Trekking bike

What is a trekking bike

Trekking bikes are usually front-suspension MTBs (with only front amortization), comfortable, robust, and versatile: ideal for those who want to embark on a journey on mixed terrain or for those seeking versatile use of the bike, from the city to off-road. They can be equipped with bags on the rear rack, handlebar, or frame to carry all essentials for the trip.

Trekking bike or MTB: which to choose

If you are looking for a bike only for technical off-road, an MTB remains the most suitable choice. The trekking bike, on the other hand, is designed for versatility: city, countryside, mountain, with a good compromise between comfort on long distances and the ability to tackle off-road surfaces.

How to choose your trekking bike

For those new to cycling or seeking a means for daily commuting, we recommend prioritizing comfort first: a wide and soft saddle, ergonomic grips, and accessories such as lights, mudguards, and a rear rack depending on your use.
