“The Le Champion climbs well, descends with confidence and never feels dead or sluggish under power despite being noticeably comfortable over the harshest broken asphalt or gravel roads”

Even when reviewed at list price, magazines feel the Motobecanes are incredible values.

When you consider the discount BIKESDIRECT offers on these super quality titanium road bikes; nothing else comes even close!

What size should I order?
Compare the Geometry Sizing chart against bikes you have ridden. In general, bikes with similar effective top tube lengths will fit similarly: Geometry Sizing Chart
Sizing Tip: The Le Champion Titanium bikes have a semi-sloping top tube / semi-compact geometry with a higher head tube, similar to the Trek Pilot or Specialized Roubaix. This allows for a more upright riding position with a bit lower standover height than a bicycle with a level top tube.
