To celebrate the legacy of Motobécane and the history of the sportive DNA of the Motobécane brand, we are presenting the 1923-73 Team Champion anniversary model. The model is a vintage-styled steel gravel bike built from high-quality components. The bikes will be hand-built at HF Christiansen's premises in Denmark. HF Christiansen is the long-term licensee of MBK and Motobécane in Europe and elsewhere. HF Christiansen's approach to Motobécane has always been one of 'Héritage français, style danois' - we hold the legacy of Motobécane high while adding modern elements from the Danish bike culture, which is our company's legacy since 1903.

1923-73 Team Champion has the classic decals from the Motobécane road bikes of the past but has now been reimagined as a gravel bike - the sportive bike type of today. The gravel bike speaks not only to the sportive segment but also to the daily commuter, which is central to the Danish bike culture - HF Christiansen's speciality.

The head badge follows the historic design, and the gravel bike is, of course, built using Reynolds CrMo steel tubes. High-quality steel tubes have always been a part of the Motobécane DNA.

The bike is equipped with a piano black carbon front fork, and you have the possibility to configure the bike with either Shimano GRX400 2x10sp or the all-new Shimano GRX600/800 1x12sp. All of which benefits comfort and performance.
