Victoire is a French company that has been crafting exquisite steel-framed bikes since 2011 in Beaumont.
With a solid foundation of scientific knowledge, Victoire uses only the best alloys on the market to fashion frames, forks, stems, and luggage racks. They blend traditional savoir-faire and cutting-edge techniques to ensure exceptional results.
Each Victoire bike is fully customized, from the owner’s morphology to preferred riding style and aesthetic preferences.
Sustainability is a core value for Victoire, which is why they offer a lifetime warranty to their bicycles’ first owners. As a modern solution against overproduction and outsourcing in the bike industry, Victoire also handles the entire process from concept to construction, painting, and assembly, all under one roof.
They’re committed to producing bicycles that have a low impact on the environment, exclusively using renewable energy from Enercoop, the only French company that offers 100% green power.
