Technology
Our mission is to make cycling easier for everyone.s

Over the past 100 years, we've seen technology put in place to make cycling more efficient and safer. Here are a few examples: clipless pedals, materials (titanium andcarbon / kevlar composites) for frames and forks, electronic derailleurs, hydraulic brakes, etc…. as well as aerodynamics. All these innovations allow you to go faster and easier. But one thing about the bike has not fundamentally changed during this time:  the crankset .

This crankset is unique
The heart is the crankset Ultime Ti * and it is different. A gear has been designed and included inside to improve performance , whether you are a runner or a simple user. The acceleration will be even faster. It will be easier for you to turn your legs and maintain a higher speed. In addition to the physical gain, the pedal Ultime Ti * will allow you to reduce your heart rate for a given effort. And happiness above all, easier and much faster recovery. Pedaling becomes more fun when, for the same effort, you are able to ride faster. One of the advantages of using smaller chainrings is having the lever arm almost doubled by report at that of a standard crankset. Thanks to this larger lever arm, the crankset produces more torque.

How?  'Or'  What ?
Today, most road bikes are equipped with chainrings from 50/34 to 53/39. The crank gear turns X 1.44 faster than a conventional crankset..For a set of 37/25 trays from thecrankset, ground development is equivalent to a classic 53/36 road bike (37 x 1.44 = 53 and 25 x 1.44 = 36). This crankset has been developed and tested for more than 15 years by ordinary users or local and professional runners.

What changes !!!
Tests have shown that the crankset allows  10.8% more efficiency.
The most direct feedback we get when runners test the crankset are:
- "The pedaling is extremely smooth" In fact, as the chainrings rotate faster than the cranks, the angle of the top and bottom dead centers is reduced considerably compared to oval chainrings and even more compared totraysstandard rounds.
- "The acceleration is incredible"  With an almost doubled lever arm, acceleration becomes much faster.
- "The repetition of accelerations becomes preads easy "  With each acceleration, muscle stress is reduced and therefore it is easier to reproduce high acceleration repeatedly. 
- "Heart rate is reduced by 4-5 beats per minute"  Some of the pros who have tested the bike with the crankset noted that for a given effort of power on circuits / roads their heart rate is 4-5 bpm lower (and insome cases even more).
- "After a long journey, my legs are not burnt "  Many riders were stunned upon returning from a long outing to find that where their legs often hurt (after riding their bikes fitted with a standard crankset), when theygo up stairs, they have no muscle pain.
And there are other advantages for the bottom bracket such as:
  • Small trays, therefore more rigid.
  • The speed change between the plates is done more quickly.
  • On a crankset standard, the distance between the plates is a maximum of 16 D (ex: 50 - 34 = 16/53 - 39 = 16). With the crankset "Ultime" it is possible to mount a 38/23. Although this is a 15 tooth gap, atlookof overdrive, that equates to a 55/34, so a gap of 21 teeth.
Our development process
We really wanted to rethink the bike from the crankset for the rider and hobbyist, we started with a blank page and studied each element of the crankset in order to understand how to reduce the stress on the cranks and make pedaling easier, more reliable and unconstrained. We did dozens of designs of adaptable cranks, gears, and case configurations, adjustable axles, and various geometries to make sure everything would be comfortable, beautiful, and functional.
Our first prototype turned out to be extremely capable, but aesthetically didn't have the look we wanted. So we rethought the aesthetic to create the perfect design and met with manufacturers to find the ideal subcontractor to machine our crankset and gears.
After tireless efforts, we are proud to say that our product, the bottom bracket Ultime Ti* is the best product on the market for the runner or the average user. Not only does it look great. It is of great quality, but in addition, it is above all very efficient.

The "MG Tours" Experience
The best way to realize the effectiveness of the crankset is to test it on one of our bikes to know the difference. You just need to ride the bike for a few hours over varied terrain equipped with a heart rate, speed and cadence monitor to help you see and understand the feeling.
All you have to do is get in touch so that we can jointly organize a weekend of tests.
