That’s what we’re going to focus on in this video - reasonably priced shredders for less than £1,000.
These are our five favourite MTBs for the cash-conscious cyclist, that are perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. Are there any we missed? Let us know in the comments 👇

Ragley mmmbop 2.0.
Just under a grand and one of the most progressive and beautiful looking hardtails I've seen in a while.
Buying myself one end of the month since my nukeproof scout was stolen last year and I've been riding a b-twin rockrider 520 since. (Which may I add, is a hell of a bike) changed from a 100mm stem to a 50 and some grippy pedals. Works like a dream. Would still shit myself if I took it to a real trail centre though!
Gutted to hear about your Scout, but the Ragley looks great, RRP is over £1000 though, hence why it didn't make the list but still a brilliant shout!
Stoic: 'Stow-ik' - 1.
a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining.
Some good bikes there. As a roady I think sub-1000 is all the bike I'd need for occasional mud-fun.
Marin has several compelling options near and under $1000.
The brakes on the Decathlon EST100 are fine… they pulled me up nicely with a system weight of 150kg. I did end up replacing the levers/callipers with Shimano XT but largely all I gained was (delightful) modulation of brake force.
Good to know, looking forward to trying it out!
@@bikeradar I tried closer A-B testing on the brakes, I’m going home to wash my blasphemous little mouth out with Shimano brake fluid (the difference was much more noticeable going back to the decathlon brakes).
One thing that might be worth looking out for is the free hub slipping under load. I’ve bought two decathlon mtbs in the last 6 months and they both do it.
Dormamu! I've come to bargain.
Lads, "Stoic" is pronounced "STOW-ick" not "stoyck"
Yoink!
I would add some version of cannondale's "Trail" line.
Good shout!
That decathlon ebike is an mtb style hybrid.
For some trails and beginners, it could be all you need though and a good starter bike if you need some help getting your fitness up. Not every bike has to be a shred sled!
Should have included bikes from Sonder.
Only the fully rigid frontier would have made the £1000 price point, but if you can stretch over that, they make some great bikes for sure!
Spend £500 more and ChainReactionCycles are selling the Ragley BluePig Race, Steel frame,27.5 with Lyrik Select 160mm Forks,XT shifter n rear Mech,SLX 4 pot brakes and Drivetrain, Nukeproof Horizon V2 Wheels with Maxxis Assegai F and DHR R, 170mm Dropper...Bargain of the decade..I got mine 2 weeks ago...Beast of a bike..Ha ! They also do a 29r with the same spec and price...Check them out while the offers still on !!!
That's insane, I'm starting to think they're in financial trouble as surely they can't be making money off the insane discounts they have right now.
nice bike recommendation
Its a killer bike for the money! Might be a stretch for a lot of riders though for 50% extra budget. If you can afford it though, one helluva bike for the cash!
what weight are these sub £1000 mountain bikes roughly?
why waste money on decathlon ebike when you can get a good hardtail for £1000🤷♂️
Some people might want an e-bike to boost their fitness on tamer trails first, it's always good to have options!
The other bikes may be more competent on rougher trails, but for some riders, it could be a great choice!
Kona Mahuna.
most mountain bikes are only about 30 pounds.
Why do people use electric mountain bikes?
to climb downhill
Please don't include e-bikes on the list next time.
e bike should never be considered a mountain bike rather motorbike
Why?
Note to editor: include an e-bike in every future top 5 video 😉
@@Jaymoid because theyre trying to slowly brainwash people that ebikes are the same as a normal bike. well they arent. they belong to a different category. they could make a different list for ebikes alone.
@@maicocomarts3098 they are the same in some ways and different in others. Why does it bother you?
Vitus, Canyon, Trek….blah blah blah *yawn* There’s other stuff out there but you’d never know it watching this tripe.
And we still don't know after reading your tripe...
Budget eBikes are a huge fire risk!! Don't promote the cheap eBike segment please. If it's not a quality name brand motor and battery pack, don't buy it!
Samsung?
@@chrisfit If the battery and charger is Samsung it is likely okay. But what usually causes the fires is the cheaper electronics which may overheat and/or cause shorts and such.
This has been an issue with phones for awhile. And one of the biggest causes of fires with phones is the cheap chargers people will pick up at convenience stores and such.
It's a Samsung battery and battery and charger, and given how huge Decathlon are around the world, we'd say they'll have done their homework!
