We have a wide range of bikes available in store to try before you buy, as well as hosting various demo days. We are an E-bike specialist demo centre with bikes from Specialized, Pivot, Santa Cruz and Transition. We have half fat and full fat bikes across our brands and have a demo route within the forest to send you on to try sizes or motors vs other motors.
With everything from wide open gravel tracks for families to race worthy natural tech, there is something for all abilities in the forest. We have you covered with free maps and fully signed marked trails to make your riding experience the best it can be.
