Questions from the trail.

The essentials about compatibility, stability and pitching your Ventour shelter.

Which bicycles are the tents compatible with?

Our tents adapt to different bike sizes and were designed around gravel and road-bike geometry. We tested drop-bar bikes from size S (about 53 cm seat tube) to XL (about 61 cm). Mountain bikes can work too, although very wide handlebars may reduce space inside.

Can the bicycle tip over?

Once the pegs and lines are tensioned, the bicycle is held firmly in place by the tent.

Can I pitch the tent without a bicycle?

Yes. The tents are not freestanding, but their attachment points make alternative setups simple. Use two hiking poles or suspend the ridge line between two trees.
