A titanium mountain bike for ultra-distance riding: comfort, confidence, and adventure
A titanium mountain bike designed for ultra-distance and adventure
There are bikes built for pure performance, and others designed for durability. This titanium mountain bike was conceived for ultra-distance adventures on varied and demanding terrain, where comfort, reliability, and confidence become essential. Capable of speed when the terrain allows, but above all, able to withstand days of 12 hours or more in the saddle , it's for those who envision adventure as a long-term endeavor, defined by rhythm, endurance, and freedom.
A mountain bike designed for long rides, on all terrains.
This titanium mountain bike for ultra-distance riding was designed to handle a variety of surfaces: smooth tracks, rough trails, technical paths, and more challenging sections. It doesn't aim for radical performance, but rather balance: efficient movement without ever putting the rider in difficulty when the terrain becomes challenging. It's not an extreme mountain bike or a downhill machine. It's a bike designed to maintain efficiency when the terrain allows, and remain stable when conditions get tough.
A mountain bike capable of absorbing variations in terrain while maintaining a real ability to ride fast over long distances.
Made locally, just a stone's throw from our home
In the world of adventure cycling, there are machines that accompany you, and those that propel you . This titanium mountain bike for ultra-distance riding, designed by Caminade , is one of the latter: a bike built for long days on gravel and demanding trails. Made entirely locally, just 100 km from the Velocidade workshop, this bike embodies the perfect blend of artisanal craftsmanship, uncompromising robustness, and natural riding comfort. An adventure machine made by friends, for friends—and for all those who want to push their limits, whether near or far from home.
Ultra-distance: when comfort becomes a necessity
On long rides, comfort is no longer a minor detail. Vibrations, repeated impacts, and muscle fatigue accumulate faster than the kilometers. This titanium mountain bike was designed to protect the body, filter out the irregularities of the terrain, and allow you to stay focused and relaxed, even after a full day spent on rough trails. Discreet comfort, but vital for those who see adventure as a long-distance affair.
As the hours pass and isolation increases, confidence in the bike becomes paramount. Confidence in the geometry, in the stability, in the frame's strength. Titanium , with its resistance and durability, naturally emerges as the material of choice for this type of project. It offers reassuring performance, capable of withstanding the stresses of ultra-distance riding and rough terrain without flinching.
This mountain bike wasn't designed for a single type of riding or a specific format. It's built to adapt to a variety of projects: long rides, challenging trips, personal adventures, or impromptu escapades. A bike for setting off early, riding for a long time, and sometimes not returning until the next day—without ever wondering if your equipment will hold up. Rough gravel, forest tracks, rocky trails, long stretches of isolated terrain: this bike encourages you to maintain your pace, but above all, to keep going when the terrain deteriorates.
Robustness and reliability: an essential foundation for ultra-distance running
The inherent comfort of titanium is combined here with the strength and reliability essential for long distances. Custom-designed by Brice , after a thorough postural analysis and a clear understanding of the rider's goals, this mountain bike is built to offer confidence and stability , even after hours of riding. The frame geometry has been fine-tuned to ensure that every ride is a natural progression , with precise and reassuring handling.
Components, at the service of long-distance adventure
To complement this frame designed for ultra-distance riding, the choice of components was made with the same exacting standards: reliability, efficiency, and range. The gearbox drivetrain was the obvious choice: protected from the elements, impervious to dust, water, and harsh conditions, it offers ideal consistency for riding on unfamiliar terrain, far from any assistance. Combined with a 120mm travel suspension fork , it allows you to confidently tackle descents, rocky paths, and more challenging sections.
The Mavic rims , made in France, were meticulously mounted by Valentin , a trusted friend—a precise assembly, built to last on demanding terrain. They're paired with 2.4" Hutchinson Python tires , renowned for their performance and versatility: fast when the ground allows, yet comfortable enough for rougher trails. Up front, a SON Deluxe hub powers the superb Caminade Lumen light —a powerful illumination for the trails, which also powers the electronics as the miles go by .
To enhance control on technical sections, the bike is equipped with a dropper seatpost , lowering the center of gravity and allowing riders to confidently tackle descents and challenging terrain. The cockpit features a multi-position titanium H-bar handlebar , ideal for varying hand positions and reducing fatigue on long days of riding.
Here, every component serves a single purpose: to go far, with confidence, and independently.
This titanium mountain bike is first and foremost a bike built to last. Designed for ultra-distance riding, comfort and reliability, it accompanies long, demanding and unpredictable adventures, without ever becoming a burden.
A bike designed for long rides, free exploration, and making every detour a unique experience. Because ultimately, ultra-distance cycling isn't just about kilometers, but above all, about freedom.

RICARDO VIEIRA - FOUNDER/DESIGNER/FASHIONIST
Ricardo has long been thinking about reducing his environmental impact, whether through his cycling and running, or in his daily life, having decided to become a vegetarian over 20 years ago. Curious and passionate, he began creating and making his first objects when his grandfather gave him a sewing machine for his 17th birthday, and since then, he has dedicated himself to creating, repairing, and making things with the same energy and in the same direction: simplicity and local production. Convinced that cycling is the ultimate low-carbon solution for everyday travel, Ricardo decided to create Velocidade and embarked on designing and crafting handmade bags using entirely artisanal methods.
