Bikepacking - Microadventure

Fatbike trip on the shores and beaches of Baie-des-Chaleurs

Gaspésie! Why should I go through these hundreds of kilometers to get to you? !!! There are these kinds of places we would rather have in our backyard , don’t you think?

Gaspésie is so beautiful with its rugged terrain, crystal-clear water and the beautiful Chic-Chocs mountains. This peninsula is without any doubts one of the most “fattable” places in the province of Quebec and there are so many opportunities to fatbike 12 months a year.

We planned this 2 days microadventure to explore the Baie-des-Chaleurs, more precisely the area where the Cascapedia flows into the bay. We decided to focus our expedition to explore the beaches and shores, which are easily accessible and are also an extraordinary place for a night under the stars.

Without being in very remote area, this expedition gave us the impression to ride for days without seeing anyone. This feeling of loneliness is so valuable, it is at the source of this deep connection with nature and with its elements that we establish during a bikepacking trip.

    Katahdin

    2023-12-14: GRX RX610 12-speed transmission now available in 1x12 or 2x12 configuration. The first generation of the Katahdin has proven itself both in races, gravel events and in bikepacking trips. For its second iteration, the Katahdin gets a makeover with progressive gravel geometry and new features to make it even more versatile. A relaxed 70deg steering angle, longer reach, 75mm bb drop and 430mm chainstays increase the wheelbase of the bike and place the rider in a stable and comfortable position. The goal is less fatigue, and more speed for long outings and / or races. The internal cables for an adjustable seat post, the fork adapted to the use of a dynamo hub, a threaded bottom bracket shell and all the mounts necessary to install bags and accessories are among the features of the Katahdin. The frame is dressed with the Hunt wheels fitted with Maxxis Rambler tires, as well as the Shimano GRX 12 speed groupsets (offered in 1x or 2x), which make for a versatile and efficient bike.

    Chic-Chocs 2024 – Demo

    Some demo units available. All in excellent 9-9.5/10 condition. The Chic-Chocs has proven its abilities over the past few years in endurance races and winter expeditions. Whether it's for the Raid du Fjord, the Wendigo Ultra, or riding with confidence on groomed trails, the Chic-Chocs delivers. A stable geometry with a long wheelbase increases traction and flotation on soft surfaces. In addition, the Chic-Chocs is designed with a 205mm q-factor, the narrowest available for use with tires up to 5" wide. Not to be overlooked for an ergonomic position. Two Shimano drivetrains available with RaceFace cranksets and cockpit. Quality SunRingle rims and hubs (ready for -30degC!), and studdable tires that can be easily converted tubeless complete the package. Throw on some 29x3" wheels when the snow melts, and you've got a 4-season bike ready for backcountry bikepacking trips!

    Boreal Pinion

    ***It's time to pre-order your Boreal Pinion. Use the promo code borealpinion at checkout to proceed to the 50% reservation deposit. Delivery scheduled for April 2024. After conclusive tests on the 2500+km Baja Divide in Mexico and during the TransBoreale expedition (complete winter crossing of Quebec from south to north), the Boreal Pinion bike is offered in a limited series. Each bike will be painted to order, making it completely unique. The Boreal Pinion is designed to carry its rider with confidence on journeys and expeditions around the world. The frame and fork are robust, and the components are extremely reliable and low-maintenance. The highlight of the Boreal Pinion is the Pinion drivetrain. Combined with the Gates carbon belt, it is virtually maintenance-free and extremely durable. The performance of the Pinion internal gear system is unsurpassed, while the wide range of gear ratios is exceedingly large (600% for the C1.12 model - other models available on request) and each gear is evenly spaced. For half-road/half-off-road touring, 29x2.0 (700x50 equivalent) tires will provide an optimum ride. For off-road use, 27.5" tires of equivalent diameter, i.e. 27.5x2.6, are the appropriate choice. The two 32-spoke wheel options (for greater durability) are offered with the purchase of the complete bike. In both options, no lack of mud clearance while the frame and fork can accommodate 29x2.8 tires. *The frame/fork+Pinion set comes complete with Pinion C1.12 drivetrain, forged aluminum crank arms and shifter. Wheel axles, installed headset, seatpost collar and frame protectors are also included.
