Distance 45i 2026 – size M

This is the 45i that Bike Café tested this summer. It has covered 2,000 km and is in excellent condition. As it has been ridden, we are offering it at a reduced price: €4,900, as a complete bike. The full review (in French) is on Bike Café.

Committed gravel, ultra-distance, bikepacking: the Distance 45 lets you own just one bike, efficient on the road, on singletrack and on cycle routes. The 45i is the version with fully integrated brake hoses, reserved for electronic drivetrains. The frame is made in the Victoire workshops in Beaumont.

The frame has a three-band finish, paired with a Sample gravel fork made in France, in an exposed flax finish. The rest of the build: Ritchey WCS Switch headset, Ritchey RL1 finishing kit, SRAM Rival AXS E1 groupset with a Garbaruk 40-tooth chainring and a SRAM XPLR 10-46 cassette. The bike comes with handbuilt wheels laced in our workshop, on Mavic MR801 hubs and A1022 rims. René Herse Poteau Mountain 700 × 48c tyres, Endurance casing. Pedals not included.

Size M, for riders from 1.70 to 1.80 m. Full geometry is on the Distance 45 page. The bike can be seen and test ridden at Cartel, place d'Espagne in Clermont-Ferrand.

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.
