What Are Our Bicycles Like?
28/01/2025First, it's important to mention that all our bicycles are made of aluminum, all are equipped with rear racks, and we do not offer full-suspension or carbon fiber bikes.
At Cycling the Camino, we select models each season with the best technical features tailored to each pilgrim's needs. Regarding mountain bikes (MTB), we have two main models: the MTB Standard, an Orbea Alma H30, and the MTB Premium, a BMC TwoStroke AL. We’ve also included gravel bikes, specifically the Focus Atlas model. Lastly, for e-bikes, we offer E-MTB Focus Aventura in sizes XS and S, and the Focus Jarifa 6.8 model for sizes M, L, and XL, all from Focus.
The MTB Standard features the Orbea Alma H30, weighing about 13.5 kg including the rear rack. It has a front suspension fork (Suntour) with a remote lockout on the handlebar, hydraulic disc brakes, a Shimano Deore 1x12s, 29" wheels, and thru-axles. This versatile bike is perfect for the Camino de Santiago, especially if you need to switch from dirt paths to road sections.
The MTB Premium features the BMC TwoStroke AL, weighing around 13 kg including the rear rack. It includes a front suspension fork RockShox with a remote lockout on the handlebar, hydraulic disc brakes, a SRAM GX 1x12s, 29" wheels, and thru-axles. This is a more exclusive option for an unforgettable experience.
The Gravel bikes we offer are Focus Atlas 6.7 models, weighing approximately 12.5 kg with the rear rack. They feature a carbon fork, hydraulic disc brakes, a Shimano GRX 2x10s, 29" wheels with thru-axles (originally 45Cx700), and a 46/30 front and 11/34 rear gear setup. This bike is ideal for riders who know what they want, perfect for long stretches across the Meseta, the Ruta de la Plata, and especially the Camino del Norte, where 70% of the route involves paved roads.
Our E-MTBs are pedal-assist bicycles (EPAC), and we offer two models based on size. The E-MTB Focus Aventura is available in XS and S sizes with 29" wheels. These bikes feature a step through frame design and a 625Wh battery. They also include mudguards and quickstand. The E-MTB Focus Jarifa 6.8 is available in M, L, and XL sizes, with a central bar in the frame and a 750Wh battery. The size difference stems from the frame dimensions, as the larger batteries cannot fit smaller frames. Both models share common components: Suntour front suspension, Shimano CUES 1x11s, and a Bosch 4th Generation CX motor.
The batteries on our e-bikes are integrated, and a display is optional during the reservation process. You can also download all your route data to your phone by using the Bosch app and connecting via Bluetooth.
