A useful Decathlon record is shaped by the sport. A Forclaz sleeping pad, a Kiprun trail vest and a Van Rysel bike expose different options and technical fields. Keep the displayed product ID, selected variant, category-specific specifications, price and warranty source together. Decathlon also publishes a versioned UCP manifest for catalog search and lookup; its discovery metadata is separate from the restrictions in the linked U.S. site terms.

Frame size, material, groupset and the component configuration attached to the displayed model.
Van RyselThese are field groups, not a promise that every product exposes every attribute. Decathlon product pages label a numeric product ID and may show option selectors, feature, specification and material sections. Compare its Forclaz pad example, Kiprun trail vest and Van Rysel bike.
Keep the Decathlon product ID and selected option as separate identifiers
Decathlon U.S. product pages can show a numeric product ID alongside a product URL and selected color or size. Some URLs also contain a variant parameter. Keep those values with their source labels; a URL option token should not be relabeled as the displayed Decathlon ID or treated as a universal SKU without an explicit source mapping.

| Identity field | What the page may expose | How to retain it |
|---|---|---|
| Product URL | A handle-style page path for the product family. | Keep the exact URL, including any selected option parameter, and the observation time. |
| Displayed ID | A numeric ID shown in the product information area, for example on a Forclaz product page. | Store as a source-labeled Decathlon product ID; do not assume it is an external GTIN or variant ID. |
| Selected option | Color, size, capacity or another product-specific choice shown on the page. | Attach the option to the observed offer and preserve the display text, even if the page uses a one-size value. |
| URL variant token | Some product URLs include a `variant` query parameter. | Preserve it as a URL parameter; don't claim its relationship to the displayed product ID unless Decathlon documents that mapping. |
| Brand and model | A Decathlon brand line and product name or model, such as Forclaz MT100 or Quechua NH100. | Use the model to group related options only after confirming the name and source ID match. |
Build category-specific fields for each sport instead of one universal gear schema
Decathlon's product pages are organized around sports and equipment categories. Their public examples present different feature, specification, material and size-guide data. A useful comparison model lets each category retain its relevant fields rather than filling every product with the same attributes.
Scroll to compare →
| Category example | Potential source fields | Comparison rule |
|---|---|---|
| Hiking and camping | Pack or pad capacity, weight, dimensions, materials, warmth or use details where listed. | Keep units and distinguish packed size from in-use size when the page names both. |
| Trail running | Vest capacity, size choice, color, included hydration equipment and pocket or fit features when specified. | Do not treat an included bladder or accessory as a separate offer unless the listing does. |
| Sportswear | Selected garment color and size, size guide, fabric composition and named fit or activity details. | Keep a size chart distinct from a guarantee that the item fits a particular person. |
| Bicycles | Model, frame size and material, groupset or component configuration when the page exposes them. | A same-name bike with a different size or groupset can be a materially different configuration. |
| Shared observation fields | Source URL, Decathlon ID, selected option, current displayed price, status and capture time. | Use shared provenance fields while preserving product-category-specific specifications. |
Preserve Decathlon brand-line and model identity
A shared retailer does not mean a shared product identity system. Decathlon U.S. product pages identify brand lines such as Quechua, Forclaz, Simond, Kiprun and Van Rysel; each line serves different sport categories and uses its own product names and attributes. Keep the displayed brand, model, source ID and category together before grouping or matching products across seasons.
Scroll to compare →
| Displayed identity | Example from Decathlon U.S. | Use in a product-data model |
|---|---|---|
| Brand line | Quechua, Forclaz, Simond, Kiprun or Van Rysel may appear as the product brand. | Retain the source spelling as a brand field; don't collapse all products to the retailer name. |
| Model family | An NH100 backpack, MT100 product or RCR Pro bike can have named sizes, colors or component choices. | Group compatible options under the model only when the page and item identifiers support that relationship. |
| Sport and use | Hiking, camping, trail running, apparel and road cycling pages expose different category context. | Use the source's sport or category as a facet, not as a replacement for technical specifications. |
| Season or revision | A product name may persist while its options, price, dimensions or offer state change. | Retain the page and observation date; verify a changed listing before treating it as a new or identical revision. |
Treat price, offer state and reviews as time-stamped product-page observations
Decathlon pages can show a selected option, a current price beside a reference price, an Add to cart or Sold out state, and customer rating or review count. These values describe the page at a point in time, not a guaranteed checkout total, store-level stock count or permanent product attribute.
Scroll to compare →
| Page signal | Record separately | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Current and reference price | The displayed amount, currency, any crossed-out reference amount and the selected option. | That a markdown is available for every variant or will remain at checkout. |
| Availability label | The exact status shown for the item at the time observed. | An exact quantity, all-location inventory or a reservation. |
| Selected option | Color, size, capacity or chosen configuration attached to the status and price. | That another option of the same model has the same offer state. |
| Rating and review count | The aggregate value displayed with the product page and the observation date. | A technical test result, fixed score or permission to reproduce customer review text. |
| Offer provenance | Product URL, displayed brand and ID, locale or currency and capture time. | That a U.S. observation represents Decathlon's other country sites or terms. |
Keep Decathlon's warranty duration attached to the eligible product category
Decathlon America's guarantee summary lists a two-year warranty on products and describes longer guarantees for defined equipment categories: Quechua, Forclaz and Simond backpacks; metal bike frames and forks; and carbon bike frames. The summary says the complete warranty policy governs claims, so treat warranty as a product-and-category attribute with its terms rather than a universal Decathlon promise.
Scroll to compare →
| Published guarantee summary | Scope stated by Decathlon America | How to record it |
|---|---|---|
| Two years | The summary describes a two-year warranty on all products starting from purchase. | Keep the purchase-date basis and link to the official policy; don't infer coverage for a resale item. |
| Ten years | Quechua, Forclaz and Simond backpacks are listed for a 10-year warranty. | Require the listed brand and backpack category; don't apply the duration to every product from those brands. |
| Lifetime | The summary describes a lifetime warranty for metal bike frames and forks. | Keep the material and covered component scope; don't extend it to every bike part. |
| Five years | The summary describes a five-year warranty on carbon bike frames. | Store as a frame-specific guarantee, not a warranty for the whole bicycle build. |
| Full terms | Decathlon says the summary is informal and the complete official warranty policy governs claims. | Link the applicable policy and check the item's specific terms before stating coverage as guaranteed. |
Decathlon's seller-published UCP manifest advertises catalog search and lookup
The U.S. robots file points to Decathlon's seller-published UCP discovery manifest and Shopify-hosted MCP endpoint. Its instructions direct agents to UCP/MCP for catalog, cart and checkout, and require buyer approval for payment. The public manifest reports version 2026-08-25 and advertises catalog search, lookup and a Shopify catalog extension. These published capability and schema references do not establish successful operation responses, complete product fields, live inventory, permission for automated access or an available integration.

