I don’t know the bike, but it should have 105 hydraulic brakes that are known to be good and reliable…
I looked the bike up and I don’t think the bike you posted is the same, this one is carbon fiber and has hydraulic disc brakes. The one you mentioned is aluminum and rim brakes.
Anyways if you want to buy the Carbon Fiber one, honestly you can’t do a lot better for the price. I doubt the carbon frame will break suddenly unless you really don’t take care of it like any carbon bike or if your bike shop doesn’t use a torque wrench. 105 R7000 is also one of the most reliable groupsets in existence, there’s a reason why it’s called the groupset of the people.
My main issue with tose Decathlon bikes lately is that their prices are comparable to the other manufacturers. You can have Giant TCR for instance, same price, same groupset, but TCR is legendary, and it will be lighter as well. Decathlon used to be very aggressive with pricing, but this is not the case anymore.
