How are our products tested?
Before launching a product, we put it through a series of lab tests to check its quality and sturdiness. Our Decathlon ambassadors then carry out real-life use tests to check that it meets their needs. Our ambassadors really put our products through their paces to make sure they are suitable for whatever you throw at them. This close collaboration with our ambassadors during the development process is a real sign of quality.

As its name suggests, a longboard is similar to a skateboard, but is longer.
It has a rigid deck and bigger, softer wheels for grip and speed that make it perfect for fast riding.
