BTWIN TILT 120 FOLDING BIKE REVIEW | £199 😮

[@kewlattidude1]

Did nearly 1000 kms on this in 2 months... perfect bike... I was so skeptical about the folding aspect, however this bike surprised me with all the aspects I was worried about..it runs just like a big bike..it can be slightly tough climbing steep slopes compared to big bikes, everything else is superrrree Unfolding takes literally 10 seconds Folding takes approx 30 seconds... for me

[@EatCycleRepeat]

Thats incredible man! 1000km's is an awesome achievement. We really didn't know what to expect given the price of the bike but it really is solid and durable and goes quicker than you think it will. Unfolding and folding is exactly as you say, easy when you've done it a few times. We really like this bike and look forward to many adventures on it.

[@SnippetBucketTechnologies]

I own this just few days ago. It cost 280 $ in India. Bike is most fentastic and portable and love to drive.

[@adamlibrizzi6229]

Hilariously the 2 bikes you've reviewed, are the 2 exactly I own, down to the colour! I've had this foldable bike (Lewis Cafoldy), since September 2019, and have ridden over a thousand kms on it. Have done way more kms than a commuter bike should, and it's lasted so long. The acceleration on this guy is amazing - if feels like a really nice ride. Perfect for a run around bike and honestly, 25+ km cycles, consistently won't be too much for it. Make sure to service it maybe 6 months in, keep an ear out for sounds or wear and tear, chain lubricant (like £5 ) worth the investment and you'll get a heap out of this bike.

[@EatCycleRepeat]

Wow! Thats spooky! Haha. That's amazing to hear that the foldy is so durable. It does feel like a plucky little bike that we would love to tour somewhere like Belgium or The Netherlands on. We'll definitely do the service on it and keep it maintained, we've been really impressed so far.

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

When it first came out. Dint like the design as it looked very futuristic and modern making me think that it might not look as nice after few years, but since I found out that it’s made of hi ten steel frame ( which Iam a massive fan ) I started to accept it and really thinking of buying especially its from a local shop not online. Dig it and yes to steel frame bikes

[@renedohan]

I dont get you .. found online its the worst steal frame you can get :)

[@kanikasingh889]

I saw a video in which a lady packs the brompton in ikea dimpa bag,I wonder if this is bigger folded or the same 🤔

[@kanikasingh889]

Here in India, a brompton is very very expensive...so thinking of this,Btwin are good bikes just want to make sure its nice and compact,of course it can beat the brompton anyways but atleast in budget and solves the purpose. Please share if its a good buy 🙂

[@EatCycleRepeat]

It does well on various terrains so I think its a good purchase overall, just needs a bit of attention here and there.

[@windshieldraindrops8228]

Bought from Decathlon. I have also ridden a Brompton in Delhi...no difference observed. Just as good quality

[@andreluissoriano]

Is the bike still good today for you?

[@micks61]

That looks a proper bargain - Decathlon do some very good gear indeed (I'm wearing 3 items of clothing from them right now...). It'll be interesting to see how this bike shapes up over time.

[@EatCycleRepeat]

Absolutely Mick! Decathlon are superb for cycling gear. So far this bike has performed brilliantly over 20-30 miles so long may it continue 🙏🏻

[@ConstantXplorer]

I'm getting one in that color exactly. They've sold out of them quite fast. Popular bike for sure.

[@EatCycleRepeat]

The colour looks great, good choice! Hopefully they do come back into stock as they are really good for the price.

[@Nein01]

how does the front light work (the one integrated into the frame, if that is in fact a light)? is it powered by the wheels? is it rechargeable? or does it require batteries?

[@EatCycleRepeat]

It requires batteries I believe.

[@stephenc6648]

The thing that looks like a front light is just a reflector. I think Decathlon sell lights that fit but I haven't investigated. The lights that come with the bike look like pound shop specials.

[@evullo]

Hi, great video thank you for sharing. Have you published the folding/unfolding/riding video yet?

[@EatCycleRepeat]

Thank you! I'm in the process of moving house at the moment so hopefully soon!

[@markdoughty8780]

Thanks, but, how do they compare to a Brompton? It's a fraction of the price of a new Brompton, but, is it also a fraction of the (Brompton) bike too?

