“After announcing the Boreal Pinion a few weeks ago, the Quebec, Canada-based company Panorama Cycles, specialized in adventure bikes, is launching the Boreal with a regular drivetrain : an all-terrain touring bike with a Shimano SLX 1×12 or a Shimano Cues 6000/8000 2×11 drivetrain options.” – Panorama Cycles
“With its comfortable geometry allowing for an upright position and its wide tire clearance, the Boreal is designed for long bike trips or off-road expeditions. Its sturdy frame and fork, as well as its reliable and low-maintenance components, make the Boreal the ideal bike for touring. The straight Crazy Bars handlebar from Vélo Orange adds a special touch to this new model.”
“Several wheel/tire combination options are available: For mixed road/off-road touring, 29×2.0 (700×50) tires will provide optimal rolling. For off-road use, 27.5″ diameter tires, specifically 27.5×2.6, will be the appropriate choice. Both options feature 32-spoke wheels (for durability) and are available when purchasing the complete bike. In any case, mud clearance is ample, as the frame and fork can accommodate 29×2.8 tires.”
“This spring, the Boreal will hit the roads with several major adventures on the menu: you will find it on the Akor expedition, the Montanas Vacias adventure, or on dirt tracks in Africa with our ambassadors Janick and Pierre.”
The Boreal is in stock and available on the website www.panoramacycles.com, with delivery scheduled for April 2024. The bike will be available as a frameset (1,399 CAD), or as a complete bike with various drivetrain and wheel/tire options (up to 2,899 CAD).
