Baumier B01: Quebec’s First High-Performance Bicycle Hits the Market

Baumier B01

Montreal-based company Baumier today announces the official market launch of its very first complete bicycle: the B01. Designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in the Marché Central district, this allroad bike combines the performance of carbon with the durability of titanium to deliver a riding experience that is both high-performing and responsibly built. By positioning itself as truly made in Montreal, Baumier becomes the only company in Canada to locally design and manufacture both high-end carbon frames and carbon wheels (road and gravel), following the launch of its wheel lineup last year.

The B01 is now available on Baumier’s website and through select retailers across Quebec, including in Montreal, Quebec City, and Bromont, with a Toronto rollout planned in the near future.

After several years of development, trials, and in-house testing, I’m proud to see the B01 come to life and finally share it with cyclists. This project, driven by our team of eight, reflects a distinctive approach rooted in craftsmanship, innovation, and environmental responsibility. Ultimately, Baumier is not trying to reinvent the bicycle, but to rethink our relationship with manufacturing, performance, and time. To us, true performance is something that endures, that respects, and that creates connection.” – Benjamin du Haÿs, Founder of Baumier

A Responsible Approach, Grounded in Durability

Designed to stand the test of time and evolve with its rider, the B01 reflects a philosophy where performance and responsibility go hand in hand. Every bike comes with a lifetime warranty and is built with repairability in mind, underscoring Baumier’s commitment to more ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices.

To meet these standards, Baumier developed its own proprietary manufacturing technology, derived from a high-performance process used in the composites industry: Resin Flow Composite (RFC). The result of over eight years of engineering, this process enables an optimal balance of lightness, strength, and zero-waste production, while maintaining the highest performance standards. The B01 frame is constructed from carbon tubes produced using this technology, paired with 3D-printed titanium lugs, creating a structure that is both high-performing, durable, and repairable.

The B01 is available in three configurations, Hors-Catégorie, Lifetime, and Timeless, each offering specific customization options. All models come equipped with Baumier’s in-house wheels, delivering a fully integrated riding experience designed and assembled in the company’s workshops.

Launch Events Across Canada

To celebrate the release of the B01, the Baumier team will travel from city to city by bike, hosting exclusive events where cyclists can discover the model firsthand.

  • Montreal – April 10, 5:00–7:00 PM – Siboire Notre-Dame
  • Quebec City – Early May, time and location TBC
  • Toronto – May 30–31 – Étape 22

These events will give participants the opportunity to experience the B01 in person, meet the Baumier team, and engage with the brand in a welcoming and inspiring environment.
