Bio d’Olivier et Marie-Andrée
Marie-Andrée et Olivier font de leur vie une aventure, au point où même leurs proches ont parfois de la difficulté à suivre leur calendrier.
Du Kirghizstan à l’Inde en cyclo, ils cumulent de nombreux voyages en solo et en duo. Étant guides en tourisme d’aventure, ils parcourent l’Amérique à l’Europe, et font parfois un détour par l’Afrique afin de contempler le lever du soleil depuis le sommet du Kilimandjaro!
Ils vivent maintenant à temps partiel au Nunavik, suite à une expédition de longue durée que Marie-Andrée a faite en 2014: le Projet-Karibu (www.projet-karibu.com). Kangiqsualujjuaq est leur village d’accueil, où Olivier oeuvre comme agent de séjour pour parc Nunavik. On dit d’eux qu’ils ne font qu’un avec l’espace et le temps. Carpe diem, ou saisir toutes les opportunités, est leur devise.
Olivier a vécu ses premières grandes aventures il y a plus de dix ans en parcourant l’Afrique australe à vélo. Ces jours-ci, il se promène dans les montagnes enneigées du Grand Nord québécois, entre la rédaction de deux poèmes et quelques photos d’aurores boréales.
Marie-Andrée prend les vagues qui viennent à elle et se promène selon le remous, une fois à vélo, l’autre en rando. On la retrouve sur l’île de Baffin, comme en Asie, souriante et pétillante, à la rencontre des peuples qui sillonnent sa route. Ses voyages l’ont menée à découvrir des coins reculés de la planète ou à bourlinguer sur le vieux continent.
Ils font maintenant partie d’une équipe de trois; toujours accompagnés de leur plus fidèle ami, Ulysse, un bébé malamute musclé et vif qui aime courir dans la neige.
Notre trio d’aventuriers nordiques partagera leur quotidien influencé par la culture inuit, l’infinie blancheur de la toundra et les nuits d’aurore boréale.

Taïga
Mountain Bikes*In stock, we ship everyday! ''The Taïga is a worthy adventure bike through and through. It is perfectly set up for some trail shredding straight out of the box.'' Read the complete review HERE. In between a trail bike and a multi-day adventure bike, the Taïga has multi purposes. Take it on your local mountain bike trails, or for a bikepacking outing in the more rugged backcountry trails. Our selection of Reynolds 725 tubing gives this frame just the right amount of suppleness and responsiveness, while keeping the weight reasonable. A 67deg steering angle and 75deg seat angle strike a balance between modern and progressive geometry, without falling into an overly radical design. For 2023, we lowered the bottom bracket slightly to increase stability. Offered with a carbon fork, a suspension fork option is available upon request (options starting at 259$). Custom built Hunt Trail Wide wheels for Panorama Cycles with 32 spokes, Teravail Ehline 29 "x2.5" tires and Shimano SLX drivetrain complete the package. * Complete bike ($3599 CAD - SPECIAL 2,999$) * The frameset comes with wheel axles, headset installed, seatpost collar and frame protectors. (1649$ CAD) * The frame only option comes with the rear wheel axle and seatpost collar. (1199$ CAD) * The Rohloff option comes with the Speedhub 500/14 A12 DB PM black, the 180mm rear disc, the shifter and everything needed to install the hub on the frame.

Katahdin
Gravel Bikes2023-08-31: New Shimano GRX RX820 12-speed extended range 10-51T drivetrain option available now. Only a few groupsets available at the moment! 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 Teravail Cannonball 700x42mm tires, as well as the Shimano GRX 11 or 12 speed groupsets, which make for a versatile and efficient bike.2,699$ – 4,249$ (CAD) -
