Collaboration : Origine Cycles X GravelUp
Over the last few years, GravelUp and Origine have been collaborating to bring you the best adventures on the best bikes. And this coming year is no different - we’re proud to announce our continued partnership to give you the best experience possible.
Origine - THE French bike manufacturer
Innovating for cyclists the world over
Origine, the notable French bike manufacturer, has become synonymous with high end bikes that combine both comfort and performance with the all important good looks. With a focus on innovation and personalisation, Origine has a range of bikes for any level - from those just starting out on their gravel journey to the already converted who demand performance in the most demanding terrain.
Their bikes stand out for their versatility and their ability to adapt across a massive range of terrain, with great handling on the road less travelled, forest tracks and winding trails alike. With a choice of traditional and electric bikes, they really have the ideal bike for practically anybody.
A shared vision of Gravel
Here at GravelUp our mission is to bring gravel based adventures to as many people as possible! Our trips are carefully planned to be both an immersive experience and the ultimate getaway, while exploring some of the most unique and authentic landscapes you’ll find in Europe. So whether you are a hardened adventurer or the flicker of adventure is just starting to ignite in you, you’ll find a trip that perfectly combines sport and exploration with a tangible sense of togetherness that makes for a really unique experience.
In continuing our partnership with Origine, we know that every one our clients will have the right bike at their disposal for all of our adventures.
Gravel riding is for everyone!
Riding gravel is more than just riding a bike - its an outlook and a state of mind. Freedom to ride where you want, when you want. But more than that its a community of people passionate about riding, being outdoors and exploring both nature and their limits rather than performance or competition.
What does our partnership mean for you?
Exceptional bikes - you’ll be riding on of Origine’s high end gravel bikes, if you choose to rent a bike on any GravelUp trip. You can expect comfort and pure pleasure!
A made to measure adventure - All our gravel routes have been carefully crafted by our team to adapt to different levels. So matter your level or fitness we’ll be alongside you to ensure you have the ultimate experience.
Unrivalled destinations - From Norway to Andalusia, via some of the most beautiful and often overlooked mountains of France (The Vosges, Mt Ventoux, The Pyrenees, The Grands Causses, Corsica…) as well as some gems of beautiful countryside (Champagne, Cote d’Azur…) exploring spectacular landscapes is a given on all of our trips.
Join us for your next gravel getaway with GravelUp and Origine!
