€300 Discount on the Decathlon Riverside 540 E

After the 500 E and the 520 E, Decathlon offers a generous discount on its premium hybrid bicycle Riverside 540 E.

The competition in the cycling world is currently phenomenal. Too many new players have entered the market to ride this wave of opportunity, and prices are being halved or even thrice reduced. Who would have thought, just two years ago, that a high-end hybrid bike would be worth less than 2,000 euros! With its dominant position in the market, Decathlon can boast of an ever-evolving R&D team. To the point of often multiplying models within the same family, risking a bit of consumer confusion.

Under the B’twin brand, the giant French sports equipment company established itself. But there are sub-branches, such as Rockrider mountain bikes, Triban road bikes, Oxylane folding bikes, or Elops city bikes. And then there are Riverside, these true Swiss Army knives with two wheels, including our model of the day.

At the top of the Riverside pyramid is the 540 E with the heavy task of justifying an additional cost of nearly 1,000 euros compared to the already very successful 520 E. This premium hybrid bike features the well-known Riverside frame with a seamlessly integrated electric component. It is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, a Suntour magnesium fork with 63 mm of adjustable and lockable travel, and a Shimano Deore 10-speed derailleur with handlebar-controlled shift. For urban use, it can optionally accommodate fenders. The 540 E is powered by the new, ultra-quiet SHIMANO STEPS E6100 mid-drive motor, designed for long-distance road and trail riding.
With a torque of 60 Nm, it provides particularly dynamic assistance regardless of the incline.

The major strength of this e-bike is its SHIMANO Lithium-ion 36V 11.6 Ah 418Wh battery, capable of offering an autonomy of over 100 km in Eco mode. If you truly value instant assistance, the High mode will support you for 60 km, more than enough to do a round trip in the city without recharging and without breaking a sweat.

The dual equipment of Shimano Battery / motor allows you to benefit from E-Tube apps to analyze your journeys in detail. A sleek removable display provides all essential information.

Finally, this Riverside is available in 4 sizes to suit everyone, from 1.50 m to 2.01 m tall.

Always priced at 2,499 euros in gray finish, this is a purchase that is not obvious unless you truly need very powerful assistance for a long trip. However, discounted to 2,199.99 euros in very elegant blue finish, it becomes more interesting. Once the ecological bonus is applied—40% of the cycle’s price or up to 300 euros, the Riverside 540 E drops below the 2,000 euro mark to 1,900 euros.
