Depending on your race format, here are our technical bike recommendations:
For the 1,000 km and the HALF road race, the routes are 100% asphalt. The quality of the asphalt varies and, depending on the weather conditions, the roads may be greasy and covered with leaves, stones, etc.

We therefore recommend that you use the following equipment:

• Recommended road bikes:
  Comfort variant Chiru Kunlun ou Chiru X-root
  Race variant: Chiru Allure
• 25mm tires MINIMUM, 32 or 34mm if you’re looking for optimal comfort
• Disc brakes
• Transmission: 50-34 teeth (front) – 11-34 (rear)
