LA VUELTA DEL MUNDO · NEUCHÂTEL
Bicycles & equipment
The right bicycle and carefully chosen equipment make your journey more successful, comfortable and reliable. We help you find the equipment that suits your plans, destination, trip duration, season and budget.
Which bicycle suits your journey?
Touring bicycles
For short or long rides and journeys with luggage, the priorities are comfort, reliability, efficiency, a well-matched setup suited to your destination and easy maintenance.
E-Bikes
For journeys by electric bike, preparation also includes considering range, charging options, weight and technical reliability.
Gravel & bikepacking
We discuss equipment, comfort and luggage distribution with you to ensure that your bicycle is suited to the conditions at your chosen destination.
Equipment that helps on the road
Saddle, handlebars, grips, riding position and ergonomics: La Vuelta del Mundo leaves nothing to chance when it comes to this essential topic. We know from experience that this aspect matters more than any other. Both the choice of equipment and its precise adjustment can make the difference between a journey that becomes an ordeal and an unforgettable experience you want to enjoy again and again.
Luggage systems
When choosing panniers and luggage rack systems, we pay particular attention to how the weight of your luggage is distributed. The setup should suit your bicycle and the equipment you need, but above all the terrain, road conditions and length of your journey.
Comfort and ergonomics
Saddle, handlebars, grips, riding position and ergonomics: La Vuelta del Mundo leaves nothing to chance when it comes to this essential topic. We know from experience that this aspect matters more than any other.
Tyres and puncture prevention
Choosing the right tyres depends on more than just the terrain (road or off-road) and your destination. We help you choose suitable tyres and explain how to deal with punctures.
Lighting
The right lighting does more than improve safety: it also offers practical benefits in everyday life on the road that should not be overlooked. We will be happy to explore these with you.
Navigation
Navigation using apps, maps or GPS devices: good route planning can make all the difference between ending up on a dangerous road full of exhaust fumes and enjoying a beautiful cycle path. Long journeys and expeditions involve further considerations that you should take into account. La Vuelta del Mundo can advise you on this.
Tools and spare parts
Tools and spare parts: what is essential, and where? What is simply extra weight for your destination? What is useful, and what is worthless? Make sure you carry what you need to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Other travel equipment
Suitable clothing, weather protection, locks, chargers and camping gear are almost as important as your bicycle and its equipment. Rules, challenges and costs vary depending on the country, climate, culture and season. Leave nothing to chance here either: even after ten hours on your bike, there are still fourteen hours in the day when these aspects really matter. La Vuelta del Mundo helps you understand what matters most.
Bicycle and equipment suited to your journey
A short ride has different requirements from a long journey. Your destination, trip duration, terrain, luggage, comfort, ease of repair and budget all influence the choice.
We consider how your bicycle, luggage and equipment work together. The aim is a reliable, comfortable setup, with less weight and fewer costly purchases that do not benefit your journey.
