The different practices

The world of cycling offers a wide variety of practices to suit all preferences and requirements. The main categories include traditional cycling, gravel, electric bikes (e-bikes) and mountain biking. Each offers a unique experience, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Cycling

Cycling is a widespread practice on roads or cycle paths. Traditional cyclists appreciate speed and distance, for competition, fitness or pleasure. Road bikes are lightweight, aerodynamic, optimizing pedaling efficiency over long distances, alone or in a group.

Gravel

Gravel, or gravel cycling, combines road and mountain biking with bikes adapted to different terrains. Gravel cyclists enjoy adventure and exploration, accessing less-traveled areas with the comfort and speed of road bikes, an alternative way to get off the beaten track while staying on two wheels.

Electric bikes (e-bikes)

Electric bikes have revolutionized cycling with their pedal-assist motor, making it possible to cover greater distances and overcome hills more easily. Available in different categories (city, mountain bike, touring), they encourage soft and sustainable mobility.

ATV (All-Terrain Bike)

ATVs offer the thrill of tackling rugged terrain, from mountains to technical descents. With their special suspensions and tires, they guarantee a robust and stable ride, attracting adventure enthusiasts to explore nature and difficult trails.
