Elodie Robert combines sporting ambition with a deep love for long days on the bike. In ultra-cycling, she has built an impressive record in a short period of time, winning every event she has entered in the women’s classification so far. These include Tour des Stations 2023, Les Géants 2024, La Cinq Terre 2025, as well as UBF Vosges and Jura. Distances ranging from 500 to 1500 kilometres and demanding elevation profiles have already become her natural terrain.

Her most defining sporting moment, however, was her victory at the Tour des Stations Ultrafondo 2022 over 250 kilometres and 8,800 metres of elevation gain. It was a result she had not expected herself, as before the race she was mostly worried about making the time limits. That made the experience even more intense. The final climb in particular, accompanied by camera motorbikes, remains unforgettable for her to this day.

Her path into ultra-cycling began in 2022 with inspiration rather than a concrete plan. Together with a friend, she watched Jana Kesenheimer’s film Three Peaks and in Between and immediately knew that she wanted to experience something like that herself. One year later, that idea had become reality. Since then, she has steadily established herself in the scene and found her own way of approaching the sport.

Despite all her race results, Elodie’s most meaningful experiences on the bike are not necessarily found in competition. What matters most to her are shared bikepacking trips, such as riding from Freiburg to the Dolomites or from Freiburg to the Mediterranean. Days filled with many kilometres, but also with time for connection, landscapes, and truly experiencing the journey. It is exactly this combination of sporting challenge and genuine enjoyment that defines cycling for her.

Cyclite fits Elodie because the products perfectly support her bikepacking philosophy. Plenty of storage space to carry exactly what is needed in a smart way, combined with a lightweight setup that does not compromise her sporting ambitions. For her, that balance is essential. Travelling as minimally as possible without giving up functionality or efficiency.

Mindset: “Just ride. Fast or slow, it does not matter. Just ride, avoid the flat sections, and enjoy life.”
