Sava Bicycles: A Guide to Choosing the Right Model in Quebec

Sava offers affordable carbon frames. Let’s break down the Voyager, Aurora, Pulse, Blade, and Falcon ranges to help you choose.

The brand

Sava: affordable carbon, designed for riding

You've seen the Sava name come across your path and you're wondering if it's worth it. Short answer: yes, but not just any model for any cyclist. Here's how the range breaks down, and how to shop without making a mistake.

Sava bets on the carbon frame at a price you don't often see elsewhere. The components are Shimano, from 105 to Ultegra depending on the models. Parts that are easy to maintain and replace in any shop in Quebec. At Vélozone, we assemble, adjust, and maintain the Sava. You buy one, you're not left alone with an orphan bike.

It's not "pro tour" high-end. But, the value for money is there. Check out our road bikes and our gravel bikes in the store.

The lineup

Five families, five uses

The Sava range is divided into families. You don't need to know them all, just identify your main use.

Voyager: the versatile family. Gravel and touring. Ideal if you want a bike that handles gravel roads, bike paths like the Route verte, and the occasional paved road. Wider tires, comfortable geometry.
Aurora (Sava Aurora 7.2 DB50): performance-oriented aero. Stiffer frame, slightly more aggressive position.
Pulse: endurance road. For those who ride 60 to 150 km on the road and want a comfortable yet responsive carbon frame. The Sava Pulse R7.2 is a good mid-range benchmark.
Blade: aero road. More aggressive, racing geometry, for riding fast and climbing.
Falcon (Sava Falcon 7): The SAVA Falcon is a lightweight and responsive carbon road bike, designed for those who want to ride fast while maintaining excellent comfort. A true performance bike

One small accessory to note: the Sava seatpost sleeve, to protect your seatpost and frame.

The method

Ask yourself these three questions before buying

1. Where will you be riding 80% of the time?

If it's pure asphalt (roads, paved bike paths), look at the Aurora, Blade, or Falcon. If it's a mix of asphalt and gravel roads (Estrie, Lanaudière, Eastern Townships), you want a Voyager or a Pulse

2. Position: comfort or performance?

The Voyager and Pulse geometry is more upright, comfortable for long rides without back pain. The Blade and Falcon have lower, more aerodynamic positions, but require a bit of flexibility.

3. What's a realistic budget?

Entry-level Voyagers start around $2,600. The Pulse and Aurora range from $3,400 to $5,000. High-end Falcon and Blade models with Di2 exceed $5,000. At that price point, you want an in-store test ride and a professional fitting, not a blind online purchase.

At Vélozone, we offer test rides for most models in stock. Call before coming in to confirm the availability of your size.

After-sales service

What’s different about shopping in-store?

A $3,000+ carbon bike is not a purchase to make blindly online. Here is why going to a shop makes all the difference:

The fit: frame size is just a starting point. Seat height, setback, stem, handlebar width—all of this is adjusted in person.
Assembly: a Sava delivered in a box requires professional assembly. Cables, brakes, drivetrain, torque settings on carbon parts. One mistake here can break a frame.
Service: we know the brand, we have the compatible parts, and we do regular maintenance (tune-ups, brake bleeds, chain replacements).
The test ride: you want to know if the position suits you before signing. It's free, it takes 15 minutes.

We are on Boulevard du Séminaire Nord in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, on the route of the 2026 UCI World Championships, by the way.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Sava Bicycles

Yes, for the value for money. Sava offers carbon frames and Shimano components (often 105 or Ultegra) at a significantly lower price than equivalent North American brands. It's not top-of-the-line "pro team" stuff, but it's an excellent choice for an intermediate cyclist who wants to move up to carbon.

The Voyager is designed for versatility: gravel, touring, bike paths, and pavement. A more comfortable riding position, wider tires. The Pulse is a true endurance road bike, built for riding fast on pavement over long distances. Choose the Voyager if you ride the Route verte, the Pulse if you do 100 km rides on Route 133.

Yes. Vélozone sells the Sava brand and provides full service: tune-ups, hydraulic brake bleeds, chain replacements, and Shimano drivetrain adjustments. Call 450-357-9229 to book an appointment.

Sava is a Chinese brand that produces its carbon frames in Asia, like the majority of carbon frames in the bike industry (including well-known North American brands). The difference lies in quality control and component selection—not the country of origin of the frame.

For a cyclist getting serious about road cycling, the Sava Voyager G6 or an entry-level Pulse is a good place to start. Comfortable positioning, reliable components, and carbon absorbs vibrations from Quebec roads better than an entry-level aluminum frame.