[@windshieldraindrops8228]

This bike runs operates as if Brompton made it and rebranded for better sales

[@AmanBhimani]

Do you know what’s the main difference between the 120 and the 500 version?

[@EatCycleRepeat]

I haven't seen the 500 version to be honest but the 120 is doing great so far!

[@AmanBhimani]

@@EatCycleRepeat ah okay thanks! Seems like the difference is the 120 is steel and 500 is aluminum frame. Maybe lighter. And also different brakes/gear set?

[@thunderc45]

120 is steel, 500 is Aluminium Alloy also 6 Vs 8 gears

[@dirtyharry5957]

Whats the max user weight on this bike. The seat post looks good and strong

[@Africa1000]

100kg

[@ellawittnebel3425]

It is an amazing product

[@foreveryoung999]

Which gear shall I use for least friction?

[@julianzenelaj4432]

How can i turn on the front light pleasee

[@marcinrzepa5183]

Hiya Thanks for video, one question tho do you have an idea how much is maximum weight for a rider on this bike please

[@msc2036]

155-185 cm < 100kgs 😊

[@kanikasingh889]

How has the bicycle been so far? Is more bigger than brompton?

[@EatCycleRepeat]

It's been ok for 3-5 mile journeys but finding it needs a good lube up on the chain quite often and the gears can be a little temperamental. I think its bigger than the brompton when folded.

[@bonzobanana1]

Only thing I can see as a bit of a negative is the lack of height adjustment for the handlebars so this will limit the range of people who can use the bike but I guess some may not mind having high handlebars but its not a ideal bike fit. What is the weight limit on the bike? I know it used to be 100kg total load so leaves about 85kg for the rider but wondered if it had changed. A lot of folding bikes have disappeared from retailers in recent times, Argos did a brilliant model for £150 but I'm not sure if there has been any stock for a while, a Cross model I think. Decent aluminium frame, Shimano components and height adjustable handlebars but generally prices have shot up at other retailers with pandemic pricing.

[@EatCycleRepeat]

That’s true and Boardmans sizing does lean towards the taller rider. Perfect for me but others could find this an issue.

[@paulhunter123]

ive just got one of these whats the cap on the front for i thought it was a light

[@EatCycleRepeat]

I believe that it's a reflector.

[@jianizzledrizzle666]

I have this bike in fact im going to ride later just waiting for the rain to stop

[@oliviacampbell733]

Hey how much does this bike weigh?

[@EatCycleRepeat]

I'd say around 14kg, it's easy enough to carry it down some stairs or off a train for example.

[@ShantiSwaroopPrabhakar]

do you know what the tyres are like - I mean does it need a pump every now and then..and what is the puncture proof/performance in your experience? thanks

[@EatCycleRepeat]

Not been out on it all that much but the puncture proofing has been fine so far. They are quite thick, robust tyres so can withstand heavy usage I would say. They have stayed pumped up so far too.

[@ShantiSwaroopPrabhakar]

@@EatCycleRepeat thanks. I have just ordered mine. :)

[@EatCycleRepeat]

@@ShantiSwaroopPrabhakar Brilliant! I hope it serves you well, its a great little bike.

[@marekwojdak7758]

Cool !Sehr gut !🍺

[@hobocyclist]

cool bike! its easier and cheaper to buy a bike in a bigger country, here in Nz it is expensive and difficult to find!

[@EatCycleRepeat]

Thanks Andy! It's a quick little bike and does the job, hopefully when restrictions end I can tour on it. I remember you saying that you bought your bike in London.

[@hobocyclist]

@@EatCycleRepeat the bike we got in London was shipped from Czech Republic from some online shop that no longer exists. i have toured around London, Brighton, Surrey, the cycle paths are good, also Windsor, Reading, Kent.. Riding in England is pretty good from what ive seen!

[@EatCycleRepeat]

The biking in those areas is quality I just wouldn’t risk an expensive bike in central London with the rate of thefts.

[@tavstudios4520]

kkkkk i have tath bike

[@fersaherez2128]

stock wheels are so bad... even a small thorn is enough to burst it

[@stephenc6648]

I had a puncture the second time I used mine. To be fair, it was caused by a huge thorn which needed pliers to remove. I took the opportunity to replace the inner tube with one of Decathlon's own slime-filled ones.
