OBVIOUS is an independent French brand that designs and assembles titanium bicycles. Thanks to its international framing partners and local know-how, OBVIOUS creates titanium MTBs, road bikes and gravel bikes made in France. Designed for adventure and wide open spaces, our titanium bikes are an invitation to escape.

Passion for the great outdoors and cycling

Behind OBVIOUS is Damien, the creator of the brand. His favourite playground is just a few pedal strokes from his workshop in Saint-Chamond (42): the Monts du Lyonnais, the Massif du Pilat... And because he had specific ideas about how he cycled and what he wanted from it, he set about bicycle frame design.

A crazy project! Well, not really... Damien, an engineer by training, has spent more than 15 years with his head in the handlebars working for some of the big names in the cycle industry. It was an obvious choice for him to design his own bike. It caught the eye of other enthusiasts of sport and nature cycles, and so was born the OBVIOUS brand !
