for steep uphill??
Hi thank u so much, really appreciate it. See if ur not planning on riacing, 11-34 , 22-32-44 cassette/crank setup is more than enough. Hills wont be any problem.
Hi Buddy! It seems you have very good knowledge of bikes. Which MTB you suggest to buy within budget of 30 K? I have shortlisted Polygon Premier 4.. please let me know your thoughts on it.. and your recommendation.. Thanks
hi nilesh , the polygon is a good bike, you should also have look at the scott aspect 980, Gt Avalanche, Cannondale trail 7, Ridley Trailfire, Montra Rock and some offerings from schnell are decent as well....but if i were you...i wud stick to brands like scott, GT and Cannondale.
@@BombayBoywhoPedals so bro is this the best option or should I look for cannondale trail 3 or merida big nine 600. Pls guide me you have a good knowledge about bikes
@@ojassingh7189 buddy this bike is the best Bang for Buck.... u will not get a better specked bike in india currently for this price... much better than merida and cannondale
I don’t think you shud launch this bike between huge gaps... u can surly hop between small trail features but I wouldn’t recommend full send on a downhill line...
Absolutely loved the review. I am still split between this bike and thr van rysel ultra af. Cant decide whether to go mtb or roadbike. Because i usually ride on roads but roads may not always be in a good condition everywhere you go? Have you ever faced any issues on this bike keeping up with roadbikers or were u getting dropped due to the speed disadvantage on an mtb?
No mountain bike will keep up with a road bike.. Completely different set-up. the wheels/tyres on the road bike are built for speed. not so on a mountain bike.
What's your Height My Brother? Coz im planning to purchase the same bike over 2020 Giant Fathom 2 29er & 2020 Merida Big Nine Limited. XC100 Medium Size and I'm 5'9.5"..
@@BombayBoywhoPedals Isn't it to small for you? According to their website you should go for XL: S: 150 cm to 164 cm; M: 165 cm to 174 cm; L: 175 cm to 184 cm; XL: 185 cm to 195 cm.
Stretch by 15k more and get the XC900 if u have to have carbon, else the XC500 is also great. And falls right in the budget......alloy is indestructible... Scott Scale 940 2021 is also superb....if u want a dual sus... Look at the polygon siskiu D7 , great bike as well....
Finally... One indian who know how to "review"
Sumit Bhatnagar thank you so much 🙏
I've made my mind up... This bike is just what I've been looking for.. Thank you.

Is this good for long bike-packing rides in mountain terrain ? or any other recommendation. Currently I ride around 25km daily on single speed btwin.

why is the seatpost so high? Maybe the frame is too small?

how would you compare this to Trek X Caliber 8 and Giant xtc slr 29 2
better than the xcaliber 8...only interms of components though, and def not even close to as good as the Giant XTC
@@BombayBoywhoPedals but the drivetrain is deore in xtc
Any other xc bikes in this price range?
