(Learn how and when to remove this message)

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 children's bikes, folding bikes and some bicycle accessories.^[3]
