Distance 25 Signature 2026 – size M

The Distance 25 is our original road bike: rim brakes, a mechanical drivetrain, and the pleasure of riding as its only purpose. This is the bike from our autumn shows, in the Signature build.

The Signature deliberately stands apart from anything you will find elsewhere: Growtac Equal friction shifters, with no indexing, a Campagnolo Ekar GT derailleur, a Record X single-ring crankset and a Super Record 13-speed 9-42 cassette, Cane Creek eeBrakes. Everything is designed for a very sporty, light bike, with the feel of the old days and modern efficiency.

It comes with new RAR Even 40 wheels; the photos show it with the DT wheels from the show. The frame uses the Distance 30 geometry, with Columbus Spirit tubes and very slender Columbus SL seatstays, and a Rouge Mécanique bottom bracket shell and dropouts made in France.

Geometry for all four sizes is on the Distance 25 page.

On request, we can adjust the build (wheels, drivetrain, cockpit…). The model is also available as a standard frame kit, at the usual price: get in touch to discuss it.

Bikes are delivered within mainland France only, or can be collected at Cartel in Clermont-Ferrand.
