Carbon Gravel Bike Rental - M Size - Pulsium
Are you between 1.65m and 1.75m tall and want to explore Annecy in a different way — between roads, forest paths and trails? Our size M gravel bike is made for you! Versatile, comfortable and ready for adventure: helmet and repair kit included, route advice provided.
Description
Takamaka's medium-sized gravel bike offers total freedom around Annecy! Neither purely a road bike nor a mountain bike, the gravel bike is the ideal tool for those who want to alternate between asphalt and trails: a tour of the lake on the cycle path, a climb to the alpine pastures via forest roads, an exploration of the trails in the Bauges massif… The gravel bike opens doors that the road bike cannot cross.
Comfortable thanks to its wider tires, maneuverable on all terrains, and capable enough for mountain passes, gravel bikes are perfect for both beginners looking for a leisurely ride and more experienced riders seeking adventure. Our team will adjust your bike to your body type and recommend the perfect routes based on your skill level and preferences—roads, trails, or a mix of both!

What exactly is a gravel bike ?
A gravel bike is a versatile bicycle designed for riding on both paved roads and unpaved paths, forest trails, or tracks. More comfortable than a road bike thanks to its wider tires, it's ideal for exploring the Annecy region without being limited to asphalt.
Do you need to be an experienced cyclist?
No — gravel bikes are accessible to all levels. Their more comfortable riding position and wider tires make them more forgiving than pure road bikes. They're suitable for beginners who want to explore at a leisurely pace as well as experienced cyclists looking for adventure.
What is included in the rental ?
A size M gravel bike, helmet, repair kit (inner tube + tire levers), pump, bottle cage, and route advice from the team. Everything you need for a worry-free ride.
Are clipless pedals available?
Yes, we have clipless pedals in stock (Look and Shimano) — just mention it when you book. If you have your own shoes and pedals, bring them along: we'll fit them for free.
