We thought we were closer to our destination, this hut settled in the Quebec Eastern Township forest. Doing a fat-bikejoring outing was a great way to share an adventure with our dogs.
The path taken until then was rather on hard snow, but we suddenly found ourselves in an area where we were definitely the first to venture since the last snowfall.
With our Husky, Loulou, and Rambo, our male Labrador, attached to the Chic-Chocs fatbikes, it was without too much effort that we cleared this zone. About 15cm of fresh snow was covering the ground, and that feeling of doing the first tracks is something special.
Anyone who travelled to a backcountry hut knows this feeling when you finally reach the destination. And we were lucky enough that day that someone was there just before us and had lit a fire we could enjoy.

Taïga EXP 2
Gravel Bikes, Mountain Bikes***2024-03-25 Update. Delivery of first production batch scheduled for early April. This batch has sold out in presale. A second production batch is expected in late April/early May. All sizes will be available. Pre-order your Taïga EXP using the promo code taigaexp at the time of purchase to proceed to the 50% reservation deposit. Selected as one of the best off-road touring bikes by the renowned blog Cyling About, the Taïga EXP 2 is the dropbar version of the Taïga mountain bike. This makes it ideal for long-distance off-road tours and mixed terrain bikepacking expeditions. It was also the bike that led Cory Ostertag to first place at the 2022 BC Epic, and the same bike that helped Marie-Pierre Savard and Cory Ostertag set new record times (FKT) at the 2022 Log Driver’s Waltz for women and men respectively. The Reynolds 725 frame is packed with useful features: adjustable rear sliding dropouts, seat stay opening for use with belt, compatible with 100mm suspension fork, compatible with dropper seat post. The carbon fork has internal cable routing for dynamo hub usage, and all the necessary mounts for your equipment. In addition to slight geometric refinements, tire clearance has been increased to easily accommodate 29x2.6'' on this second-generation EXP. The Taïga EXP 2 is equipped with the excellent GRX 12-speed groupset, and the frame now features flat-mount brake mounts. We offer 2 wheel options as well as an adjustable seatpost option. The Ritchey Beacon 52cm wide handlebar gives enough space for a bulky handlebar bag, while providing excellent stability when the terrain is more demanding. *Frameset comes with wheel axles, headset installed, seatpost collar and frame protectors.1,649$ – 3,899$ (CAD) -
