B'Twin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A B'TWIN bicycle

B’TWIN was a trademarked brand of bicycles as well as bicycle parts and accessories marketed by Decathlon,[1] The largest sporting goods retailer in the world[2] with over 1647 stores in nearly 1000 cities in 57 countries and regions (Jan 2020).[3]

The bicycles are produced by several manufacturers in Asia and Europe. In 2010, a small part of the assembly process has been relocated to France. Since 2008, more than 1 million bicycles were produced in Portugal. They also sell bike accessories and parts for budget prices.

In March 2018, Decathlon said it planned to drop the B’Twin name completely [4] Over approximately the following year, the company migrated the B’Twin brand to children's bikes, as part of a branding arrangement that will see new ranges of bicycles, including both road and mountain bikes.[5]
