The 700 has an X-Fusion RC32 Boost suspension fork with 130mm travel, while the 700S has a full suspension system of a RockShox 35 Silver R suspension fork with 140mm travel and a Deluxe Select Coil damper.
The Decathlon Rockrider 700 and 700S electric mountain bikes in the large size weigh 24.5 kg (~54.0 lbs) and 26.7 kg (~58.9 lbs), respectively. The models will be available in four sizes, from small to extra large. The 700 will launch in Germany at the end of May for €2,499 (~US$2,719).
