Our gravel bikes
Try out gravel bikes from Origine Cycles across our destinations
You won’t be disappointed by the bikes you’ll ride on our expeditions as we’ve chosen Origine as our bike partner for our 100% gravel trips.
Origine is a French bike manufacturer who make 100% customisable, high-end bikes for the most discerning and passionate cyclists. Their bikes are particularly polyvalent, prioritising comfort AND performance. That’s not all, all the bikes are designed, painted and assembled by Origine’s experts at their factory in the north of France.
OUR PEDAL AND ELECTRIC GRAVEL BIKES
You’ll have the choice between the GRAXX (8.2kg) and the HELP eGravel (12kg) on all our expeditions. The GRAXX carbon gravel bike has been repeatedly voted bike of the year and the HELP is the all new eGravel that is definitely to be tryed!
We’ve chosen these bikes specifically for our trips as they are light, responsive and polyvalent, making them ideal for the terrain we’ll encounter.
Equally at ease on the road as on the trails, they smooth out the ride thanks to their frame construction. A geometry specifically designed for comfort and handling, coupled with 40mm tyres, makes for bikes that can handle the most challenging terrain you can throw at it.

MUSCLE POWER OR ELECTRIC HELP?
Riding longer distances over back to back days and enabling cyclists with different fitness levels to ride together… that’s what an eBike is all about! Our eGravel bikes are available in most of our destinations, they are amongst the lightest and most responsive on the market and they are sure to thrill you!
And if you’re still unsure, an eBike doesn’t always make it easy. You’ll still need to press on the pedals, be ready to puff a little and enjoy the physical side of our adventures too!
