Verdict: If you’re heading out on a bikepacking expedition or planning long, remote rides, the Btwin 920 Bike Multitool is one of those pieces of kit that can make or break your trip, at a highly affordable price.
Designed by Decathlon under the Btwin brand, the tool packs 21 essential tools into a palm-sized package weighing just over 200 grams. It’s compact enough to disappear into a saddlebag, frame pack or jersey pocket, yet versatile enough to handle most roadside or trailside fixes you’re likely to encounter.
Inside the silicone case, you get a full suite of Allen keys (2 to 8 mm), Torx T25 and T30 bits, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, multiple spoke wrenches, tyre levers, a chain breaker, crank bolt tools and even a bottle decapper for those post-ride rewards. Each tool is detachable and easy to use, meaning you’re not fighting awkward angles or struggling with limited reach the way you often do with folding-style multitools.
For multi-day bikepacking missions, this level of self-sufficiency is invaluable. When you’re a hundred kilometres from the nearest bike shop or stuck on a forest trail with a snapped chain, having a reliable multitool can turn a potential disaster into a quick trailside fix. The Btwin 920’s chain breaker, while a bit stiff, is solid enough to get the job done. Its spoke wrenches can straighten a slightly bent wheel and the range of hex and Torx keys means you can adjust bolts, rotors and derailleurs without carrying half your toolbox in your frame bag.
That said, it’s not without its compromises. The short length of the tools can make high-torque jobs tricky, and it lacks pliers or a quick-link opener, which are handy for more serious chain repairs. But for its price, around €20, it’s hard to find a multitool that covers this many bases without being bulky or overly heavy.
The Btwin 920 shines for riders who want one dependable tool that handles 90% of mechanical issues on the road or trail. It’s a smart addition to any bikepacking setup, balancing weight, size and functionality in a way that suits long days in the saddle and remote touring where help isn’t around the corner. If you’re building out your adventure kit and want to spend more time riding than worrying about mechanicals, this multitool is a simple, affordable, and highly capable choice.
