With a heavily sloped top tube and a wide range of sizes (from S: 1.50 m to XL: 2.00 m).The ST 520 mountain bike frame is UNISEX.The ST 520 mountain bike is available with the same frame in a WOMEN'S version: fitted seat, narrower handlebar, shorter stem, fork with a more flexible spring, and brake levers that are closer together.As a WOMAN, if you choose the MEN'S model, we recommend at least purchasing the WOMEN'S SPORT 500 saddle which is fitted to the female form. - Our designers created a frame that's easy to get onto.The CGF frame (Comfort Geometry Frame) EVO is made of 100% aluminium for greater comfort.

Suspensions
front: The 80 mm front suspension helps you get started with overcoming obstacles on slightly uneven trails easily.Easily adjust the hardness using U-Fit technology (weight adjuster). Simply set the number to your weight using the dial on the fork. - rear: This mountain bike has no rear suspension. It is a "semi-stiff" mountain bike: perfect for beginners getting started with their first mountain bike rides. Compared to a full suspension mountain bike (with rear suspension), it has the following advantages: the bike is lighter; you can pedal faster on flatter ground.
You can adjust how stiff the suspension is using the dial on the fork based on your weight (riders over 45 kg) so that roots and stones are easier to get past. This UFIT technology is patented and exclusive to Decathlon. Simply turn the dial!The 80 mm front suspension is designed for slightly uneven trails, helping you to get past your first obstacles with no problems. Its mechanical spring system guarantees reliability and easy maintenance.
