WHAT SIZE VTC BIKE FOR MEN AND WOMEN?
Our women's and men's VTCs are available in 4 sizes:
- Size S, from 1.50 m to 1.65 m.
- Size M, from 1.66 m to 1.77 m.
- Size L, from 1.78 m to 1.90 m.
Are you between 2 sizes?
- If you're looking for more maneuverability and comfort (a straighter back), we recommend you choose a smaller size.
- If you're looking for a longer, more aerodynamic position, you can choose a larger size. If you prefer a more elongated position (aerodynamic position for speed), you can opt for a larger size.
ZOOM ON THE LOW ALUMINUM FRAME... GUARANTEED FOR LIFE!
The low frame allows you to straddle your mountain bike from the front, without having to put your leg over the saddle. Made of 6061 aluminum, for a lightweight, comfortable bike, the frame also comes with a lifetime warranty.
PEDAL COMFORTABLY WITH 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION
By changing gears with a single trigger, the single-plate drivetrain makes life easier... as does the gear range, designed to get you over small hills.
Here's an overview of the drivetrain on our trekking bike:
- trigger shifter BTWIN SL569,
- 9-speed cassette MICROSHIFT H092,
- 11/36 sprockets,

MECHANICAL DISC BRAKES: THE ART OF SAFE, CLEAN AND PRECISE BRAKING
We've opted for disc brakes to make braking easier and more efficient. So you can ride and brake with complete confidence on your men's and women's VTC bike!
CHOOSING OUR MOUNTAIN BIKE MEANS OPTING FOR A COMFORTABLE, DYNAMIC RIDING POSITION!

MIXED TIRES, TO ENJOY THE ROAD AS MUCH AS THE TRACK
Our Riverside 500 men's/women's VTC is equipped with versatile BTWIN TREKKING tires that will take you anywhere, on roads and trails!
We recommend a minimum tire pressure of 2 bar, and a maximum pressure of 4 bar (see tire sidewall for details).
BTWIN TREKKING tire dimensions: 700 x 38 (38-622).
A WORD ABOUT TIRE COMPATIBILITY
It is possible to equip your bike with wider tires:
- maximum size with mudguards Riverside : 42 mm (ETRTO standard 42-622),
- maximum size without mudguards: 47 mm (ETRTO standard 47-622).
We have also tested wider tires compatible with our VTC, such as the City 9 (44-622) with mudguards, and the Schwalbe Évolution TLE (50-622) without mudguards. However, as width can vary, not all 44 and 50 tires are compatible.

The Riverside 500 VTC bike comes with multi-purpose pedals with a wide support surface for better foot support on the pedal.
Your trekking bike also comes with a bell, lights (front/rear) and wheel reflectors (reflectors).
