Finally going to do this in August.
Does anyone know if it is all pavement from Baie Comeau to the Dam?
A friend is going to come along and is trying to figure out if he is going to rent a BMW or a Victory.

Yes - all paved from Baie Comeau to Manic 5. Its a fun twisty road too. When I was there a few years ago the gravel started just at Manic 5. I understand a lot more of the Trans Lab Hwy has been paved since then.

172 is fun and in good condition. The last time I did the 170 is 25 years ago, I can't tell about the condition but I remember it is fun too. I plan to try it this summer.
If you like the twisties, maybe you would not like the 175, it is a higway now.
Otherwise it's not a bad idea if you dont want to do the 138 twice.
Another route would be Trois-Rivieres, then the 155.
