Select your ride

For all our mountain biking trips we have full suspension or hardtail bikes available to hire.

Included in the hire cost is an accidental damage waiver which covers accidental damage to the bike that may occur during the trip.

You can choose from 2 different types of bike, each of which is available for anyone on our mountain biking holidays and come in a full range of sizes to fit every rider.

Full Suspension – Fuel EX 7
Hardtail – X-Caliber 9

Please note that due to high demand and limited supply you may be offered an alternative Full Suspension or Hardtail bike, depending on availability. The alternative bike will however match the specs of our main fleet and cost the same to hire.

Pricing Read More

Full Suspension – £365 (Bike Across Scotland is £315)
Hardtail – £245 (Bike Across Scotland is £200)

Payment for bike hire will be added to your final balance, due 8 weeks prior to departure.

From my first experience with Wilderness Scotland, I would say the company's trips provide both an extremely comfortable and relaxed holiday and one that provides a wonderful experience of the Scottish islands. I have already booked another holiday with them next year....