| Published signal | What the source says | How to interpret it |
|---|---|---|
| Robots and agent instructions | The file lists public storefront HTML paths and separate account, transaction, internal-service, filter and query-trap exclusions. It points to the UCP manifest and MCP endpoint, directs agents to use UCP/MCP for catalog, cart and checkout, and says payment requires buyer approval. | Treat this as Decathlon's technical crawler/agent instruction. It is separate from the site's Terms and does not grant content-use rights or demonstrate that an outside service can transact. |
| UCP manifest | The public JSON reports protocol version 2026-08-25 and publishes versioned service/schema references, with MCP listed as a transport. | Record the manifest URL, version and observation date. Discovery metadata is not a test of operation responses or field coverage. |
| Catalog capabilities | The manifest advertises `dev.ucp.shopping.catalog.search`, `dev.ucp.shopping.catalog.lookup` and `dev.shopify.catalog`. | These capability names do not establish complete catalog fields, offer freshness, store-level quantities or an operational connection. |
| MCP endpoint | The robots file points to `https://decathlon-usa.myshopify.com/api/ucp/mcp` for its seller-published MCP path. | Keep the endpoint distinct from the public product pages and from a verified extraction or checkout workflow. |

Decathlon item IDs, product fields and access questions
Is the Decathlon product ID the same as a selected variant ID?
Keep them as separate source values. Decathlon product pages display a numeric ID and may also use a selected-option value in the URL, such as a variant parameter. The page does not define those as interchangeable identifiers, so retain the product URL, displayed ID and selected color or size together rather than treating one value as a universal SKU.
Why does Decathlon product data need sport-specific fields?
A backpack, trail-running vest, skort and road bike have different attributes that support a meaningful comparison. Official pages show category-specific details such as liters, weight and dimensions for packs, size and color selections for apparel, and frame or component information for bikes. Keep source labels and units; don't make missing fields look comparable across categories.
Does a Decathlon product page show exact inventory for every store?
No. A page status such as Sold out or Add to cart is a time- and offer-specific signal, not a store-level quantity. Preserve the selected variant, page status, any displayed destination or fulfillment context and the observation time. Do not infer exact on-hand stock from a general status.
Does every Decathlon product have the same warranty?
No. Decathlon America's summary lists a two-year warranty on products and describes extended guarantees for certain categories, including Quechua, Forclaz and Simond backpacks, metal bike frames and forks, and carbon bike frames. Its page says the complete warranty policy governs claims, so store the item-specific warranty wording and link to that policy rather than copying one duration across the catalog.
Can reviews be used as technical product specifications?
Keep review rating and review count in a separate, dated review summary if those fields are relevant. Customer opinion is not a manufacturer specification or a lab result, and both the count and rating can change. Don't merge review text into a technical field or reuse user contributions without checking the site's terms.
What do Decathlon U.S. terms say about automated product monitoring?
The Decathlon.com Terms of Use page says it took effect November 29, 2017. It prohibits robots and similar automated means from accessing the site for any purpose, and restricts manual or automated monitoring or copying of site material without prior written consent; the terms also limit use to personal, noncommercial purposes. Verify the currently linked terms and permission for the intended method and use. This guide does not grant access rights.
Does Decathlon publish a machine-readable catalog interface for AI agents?
Decathlon's robots file links to a UCP discovery manifest and an MCP endpoint. The manifest, version 2026-08-25, advertises catalog search and lookup capabilities and publishes their schema locations. That discovery document does not establish which fields a live response returns, how current stock is, or whether a particular integration is available.
Do Decathlon's robots rules or UCP manifest grant commercial collection permission?
No blanket commercial permission is stated by those technical documents. The robots file describes crawl paths and links to UCP, while the Decathlon.com Terms of Use separately restrict robots and automated or manual monitoring or copying without prior written consent and describe personal, noncommercial use. Check the current terms and obtain any required permission for the planned use.
