Apollo is the UK’s best-selling bike brand, stocked by Halfords which means 1 in 3 of the bikes in the UK are made by Apollo. Apollo Cycles also make Kids' bikes, Road bikes, and Mountain bikes which come with full dual suspension, and range in price from £100-250.
These are bikes which are at the cheaper end of the scale, so expect them to be heavy, especially with the dual suspension. Regular riders look down at the Apollo range for its cheaper components, but many thousands of second-hand owners have enjoyed these bikes for many years, often for only 10s of pounds.
Reviewers said of the Apollo FS 26 bike that it “had been great”, that the disk brakes were “powerful”, and that it is a “tough, smooth, well-made and beautiful bike.”
To note, the pedals on this Apollo 26-inch mountain bike are low to the ground.

I have just acquired one of these secondhand. I am fast becoming an avid collector of Apollo's - Halford's own brand. Keep in mind Halfords have been procuring bikes since 1930 so they must have been doing something right and have a reputation to uphold. T I'd delighted with this Apollo FS26. Being secondhand there was a bit of remedial work to be done so it is road -ready, but now it is a solid durable reliable workhorse to take its place alongside others in the Apollo family. Yes Apollo are not the lightest of bikes but being steel made you can be assured of a strong frame that's not going to breakup
