TOUR DE QUÉBEC

TOUR DE QUÉBEC

Devinci introduces ‘Tour de Quebec’, where Yoann & Steve embark on a weeklong trip to unearth the less familiar mountain biking terrain of La Belle Province. A journey that leads them to explore the roots of Devinci’s Canadian manufacturing, uncover new trails, and connect with the local biking community, taking in the cultural wonders of the region along the way. An adventure filled with laughs & high fives until the plot takes a sudden turn for the worse with Yoann’s infamous crash.   

In collaboration with Quebec Velo de Montagne, Sentiers Du Moulin, Empire 47, and Vallée Bras-Du-Nord, join Yoann & Steve on this unforgettable ride through Quebec’s scenic landscapes and vibrant biking culture.

Chicoutimi 

The team took an in-depth factory tour, chatting with the skilled workers and diving into the bike-making process. They even got hands-on, attempting to weld some frames! The day wrapped up perfectly with a staff ride and BBQ at Le Panoramique, the local trail network close to the factory. 

Empire 47 

A little rain wasn’t going to keep the guys from hitting the trails. Yoann and Steve crushed the classics like Haute Valkyrie and Nosferatu, and they even got to be among the firsts to try out a new jump trail. The guys met the trail crew from Empire 47 and got the chance to chat and get some insights about the new trail. 

Vallée Bras-du-Nord 

The day began on a high note with Yoann’s infectious energy setting the tone. The morning mission took us to La Légende, a staple trail at Vallée Bras-Du-Nord, where we captured all the shots we aimed for. But then, Yoann, always up for a challenge, went for a gap over the river. Unfortunately, his front wheel hit a hole, leading to the infamous crash. 

Sentiers du Moulin 

Our final stop took us to Sentiers du Moulin, where Steve had the chance to ride the newest trail alongside the trailbuilders who brought it to life. They hit every feature of Professeur X following each others, with Steve blown away by the craftsmanship and creativity that went into the trail. We wrapped up the day with a BBQ and a sunset at Le Maelstrom—an ideal way to cap off an incredible trip.
