A new generation of protective gear is designed to make falls safer: Decathlon’s airbag vest automatically detects accidents and protects the upper body, back, and neck within milliseconds by rapidly inflating a protective cushion.

Decathlon is revamping its German business and wants to focus entirely on bicycles—with new stores, more services, and an ambitious expansion plan. Will this make the sporting goods giant a serious player in the bicycle market?

After two successful years under the Santa Cruz flag, the Frenchman is moving to a domestic team, the Rockrider UCI Mountain Bike Team. Marotte immediately takes his team colleague Greta Seiwald (ITA) with him from Santa Cruz. The third spectacular newcomer is the amitating US champion Savilia Blunk. The team is managed by former top rider Stéphane Tempier.

True to the motto "Discover what moves you", DECATHLON is launching its first e-mountain bike for children just in time for Christmas. The E-ST 500 from the BTwin own brand also allows younger riders to be part of a shared mountain bike adventure with the whole family. Winding trails through the forest, downhill at full speed or over hill and dale: thanks to the powerful 380 Wh battery, kids can easily keep up with tours of up to 100 km - depending on the support mode, body weight and terrain.
