We are 2 of us who are looking to purchase a Rockrider 5.0 soon. Is anyone else interested in this so that we can pool in and ask for a group discount at Decathlon?

Thanks,

Harish.

Please tell me how much it costs post group discount.

I need:

1. RR 5.0 Man L

2. Helmet

3. front and rear lights

4. bottle cage

5. front and rear mud flaps

6. kick stand

7. cable lock

sports365 quotes:

the bike - 9500/- 

accessories - 2350/-

mudflaps - 1000/-

kickstand - 500/-

shipping to Kerala 1000/- (incl accessories) 

Total of 14350/-

If I buy in bangalore, I still need 500/- to ship it to Kerala.

Let me know if I should use a group buy, or order online.

Let me ask you this. Decathlon online price is 8.5K. Do they ship to Kerala or is it go n fetch from their shop?

If they ship, could I use help from one of u?

Whats the issue with Riverside 1 ? Can you pass some pointers /links? 

RR5.0 and riverside 1 are almost same leaving few differences.

BTW Decathlon shop price for RR 5.0 is Rs 9000/-  

Regarding shipping, decathlon ships it to member address. 

[b.n.a...@gmail.com]

this is on riverside 1 : http://whartsonhall.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/dont-buy-a-btwin-riverside-1-bike/ 

Considering the price and shipping charges, it makes sense to group buy RR 5.0 at a price no more than 8000 INR.

Will we get it at this price :-?

Good review, I didn't find any other review on Riverside 1 BTW same review at the bottom got people who are happy with it! 

I won't classify Riverside 1 bad based on one bad review.

Anyone here with hands on experience with Riverside 1?  

I drove both on decathlon and found Riverside 1 better. Some one told me RR5.0 is for 30mins usage, where as Riverside 1 is up to 2 hours.  ( Riverside 3 is for 3 to 5 hours...)  Is it true?

Off road ride, RR 5.0 will be better with mountain tyres.   On road ride, Riverside 1 will be better with hybrid types

So finally it depends on your usage ...
