Frame

The frame is the skeleton of the bike, its basic structure. Generally made of steel, aluminum, carbon or titanium, it forms the main framework to which all other components are attached. Its shape and size vary according to the type of bike (mountain bike, road, city, BMX...) and its intended use. The frame largely determines the bike's comfort, performance and handling. It supports the rider's weight and absorbs some of the shocks and vibrations during your outings, whether in the mountains or in the city. There are different types of frame, such as the sloping top tube, which offers greater flexibility and comfort, or the classic straight frame, synonymous with rigidity and performance. Frame design is not just a question of aesthetics: it influences weight distribution, riding position and even aerodynamics. Choosing the right frame is like choosing a good travelling companion: it must be adapted to your morphology, your needs and your adventures. It's essential to choose the right frame to guarantee an optimal cycling experience.

So, whether you're an extreme racer or a Sunday stroller, the frame is the key piece that will define the character of your bike. A good frame can turn a simple outing into a memorable adventure, while a poorly adapted frame can quickly become a hindrance to your enjoyment. So when buying a bike, pay particular attention to this part, as it's the heart of your ride, the one that will carry your dreams of freedom on two wheels.
