From steel to aluminum then carbon, here I am finally with a Titanium Gravel! What a joy, a bike designed in France with a frame made by Italian Maestros whose reputation is well established. The GRVL 900 is simply amazing in terms of its comfort, performance and standard equipment, well done Decathlon! I almost put the Holy Grail because I would have liked a threaded housing instead of the Press Fit, other French brands offer it for an equivalent price. The frames are certainly Asian but the bottom brackets are threaded and for me this bike deserves it. A big thank you to the cycle technicians at Decathlon Nevers Marzy where I ordered and received this bike and well done to the parent company for shipping it before the scheduled date. Best regards Pascal

This bike is really not bad. Tested for the moment on half-day outings up to 80km and it holds up well. The only small problem I have is the chain rubbing on the adjacent sprocket of the cassette when you are on the smallest sprockets (the workshop tells me that this is normal on 1x11... I don't have this problem on another bike in Sram Apex 1x11 but hey... I will try to put a Shimano chain when the original KMC is worn, we will see if that solves the problem) The saddle is also, for me, catastrophic. Extremely narrow, with foam that is too soft which causes pain over time (a harder saddle would be better with shorts), and without a lowered area in the middle to reduce pressure on the perineum. It was very quickly replaced for me by a Brooks B17 which had already been broken in on another bike, and it immediately becomes much more comfortable. On a bike at this price it's a shame to have such a poor saddle as standard equipment. In terms of things that could be improved (I hope the Triban team reads and takes this into account): - Use a UDH standard derailleur hanger. It's a great titanium frame, which I hope will last a lifetime, and it's a shame to know that if I break the derailleur hanger, and I don't have one stored, the frame becomes unusable if Decathlon no longer sells it (the workshop tells me that they guarantee to supply it for 10 years... that's too little). So I'm going to buy some regularly to store 3-4 in the hope that it will be enough for the life of the frame. Really a shame. - Add two eyelets on the top tube for a small bag. It probably doesn't cost much to make, but having a nice stable top tube bag for snacks and phone would be a HUGE plus - Change the PF bottom bracket to a T47 or BSA68. Same reason more or less as for the derailleur hanger, this is a frame that will hopefully last a lifetime, I'd like a threaded bottom bracket standard for more durability - The fork eyelets are slightly tilted back, so any bottle cage or bag mounted on it will be facing backwards and won't be in line with the bike, it's not very pretty, it ruins the aero even more, and there's no real reason to do it like that. Again I can understand the 2 vs 3 eyelets (even if 3 would be much better), but the tilt I have trouble - Here we go a little further, and it is not really necessary, but it would be good to have eyelets for luggage rack at the back. It would allow to mount for example a Tailfin system (it does not seem to pass on the axle with the way the legs are made).

Fabulous! Very light and unique fun

Top titanium gravel bike

A versatile bike that could have gone further in its design. The TRIBAN 900Ti is not, in my opinion, a competition bike. It was more developed for travel, long comfortable outings. I very rarely venture onto the trails, practicing almost exclusively on the road, in cycle touring mode. That's why I shod it with continental GP 4 seasons 32mm. Thus, on hilly roads, it allows the traveler to go on for miles without fearing the slope of the road. At almost 2000 kms including flat cycling, Vosges outings and the Grandes Alpes road, I remember: - good filtration of roughness, - precise and lively steering - a feeling of traction, even if less nervous than carbon - a precise transmission but difficult to adjust, the single chainring generates noise on the smallest developments. - the wheels satisfy me, especially the rear freewheel. - simple maintenance - additional eyelets would have given it more versatility and convenience at little cost (luggage rack, horizontal tube, diagonal tube) - the handlebars with a pronounced drop and a slight flare did not disorient me too much compared to my previous handlebars, more road type. - The speed staging is successful for my use. - The assembly of this Italian frame is perfect. It's always a pleasure to get on this bike, for a race to the other side of the village or for a trip to the other side of the country. Thanks to Grégoire de St Omer for his valuable advice: he saved my project! No doubt I will cross other mountain ranges on this beautiful machine!

Excellent bike at an unbeatable price.

I put a smaller sprocket in the front which is better for me. The brake levers are difficult to operate if you do not have large hands. It would have been better if they had been a little curved instead of straight. The bicycle is very light.

For the price, Decathlon has put together an absolute stunner compared to the competition. If you have something to complain about, keep it. The bike can be set up "out of the box" within half an hour, and it even comes with a disposable torque wrench. The ordering and delivery process worked really well for me. The wait (the bike was sold out for a long time) was worth it. Big praise and a full 5 stars. Did the first little tour straight away and had a smile on my face.

I'm really happy with the purchase.

Daily use when cycling and on weekends for Gravel outings. Also used for pulling a Thule lite 1 cart, you just need to buy a 20110730 wheel axle from Thule. A very responsive bike, the Touareg tires are as comfortable on the road as they are on the trails. effective braking, problem-free gear shifting. I recommend ! Only downside, fork changed under warranty after 2500km following abnormal wear by a headset washer. Recurring problem known to Decathlon but does not offer a solution.

Quite rigid but responsive, pleasant to ride, reassuring in speed curves, etc., good purchase

Very happy with the bike. Preparation, I gave it a 3/5 because I asked if the tightness of the screws had been checked and when I arrived home, the bottle door screws were loose. Not dangerous but it does not reassure for other tightening. Otherwise the bike is very pleasant, used for rolling gravel, and even small mountain bike rides. No eyelet for luggage rack attachment, that could have been practical.
