Types of Bike Rentals

Demo Mountain Bike - Adult

A full suspension mountain bike with a carbon frame and advanced components designed for faster riders on difficult trails. Full suspension offers increased stability in the bumps and while descending. Our Demo bikes are here for a hands-on trial to help you find the perfect ride.

Full Suspension Mountain Bike - Adult

Full-suspension mountain bikes offer the latest technologies to bring you further and faster up and down the mountain. With a durable aluminum frame and full suspension you can tackle anything from challenging hill climbs, to charging the bike park, and downhill courses on the slopes. Our full-suspension bike assortments vary by location.

Front Suspension Trail Bike - Adult

Front suspension trail bikes are singletrack-ready and offer a great opportunity to explore everything from the trails around the slopes to the paths around town. Challenge yourself with a hardtail experience on the trails or just relax on some gravel paths for some sightseeing. You’ll find our front suspension bikes reliable to the end.

Fat Tire Bike - Adult

Farley 5 is our best-value fat bike and your ticket to all-season freedom. It rolls over snow, sand, roots, and rocks with the stability and traction of a monster truck on wide, beefy tires.

Path E-Bike - Adult

Electric path bikes are just as fun and easy to ride as standard path bikes, The electric-assist drivetrain will get you to the first round well before even top shape road racers. Includes bike and helmet. Please note that e-bikes must be returned at the end of each day for charging.

What happens if I’m late?

It is important that you pick up your bike rental within the first hour that the rental shop is open.

If you do not arrive within 1 hour of your reservation time, your reservation will become subject to forfeit. If you are going to be delayed in picking up your reservation, please call the rental store to keep your reservation.

We are unable to allow early pick-up the day before your reservation on most bike rentals.

What trails are e-bikes allowed on in Crested Butte?

E-biking is allowed on all motorized trails in Gunnison National Forest. However, these bikes are not permitted on any non-motorized trails in Gunnison National Forest. Please note that these trails are mostly singletrack; because our e-bike rentals are townie bikes, they are not appropriate for the trails in Gunnison National Forest and are best suited to recreational paths.

Are e-bikes allowed at Crested Butte Mountain Bike Park?

Although e-bikes are permitted at the Crested Butte Bike Park, our e-bikes are recreational "townie" bikes, which are not appropriate for the trails. If you wish to ride at the park, we recommend a downhill full-suspension bike.
