B'Twin Elops 540 low frame Town Bike

Make your urban rides fun and comfortable with this city bike.

You'll love its practical side and how well-equipped it is.

This city bike comes with quality components: a low frame, pannier rack, internal 7-speed hub, double-walled rims, and automatic lights powered by its dynamo hub. Shimano Nexus gear changes.

This type of gear system is designed to let you change gears when stationary, without pedalling. It makes it easier to get your bike going again, particularly when you're carrying a lot of stuff. The system is also shock-resistant because it's completely integrated into the rear wheel's hub and therefore needs very little maintenance.

There's a grip shifter to control it.

WARNING: the system needs you to stop pedalling for 1 second to change gears.

Frame: Double-butted steel frame - lighter and more comfortable.

Also available in a step-through frame model, making it easier to get on the bike (for both male and female riders).

* Double-butted tube: tube with varying thickness to save weight; thicker at the extremities to make it more solid, and thinner in the middle for a more comfortable ride and to better absorb vibrations.

Fork: Slightly curved steel fork to absorb the small bumps in the road and keep you more comfortable as you ride.

Braking: Aluminium V-brake calliper brakes (with pads) and levers.

Handlebar / Stem / Steering: Aluminium Dutch-style handlebar and damper stem (22.2 diameter) set to a very comfortable upright position. Ergonomic grips to be more comfortable when regularly using the bike, along with inserts for attaching a VIOO clip to make you more visible from the side.

A self-centring spring was added between the fork and the frame to help stabilize your bike with a loaded rack, while riding or parked.

Saddle / Seat post: Height-adjustable seat post (28.6 mm diameter), made of steel to more effectively absorb vibrations and provide a more comfortable ride. Wide saddle whose foam padding varies in hardness based on the pressure points between your bum and the saddle.

Saddle is set at a 12 degrees angle for greater comfort; welded in place for added safety.

Lockable seat clamp (diameter: 31.8 mm) so opportunist thieves can't steal your saddle / seat post.

Visibility: Front and rear lights powered by a Shimano Nexus hub dynamo in the front wheel - no battery needed! Front light turns on automatically in low light conditions.

Back light built into the rear mudguard and front light built into the frame to prevent theft. Rear reflector built into the pannier rack. Reflective strips on the front and rear tyres to keep you more visible in the city when riding in any conditions.

Drivetrain / Pedals: 7-speed Shimano Nexus geared hub controlled by a grip shifter. 40-tooth single chainring, 170 mm aluminium cranks, and 20-tooth cog.

Development in metres: 2.77 m to 6.80 m;.

Chain tensioner to reduce maintenance caused by wear. KMC 106 chain links with rust-resistant coating. Resin pedals.

Wheels: 28" 36-spoke double-walled front and rear wheels made of reinforced aluminium to prevent recurring buckling or deformation of the rims. Why have we chosen this wheel size? So that our users can enjoy a more comfortable experience and the ride quality that this wheel size offers. Front wheel attached with a quick release mechanism that can be opened with a 5 mm Allen key.

9 mm rear axle attached with bolts and can be dismounted with a 15 mm wrench.

Tyres: 700x44 balloon-type Skinwall tyres to smooth out bumps in the road and keep you more comfortable as you ride while also providing better rolling. The Schrader valves make the tyres easier to inflate, even at a garage.

The ideal pressure is between 3.5 and 4 bars. 1 mm puncture-prevention nylon tyre liner built into the tyre tread. Reflective bands to make you more visible.

Equipment: Lights powered by Shimano Nexus dynamo hub in the front wheel; screwed-on front rack; rear pannier rack welded to the frame; front and rear mudguards, side-mounted bike stand, chain guard around the entire chain; designed by our engineers.

B'Twin Bikes

B'Twin are a popular choice of bike in the UK, partly due to their widespread distribution by Decathlon, and partly due to the value they offer. Their bikes are divided into several slightly overlapping ranges, with Triban best known for road and gravel bikes, and Rockrider gaining a reputation for high performing MTBs to suit every budget. Elops largely consist of a range of city bikes, whereas Riverside focus on hybrids. All in all, B'Twin bikes are well worth checking out given the size of their ranges; there's a model to suit most budgets.

Elops Hybrid Bikes

The Elops series of bikes from Decathlon comprise of traditional city bikes and hybrids, with men's and ladies versions available for most models.

This range are designed for road use in the urban environment; ideal for casual cyclists and commuters.

The majority of these bicycles were originally badged as "B'Twin Bikes" prior to 2018, when a rebranding policy led to each type of bike receiving a new label. The Elops bike range also includes a handful of electric city bikes for those who'd like a helping hand when ascending hills.
