    Mountain Bike Hire

    Select your ride

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

    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.

    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 – £295
    Hardtail – £190

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

    Our holidays reviewed
    in your own words

    One of the best trips we've ever done. For me, perhaps the most inspirational moment was the shared sense of awe as we paddled across Loch Sionascaig with the amphitheatre of mountains around us on a brilliant day. Thank you Kirk, Laura and all the team.
