L’endroit : Les Adirondacks dans l’état de New-York, à seulement 2h de Montréal.
Le plan : avancer notre liste des 46 sommets de 4000’ dans les Adirondacks.
Et le fatbike là-dedans? : l’idée était de faire des approches et découvrir les sentiers de vélo de cette région.
Alors, suite à une longue journée de randonnée dans les montagnes Santanoni, nous sommes allés nous faire tourner les jambes au réseau de vélo de montagne à Lake Placid. Le réseau Lussi & Loggers offre des sentiers très accessibles et bien balisés.
Amateurs de bières locales, un arrêt obligatoire au Brew Castle situé à Keene histoire de faire des réserves a été fait. La chaîne de montagnes Seward était la prochaine sur la liste et nous sommes fiers d’avoir finalement pu gravir ces sommets.
Le périple s’est conclu avec l’exploration des environs de Whiteface en fatbike Chic-Chocs, et ce, avec un temps rude et beaucoup de neige sur la route. La descente Poor’s man Downhill fut une finale de mise!

Torngat
Fatbikes***The Torngat will be back in stock in early fall 2021 with an updated geometry and equipped with 27.5″ wheels. Be the first informed of the availability by subscribing to the newsletter. Any questions, please contact us.*** Isolated in northern Quebec, located in the Arctic Cordillera, the Torngats Mountains are frequented only by those who have the real will to face the elements of nature. We do not get there by chance. It is a mythical place that imposes respect. An highly inspiring destination for the Torngat fatbike! We have included in this bike the features needed to make it completely versatile. Among other things, the frame is belt-drive compatible, it has an access for a dropper seatpost and is equipped with horizontal rear wheel dropouts. The Reynolds 725 high-grade steel tubing frame and the light, stiff carbon fiber fork accommodate the largest 26" tires available, as well as the 27.5 x 4.5". High performance and durable components from Race Face and a 12-speed SRAM NX Eagle group complete this machine. All you have to do is leave the house, get on the bike and explore the territory that is still unknown to you!1,349$ – 2,399$ (CAD) -

Anticosti
Gravel Bikes***We are now taking pre-orders for the complete Anticosti bike. The delivery is planned for end of June 2021. Framesets are currently available (Comes with the wheel axles. Headset and seat collar not included.). Frame color for 2021 is honey/yellow, brown is not available. Components shown on the photo differs from the actual build kit. Please refer to the component chart below. Any questions, please contact us.*** When you venture on the less traveled roads of the backcountry, sometimes, the beautiful road becomes much more bumpy than what was predicted. The asphalt becomes gravel, and the gravel literally becomes an off-road trail. It is for this kind of adventure that the Anticosti was created. The Anticosti bike is built with a bespoke selection of Reynolds 725 steel tubing, thinned where it is needed to reduce weight. A generous clearance allows you to install 27.5x2.1 or 700x50 tires with fenders. You will find all the necessary mounts to carry the equipment for a night in the tent, or for a more ambitious multi-day trip project. Do not let your current bike limit your desire to explore. Take the path you want with the Panorama Anticosti. Frameset: 1,699$ Complete Bike w/Rival buildkit and Hunt wheelset: 3,099$1,699$ – 3,099$ (CAD) -

Katahdin
Gravel Bikes***The Katahdin will be back in stock in Spring 2021 with a redesigned frame and a full GRX 600 2x11 groupset. Be the first informed of the availability by subscribing to the newsletter. Any questions, please contact us.*** We love to say that the Katahdin is our cottage bike. You'll guess that this gravel bike is really in its element in the countryside, perfect for all types of roads and paths that can be found out there. An industry first, the adventure composite laminate incorporates an advanced material, XANTU.LAYR ™, to make the Katahdin rock-solid. Learn more about this technology here. The curvy surfaces of the bike have become a canva for the very talented duo of Vancouver-based artists Pellvetica. They sign the visual of the frame, and thus give the soul to this amazing product. A 1x SRAM Apex group, WTB i23 Wheels, Easton EA50AX handlebar and a ton of frame and fork mounts for your short or long outings, makes the Katahdin so much versatile. Note that the cottage is unfortunately not included with the purchase of the bike 😉2,049$ – 3,199$ (CAD) -
