I want to buy this "Rockrider AM100 Hardtail" from Decathlon. It costs €1000 and I feel like it has really great parts for the money. The only weird part about it is the asymmetrical chainstays. On the chain side, it bends downwards, so the chain slap is eliminated.
Do you think it is a good bike?
Or is there a better option from other brands that is around €1000?

Yes
I don’t see white not
Looks good from here, even has a dropper post. That chainstay would bother me though also they misspelled bottom bracket on the tech sheet but whatever 😄

Not bad, but you can definitely find better for that price if you search and be patient. Back in 2022, when bikes were really hard to find, and everything was overpriced, I bought a Nukeproof Scout 290 with “better components” for about the same price.
There are plenty of bikes on sale because of the bike industry’s post-covid crisis.
Just stay away from fruits and colours brands.
[Scale 965](https://www.scott-sports.com/pt/pt/product/scott-scale-965-blue-eu-bike?article=290184006) 999€, but it’s XC
I’m not saying the scale is better. Just to add to the specs comparison since i noticed recently scott made an agressive drop in prices for the scale. In fact the scale has headset cable routing which is an extra annoyance for maintenance to say the least. And no holes for downtube cable routing. And no dropper.
Edit: Tbh if it was me, i’d probably put in more 159€ and go for a roscoe 7
Do you live in europe? If so, there’s a cannondale habit HT 1 is going for around 1100 euros on ibksport.com honestly better parts frame and a better brand take a look for yourself.

At this moment mine is in shop for warranty because of Rockshox developed some play in it. But its not problem of bike itself. I like it. I couldn’t find the same alternative for this price when I bought it.
Get the canyon stoic3 or 4, they are in sale rn for 1k and 1.3k
