B'TWIN is a trademarked brand of bicycles as well as bicycle parts and accessories marketed by Decathlon.[1]

The bicycles are produced by several manufacturers in Asia and Europe. In 2010, a small part of the assembly process was relocated to France. From 2008–18, more than 1 million bicycles were produced in Portugal. They also sold bike accessories and parts for budget prices.

In March 2018, Decathlon said it planned to drop the B'Twin name completely[2] 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.>

At present, the B'Twin brand is used for folding bikes and some bicycle accessories, in addition to the aforementioned children's bikes.[3]

Ranges

B'Twin's product range includes:
