At Bike Festival Riva, we spotted this 27.5” Caminade ONE4ALL and had to take it aside for a closer look. Caminade boast this is the only full suspension bike made entirely of steel on the market, with a 100% French manufacturing process.

From start to finish, Caminade develop their bikes in France, providing the highest quality materials with no outsourcing.

Attention to detail on the frame extenuates the high level of care/pride Caminade have in their products, and with all joints welded and rubbed down by hand, you know the frame is rivalling the quality of high-end carbon, plus, weighing in at approximately 3.3kg, isn’t too far off the weight, either. With SR-Suntour and Caminade being geographically located 5km from each other, a collaboration must’ve seemed inevitable, hence why the majority of components seen on the frame are sourced from SR-Suntour. Spotted with new technology, the ‘Unair’ rear shock, due for release in 2016 from the French component manufacturer, the ONE4ALL comes as standard with an Epixon RC rear shock and comes equipped with a not so ground-breaking SR-Suntour Auron front fork.
