Chic-Chocs 3
”The bike became not only a workhorse but also, it was a joy to ride. With its faster-than-average speeds and snappy handling it quickly became my do-it-all bike.” Read the full review here.
Who said a fatbike can't be as fun to ride as a mountain bike? The Chic-Chocs 3 is part of our new generation of fatbikes, offering an exceptional trail experience. Agile and responsive on the climb, stable and fast on the descent, it's designed to eat up the miles on your favorite singletrack or explore new areas on an overnight stay in a refuge.
Its modern geometry, corrected for the addition of suspension, offers even more confidence on the trails. Combining a narrow crankset axle and lightweight carbon-reinforced construction, the Chic-Chocs pedals efficiently in a variety of contexts.
Want to go further than usual? Storage space in the downtube and 18 mounting points offer multiple options for adding equipment to your bike.
* The frameset comes with wheel axles, headset, seatpost collar, frame protectors and UDH hanger.

Product information
We're proud to offer products for which every detail has been thought through and validated.
We offer a warranty that covers the owner of a Panorama bike for life. First of all, should a manufacturing issue arise, this defect will typically surface quickly in the life of the bike. That's why we offer a full 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Then, if an accident, fall or impact causes damage to the frame, you'll be covered by our lifetime crash replacement policy. Simply return the frame to us, and we'll assess whether repair is possible or replacement is necessary, at the lowest possible cost.
Return the bike after 10 days of testing if anything is not up to your expectations. Your satisfaction (and especially your fun outdoor) is at the top of our priorities. See the Terms of Sale for more information.

The story behind
Our Snowy Winters
A log cabin, winding trails through a forest of spruces: this is the typical landscape of our cold winters here in Quebec, where Panorama was born. It’s this unique atmosphere, the Chic-Chocs’ favorite terrain, that Denis Carrier from Studio Folk tried to capture with these beautiful illustrations.
To preserve our snowy winters, Panorama Cycles is committed to making the best possible choices in its daily operations. To find out more, click here:

On The Media
The ride was very stable and comfortable. Much of the route was very soft, dry sand, and chunky two-track. With the 27.5 x 5 unstudded Dillingers, modern HT angle and 1201 mm wheelbase, the Chic Chocs 3 rolled through it all with confidence. I never felt a loss of control in the rough stuff or the need to sit back to unweight the front wheel in the soft sand.
BikeGearDatabase
The bike became not only a workhorse but also, it was a joy to ride. With its faster-than-average speeds and snappy handling it quickly became my do-it-all bike. In saying all this I am happy to report that my mind has been changed towards owning a fatbike and I have set the wheels in motion to get my very own Chic-Chocs 3 to take its place in my stable.
The Chic-Chocs 3 features a narrow crank axle for a fatbike. Panorama says its 203-205mm Q-factor is the smallest possible with 27.5×4.5” tires (depending on the chosen crankset). Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors handle stopping duties.
''From the moment you start riding on snow-covered trails, the personality of the new Chic-Chocs becomes apparent, and it's a world away from the sometimes clumsy handling of a beefy bike: you grip the handlebars of a responsive and agile machine, just like a trail bike on a summer trail!''
