What this means for you

A programme built for genuine enthusiasts

No points for purchases. No loyalty card to stamp. Here, points are earned through what actually reflects who you are: sharing your experience as a cyclist with the Materiel-velo.com community. An honest review of your latest kit. A ride captured on video. A Materiel-velo.com product put through its paces and presented to your followers. That's what being an ambassador means.

What we're after is authenticity. Not volume. Content that genuinely helps other cyclists β€” helping someone choose a wheelset, prepare for a sportive, or find the right nutrition β€” is worth infinitely more than a throwaway hashtag. Our missions are designed with precisely that in mind.

πŸ“Έ
Your content has real value
A photo of your bike kitted out with Materiel-velo.com products, a video review of a tested item, a story link to one of our product pages β€” any content that showcases your experience with us is rewarded.
πŸ†
A proper tiered challenge
Four tiers to climb: Espoir, Grimpeur, Sprinteur, Leader. How far will you go? The higher you climb, the better the rewards.
🎁
Rewards worth dreaming about
Garmin GPS, Castelli bib shorts, an entry to the Γ‰tape du Tour, a professional bike fit… Real rewards, for real cyclists.

Each month, missions centred on your cycling life with Materiel-velo.com are waiting for you: posts, product reviews, shares, content… We're as passionate and technical as you are; missions requiring creativity (video, photo, review) go through a quality check. Useful content for the community? Approved. An empty tag with no context? Rejected.

Simulation

How many points could you earn per month?

Depending on your level of commitment, you could reach the Leader tier in under a year with consistent engagement. Here are three typical profiles.

What we expect from an ambassador
βœ” Share your experience β€” a product bought from us, tested in the real world, presented in your own way.
βœ” Give the brand visibility β€” a story link to a product page, a mention of the account, a contextual hashtag.
βœ” Aim to be useful β€” a review that genuinely helps, a video that shows something real, a photo that inspires.
Content (photos, videos, reviews) goes through a quality check. A bare tag with no context won't cut it.

Your content,
our showcase

A photo of your bike on a mountain pass, a video of your Sunday ride, an honest take on your favourite kit β€” all of it has value. At Materiel-velo.com, we're not after influencers. We're looking for real people who actually ride.

Up to 1,200 points for a product video. Because a proper field test beats a spec sheet every time.
🀝

Refer a friend.
Double the win.

Your mate is after some bib shorts? Not sure which GPS to go for? Share your referral link. They get Β£5 off their first order of Β£50 or more. Once their order is confirmed (35 days with no returns), you pocket Β£5 too. Simple, clean, fair.

Β£5 off for your referred friend on their 1st order + Β£5 credited to you once the order is confirmed. No limit on referrals.

Your questions

What people
ask us most

Is it genuinely free?
Yes, completely. Joining the programme costs nothing β€” no subscription, no hidden fees. Create your account, complete the missions that suit you, and exchange your points for rewards. That's it.
Do I need to buy something to earn points?
No. Points in the Ambassador Programme are awarded exclusively for actions (posts, reviews, shares, etc.). A purchase may generate points in certain missions, but it's not required to participate or progress.
How long do my points last?
Your points are valid for 12 rolling months from the date they're awarded. The expiry date of each point is visible in your member account. Make sure to redeem regularly so nothing goes to waste!
How does redeeming points work?
When you redeem your points for a reward, a single-use promotional code is generated and appears directly in your basket. The code is valid for 90 days and must be used on a purchase at materiel-velo.com within that period β€” otherwise the reward is forfeited.
Are my missions validated automatically?
Some missions are validated automatically; others are reviewed manually by our team. Either way, you'll be notified of approval or rejection within an indicative timeframe of 7 working days.
Can I lose my tier?
Tiers are calculated on a rolling 12-month window. If your activity drops off, your tier may go down. That said, with the multipliers in place, maintaining a tier takes far less effort than reaching it in the first place.
Can Materiel-velo.com use my content?
Yes. By submitting content (photo, video) as part of a mission, you grant Materiel-velo.com the right to use it across its channels (website, social media, communications). We will always credit your profile, unless you'd prefer otherwise.
Where can I find the full terms?
All programme rules are set out in the Ambassador Programme Terms and Conditions, available on this site. Acceptance is required upon sign-up.
