Employee Spotlight: Vincent, Manager of the Mont-Tremblant Store

In our employee spotlight series, meet the people who bring the passion for cycling to life at Bicycles Quilicot. Today, we introduce Vincent, manager of our Mont-Tremblant location, a mountain biking enthusiast who loves the region’s trails.

Background and Experience

“ Hi, my name is Vincent! I’m the manager of the Mont-Tremblant store and I’ve been with Quilicot since January 2023. ”

Cycling Practice

“ I mainly ride mountain bikes — it’s my way to unwind and enjoy the beautiful Tremblant region. Ever since I was a kid, I was exploring ATV trails filled with roots and rocks, and step by step, I’ve kept that same passion I had as a young boy.

Of course, post-ride tailgates make those moments even better — a good burger and a cold beer in hand, that’s what mountain biking is all about! ”

Your Bike and Why You Love It

“ The Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL… seriously, it’s a gem.

We’re talking about a super lightweight bike with assistance up to 75 Nm with the latest update. Yes, 75 Nm on an SL. It delivers serious power without ever taking away the fun — and that’s what’s impressive.

You really keep that “acoustic bike” feeling… but with a little angel in the motor giving you wings on steep, technical climbs. The result? You reach the top without being destroyed — and you still have the energy to send it on the descent.

The Instinct’s geometry fits our local trails perfectly. It’s stable at speed, playful enough for technical riding — overall, it just makes you want to ride longer… and harder.

I ride the BC Edition with a GX AXS drivetrain. Honestly, it’s top-notch. Precise, wireless shifting — zero stress.

Seriously, it’s one of the few SL e-bikes where you almost forget you’re on an electric bike… until the climb reminds you that you’ve got a little advantage. ”

Cycling Essentials

“ Obviously, like a car, a bike needs good tires! That’s why Continental Kryptotal tires are my number one choice. The grip is phenomenal and the durability is impressive!

Next, mud and mountain biking go hand in hand — so you need to take care of your ride. A good Muc-Off cleaner is a no-brainer when you get home to properly clean your bike!

Finally, it gets hot when you ride, you get dirty, and you want to stay comfortable. What’s worse than a soaked cotton t-shirt after 10 minutes? It sticks, it smells… nope! So a DHaRCO shirt is perfect — you keep a fun look while staying super comfortable and dry! ”

Vincent’s Recommendation

“ Here in Mont-Tremblant, we’re lucky to have over 60 km of perfectly maintained trails accessible to everyone. From beginner-friendly rides to very challenging ones, there’s something for everyone!

Then of course, the classics: Vallée Bras-du-Nord, Sentier du Moulin… you know the rest — and if you don’t, come discover them!

So now that you know me inside out, come say hi in-store — whether you’re shopping for your next bike or just stopping by for a coffee at our new location, at the corner of Montée Ryan and Chemin Napoléon. You’ll feel right at home! ”
