3rd vintage mountain bike trophy

Mountain bikers from the early days, former competitors, champions, collectors... but also young mountain bikers who have only known the 29" and disc brakes, come and relive every 1st weekend of October in Ramatuelle. .

The Trophée VTT Vintage is a fun and friendly ride to be completed on a single vintage mountain bike equipped with up to 26" wheels. It includes three events (XC, DH and Trials) to be completed by those wishing to be ranked.

WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS
Vintage MTB Tour and Trophy
The Vintage MTB Tour will take place on the magnificent trails around the Léo Lagrange center. The route of each loop has been designed to provide maximum riding pleasure, whatever your level or physical condition. A variant will allow the 1st loop to be extended for those who want more. Finally, 3 events (XC, DH and Trials) are on offer for those who want to spice up their day and get ranked. There will be no refreshments on the course, and each participant will need to be self-sufficient in water and food. The same goes for the mechanics, where you'll need to bring all the tools you need to repair your mountain bike (pump, chamber, multi-tool, chain-drift, etc.) and get back home safely. Refueling and mechanical repairs can be carried out in the paddock during the lunch break. All participants must abide by the event rules.
A colorful "Sunn" edition
After Ferraroli in 2025, the little chrome bikes that have so marked the history of our sport will be honored. The event's collector's jersey will be designed by Zoobab himself, and Minimig will be among us! Our Sunnist friends will be delighted!
French Hall of Fame ceremony and Podium
This ceremony will celebrate and induct personalities who have developed mountain biking in France. It will take place on Saturday evening from 9:00 p.m. in the amphitheatre of the Centre Léo Lagrange.
Vintage MTB exhibition and swap meet
A "free" exhibition area is planned for Sunday morning from 9am to noon. This year, Sunn and Commençal mountain bikes will be specially featured in a dedicated corner. A "free" bourse on the exhibition site will enable participants to trade, buy or sell Vintage MTB equipment. The association Génération Mountain Bike will be reselling all the issues of VTT Magazine that we have left over.
Elections for Vintage Mountain Bike of the Year.
All over France, collectors are hunting for and lovingly restoring remarkable mountain bikes that have left their mark on people's minds, and sometimes on history. The aim of the competition is to highlight the finest vintage mountain bikes and reward those that stand out from the crowd. Two prizes will be awarded: - the Jury's Grand Prize, awarded by the experts at Génération Mountain Bike - the Public's Special Prize, awarded by an on-site vote. The results will be announced on Sunday at 11am in the exhibition area.
