Polyvalent by Velo Orange: The Ultimate Fun Machine
Introducing the Polyvalent by Velo Orange—a a classically styled modern frameset that's ready for anything! This versatile ride is perfect for epic tours, smooth daily commutes, comfy all-day rides, and gnarly gravel adventures. The Polyvalent is your go-to companion for all terrains, making every journey a blast. It’s no wonder it’s a shop favorite amongst our staff!
Key Features:
-
Tire Clearance: This frame boasts some seriously impressive tire clearance. With fenders, you can rock 650b x 48 or 26 x 2.3” smooth tires. Without fenders, it’s ready to tackle 650b x 2.1” or 26 x 2.3” knobby tires, making it hot for any kind of ride.
-
Durability & Strength: Featuring star reinforcements on nearly every braze-on, the Polyvalent ensures durability and strength. The internal rear brake routing with a brazed-in tube makes installation a breeze—no more fishing for housing!
-
Mounting Options: You'll find dedicated rack and fender mounts on the rear, perfect for all your cargo needs. The fork, with its elegant French-style bend, includes braze-ons for versatile mounting options. Attach rando-style front racks, side-mounted cargo cages, or low-rider pannier racks—this bike is as cool and versatile as it gets.
-
Elegant Design: The seatstays gracefully wrap around the integrated seat collar, coming together almost to a point. This adds a touch of elegance to its robust design. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Velo Orange frame without perfectly aligned fender mounts for flawless installation.
-
Ride in Style: Painted in a metallic glacier, the Polyvalent not only performs incredibly but also looks fresh and hot on the road.
