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!
