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 29×3″ wheels when the snow melts, and you’ve got a 4-season bike ready for backcountry bikepacking trips!
Main Features

TAILORED CARBON CONSTRUCTION

TRIBUTE TO THE ATLANTIC CARIBOU
In 2016, the total population of Caribou living in eastern Canada, mainly in the Chic-Chocs Mountains in Gaspésie, was 140. Today the count is less than 90. This is one of the 8 mammals threatened with extinction in Canada.
When you look at the art from the front of the frame, the Caribou will appear as if he’s charging through the mountain forests. The rider is charging through the path ahead!

Why not buy a carbon neutral bike! Panorama Cycles offsets its carbon footprint associated to its activities.

ON THE MEDIA

“ Voilà une monture qui devrait faire tourner les têtes, non seulement sur les sentiers plus ou moins battus, mais partout où son conducteur pourra le mener!”

“Avec son cadre tout carbone et ses composantes de qualité supérieure, le nouveau fatbike Chic-Chocs, conçu au Québec, est à la fois idéal pour s’évader quelques heures ou pour partir en expédition après avoir été chargé de bagages.”

“Quebec-based Panorama Cycles has a unique approach to their bike graphics, and it’s one we’ve really been appreciating. I think it’s a great way to set their bikes apart from the rest, and so far they all look pretty solid.”

“ Une équipe de passionnés, une géométrie efficace, des composantes de très grandes qualités… agréable à « rider » dès qu’on l’enfourche. Avec plus de 500 locations de Chics-Chocs à Empire 47, nous pouvons affirmer que ce Fatbike pur-sang passe le test haut a main!”

“J’ai été très impressionné par le produit. Si vous n’avez pas encore goûté au fatbike, avec les Panorama que j’ai eu la chance d’essayer, vraiment, vous allez être choyés!”

“Ce vélo est une véritable formule 1 lorsque les conditions le permettent. Le dérailleur SRAM MTB Gx en 1 X 12 était fluide en changement de vitesses lorsque nécessaire. Les montées était tout simplement incroyable et le contrôle du vélo en descente était sublime.”
