This German brand, based in Cologne, has started a mini-revolution in the world of adventure bikes in Quebec. Bombtrack’s bikes are unlike anything else out there. They’re made of high-quality steel, titanium and other materials and are specifically designed for long-distance trips over challenging terrain. Bombtrack has sparked a flame within the bicycle touring, bikepacking and gravel communities.

Bombtrack-bike-crossing-river

After 15 years of designing and building BMX bikes, the Bombtrack founders set their sights on bigger and better things by combining their undeniable expertise with their unwavering passion for high-quality materials. Their very first model hit the European market in 2013 and was a roaring success. Since then, their bike collection has grown to an impressive catalogue of over 30 models. 

Even before the words “bikepacking” and “gravel biking” were coined, Bombtrack designers were already working on their Arise and Hook models. They’re as stunning as they are versatile and feature sturdy frames and forks, disc brakes, pannier attachments, mudguards, lights and so much more. This is what sets Bombtrack apart from its competitors: a knack for sensing a cyclist’s wants and desires before they do. They expertly combine their pioneering spirit with their traditional know-how of a good bike brand (balanced geometry and top-quality materials, among other things).

All you have to do is watch this captivating series of videos entitled House Blend to understand why it’s so important for prestigious bike stores around the world (Citybiker in Vienna, PaloAlto Bikes in Rivignano, Woods Cyclery in Lyndhurst and Loose Cycles in Ljubljana) to carry the latest models by this unique brand. 

In Quebec, Bombtrack bikes are already sold in about fifteen of the province’s most famous bike shops, including Vélo Cartel and Quilicot. These shops are passionate about beautiful, aesthetically pleasing bikes that provide unmatched performance.

It’s only a matter of time before Bombtrack’s contagious passion for adventure biking will spread like wildfire across all the dirt and gravel trails.

Using a Columbus steel frame, dedicated carbon fork, and lively 27.5-inch wheels, Bombtrack’s Hook EXT gravel/allroad bike can batter through territory out-of-bounds to other drop-handlebar bikes. Backed by Sram’s 1 x 11 Rival groupset, this provides both the gearing range and braking power needed for extreme riding.

La marque allemande, basée à Cologne, vient d’allumer la mèche d’une vraie petite révolution dans le monde du vélo d’aventure au Québec. Avec ses modèles singuliers, préférant des matériaux nobles comme l’acier et le titane, Bombtrack propose plusieurs montures conçues expressément pour les voyages aux longs cours en terrain inhospitalier. De quoi mettre le feu aux poudres au sein de la communauté des amateurs de cyclotourisme, de bikepacking et de gravelle!

Après une quinzaine d’années passées à concevoir et à fabriquer des vélos BMX, les fondateurs de la marque se sont orientés vers les “plus grandes roues”, profitant d’une expertise indéniable et d’une passion inébranlable pour la qualité des matériaux. Le tout premier modèle a eu l’effet d’une bombe sur le marché européen en 2013 et la collection n’a fait que se développer et s’affiner pour arriver aujourd’hui à un catalogue de plus de 30 modèles. 

Avant même que les mots “bikepacking” et “gravel bike” soient inventés, les designers de Bombtrack travaillent déjà sur leurs modèles Arise et Hook, aussi explosifs niveau look que dans leurs caractéristiques polyvalentes (cadres et fourches robustes, freins à disque, attaches pour sacoches, garde-boue, lumières, etc.). C’est ce qui place Bombtrack en marge de ses compétiteurs : ce flair affiné pour sentir le désir et le besoin des cyclistes avant même que ceux-ci n’en ressentent un soupçon. Un esprit avant-gardiste qu’elle sait parfaitement conjuguer avec le savoir-faire traditionnel d’une bonne marque de vélo (géométrie équilibrée et matériaux nobles, entre autres). Il suffit de visionner l’excellente série de vidéos House Blend pour sentir l’importance de la part de prestigieuses boutiques de vélo à travers le monde (Citybiker à Vienne, PaloAlto Bikes à Rivignano, Woods Cyclery à Lyndhurst ou encore Loose Cycles à Ljubljana) de proposer les meilleurs modèles de cette marque unique et singulière.

Au Québec, les vélos Bombtrack sont déjà représentés dans une quinzaine de boutiques parmi les plus réputées de la province comme Vélo Cartel et Quilicot. Des revendeurs qui ont à cœur l’amour du beau et du bon vélo, avec des modèles esthétiquement bien finis et aux performances haut de gamme.

Bref, il est certain que la passion contagieuse du vélo d’aventure de Bombtrack va se répandre comme une traînée de poudre au pays des sentiers de terre et de gravelle.

À noter que la marque allemande propose par ailleurs une belle panoplie de vélos de route, de montagne et de ville.

Morning rip with @jessemunden_ 🫡 #mountainlifer
Who’s having a multi-sport day?! 😆 @timemmett probably is.
Bruce County is much more than the Bruce Peninsula. We’re here to let you in on a secret: a thriving community nestled in Bruce County’s interior region, just waiting to be discovered. The village of Paisley offers something for everyone, and isn’t overrun by summer crowds.
The mere thought of a cougar or any other apex predator in our midst can turn a backcountry adventure into a psychological test of mind over matter. Luckily, our fears are mostly in our heads and few have experienced a negative wildlife encounter. But, for ultramarathoner @samuel.dickie, it got real. #Linkinbio to read more!
MAG DROP! 🤩
Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day (today and every day)!
Together with our partners we’ve picked our favourite summer trail shoes, in alpha order, for your crush-it summer. #linkinbio
