Être bien monté c'est quand même la base
Les groupes
Il y en a donc pour tous les goûts et toutes les bourses.
Si tu es un peu perdu, en gros nos chouchous sont les suivants :
Shimano GRX 610 : Pas cher, super efficace et robuste. Franchement tu n'as pas besoin de plus. Envie de plus ? Ca peut se discuter !
SRAM Rival AXS XPLR : Tu as un groupe hyper "technologique" pour pas trop cher. Le montage Mullet est un vrai plus.
Campagnolo Ekar GT : L'outsider. Très bien pensé, ergonomique et fabriqué localement. Un groupe à l'ADN Massacan !
The wheels
We love Miche. The range is relevant, the essentials are produced in Italy, the prices are reasonable and the guys are cool. What more could you ask for?
If you wish, we can also offer you all the wheels in the Campagnolo Gravel range. Levante or Zonda GT, it's as beautiful as it is powerful!
As for Miche you will find an article here which will tell you the differences and the strong points of each model.
We thought it was relevant that the higher up the range you go in terms of groupsets, the more the wheels should follow suit. Now, if you want to ride Rival AXS or Force AXS and you prefer to settle for entry-level wheels, that's obviously possible. I didn't include it in the list of options so as not to weigh down the list which is already quite robust.
Peripherals
For the entry level, we like Ritchey. It is a serious, recognized brand, with a glorious past and which offers products with an unbeatable quality-price ratio.
Ritchey offers semi-integrated cockpits. Basically, the cables and hoses are hidden for most of their travel and are cleverly tucked under the stem before entering the frame at the head tube.
It's almost as discreet as a full integrated but almost as easy to install as an external cockpit. It's a bit like the best of both worlds in fact.
Now if you want something more exotic, we can offer you the Deda cockpits.
Made up of a Superbox DCR aluminum stem and Gera or Superzero aluminum handlebars, they allow you to completely hide the hoses so as not to have a single visible cable.
It's clean, it's pretty and it's very well done.
I made you a little article that compares the different types of cockpits if you are undecided.
If you wish, instead of the Deda Gera or Superbox Alu handlebars, you can opt for their carbon versions. Same for Ritchou!
