Introducing the Polyvalent by Velo Orange—a true jack-of-all-trades frameset that's ready for anything! Whether you're dreaming of epic tours, smooth daily commutes, comfy all-day rides, or gnarly gravel adventures, the Polyvalent is your perfect companion.

The graceful, swoopy top tube of the Polyvalent, known as the Low-Kicker, is designed for ease and comfort. Perfect for mounting and dismounting a fully loaded bike, this lowered top tube also makes frequent stops in urban environments a breeze. For those with limited flexibility, the Low-Kicker offers a practical and stylish ride with modern features and generous clearances—something that's been missing until now.

The Polyvalent Low Kicker boasts impressive tire clearance. With fenders, it comfortably fits 650b x 48 or 26 x 2.3” smooth tires. If you skip the fenders, it’s ready to tackle 650b x 2.1” or 26 x 2.3” knobby tires.

The Polyvalent features star reinforcements on almost every braze-on, ensuring durability and strength. The rear brake routing is internal, with a brazed-in tube that makes installation a breeze—no more fishing for housing!

You'll find dedicated rack and fender mounts on the rear, perfect for all your cargo needs. The fork, with its elegant French-style bend, includes braze-ons for versatile mounting options. Whether you want to attach rando-style front racks, side-mounted cargo cages, or low-rider pannier racks, the Polyvalent has got you covered.

The integrated seat collar adds a touch of elegance to its robust design.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Velo Orange frame without the perfectly aligned fender mounts, ensuring flawless fender installation every time.

Get ready to ride in style and tackle any terrain with the Polyvalent!

Low Kicker

Right now my beautiful bike is at the bike shop getting built. Hopefully, it will be done this week. Can’t wait to go for a ride.

Nice geometry for the mixte version.
These were invented by the French firm MERAL. (https://forum.tontonvelo.com/viewtopic.php?t=11999)

I have to admit, I wasn’t sold on the color but now I know it’s going to turn heads and elicit admiration in a world of boring grays, blacks, and whites. Long graceful seatstays and chainstays and a relaxed central frame. It’s a beautiful frame and worth every penny!

Very nice metal!

It presented a few surprizes on build up because I am used to classic road bikes but frame configuration will keep this senior rider riding longer.

Pretty spectacular

The bike is light weight and beautiful. Really the best of both worlds.
