I had the best experience purchasing bikes here. The guys are passionate about MTB, non-pushy, helpful and so keen to help you get into the sport. They absolutely know their stuff! Do yourself a favour and check this place out before you head elsewhere. You wont regret it. Massive thanks guys!

Had such a good experience here that I decided to write a 5-star review, but lots of others have beaten me to it! No surprise, really. I have a new e-bike (bought elsewhere), but the gears were clunky and awkward and several other minor adjustments were needed as well. The service that was done here fixed everything and the cost and time frame estimate were exactly as quoted. Great job! My bike is now rolling as smooth as silk. I love it!

Bought a brand new bike from these guys in 2019 & couldn't be happier. The bike is insane & when I need a hand or advice with parts &/or servicing, Glen & the team are always more than happy to help & share knowledge. Stoked to say I'll hopefully be back soon to maybe upgrade to something even more capable.

Awesome MTB-focused shop. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, who are happy to have a chat about what is best for you without pressure. They're so good that I haven't bought a bike anywhere else for over a decade.
