Gathered in the beautiful village of Saint-Paul de Tartas, nestled in the Velay region, the eagerly awaited annual edition of the Top Vélo Awards has just taken place. This event generates excitement among cycling enthusiasts and manufacturers alike. The jury had the opportunity to examine an exceptional selection of eight nominated bikes, representing the elite of international productions for the year 2023. These machines are a combination of style, innovation, performance, and prestige, capable of fascinating and dazzling. The highly coveted title of Top Vélo 2023 was awarded at the end of this intense competition.
The selection of the eight nominated bikes, including the Basso Diamante, BMC Teammachine SLR 01, Cipollini Dolomia, Colnago V4 RS, Enve Melee, Origine Axxome 3 GTR, Cinelli XCR Disc, and Trek Madone SLR, represents a true modernist manifesto, an inspiring blend of Europe and America, with brands from Italy, Switzerland, France, and the United States.
The jury evaluated the bikes based on four criteria, each worth up to 20 points:
– Design and Innovation
– Performance and Efficiency
– Brand History
– Build Quality
The total possible score for these four criteria is 80 out of 100 points. The remaining 20 points are awarded through the votes of internet users, allowing for a maximum score of 100 points.
Winner of the Top Vélo Awards
The title of Top Bike of the Year goes to the Origine Axxome 3 GTR!
“Renewing the exceptional success of the two previous Axxome models, Origine offers an ideal machine for cyclosport enthusiasts who seek top performance without having to arrive at their favorite Granfondo with the fitness of a Tour de France professional or the budget of a CAC 40 star. The northern brand, a genuine success story, cultivates a distinctive approach closely aligned with cyclists. The Axxome 3 GTR, with its simplicity and style, stands as an existential manifesto.”
