Headed to whistler for Labor Day weekend with my girlfriend. Besides the obvious option of renting from the mountain, is there any good recs for renting/demo’ing a bike from a shop from the area/vancouver/squamish/bellingham? Only planning on riding for 1 day.
Cheers, any good recs I’ll link and buy you a shot at the base lol. 🤙🏻
Evolution in Whistler has been great every time I've been. The bikes are incredibly well kept.
Coastal Culture in Creekside is awesome as well
Look around at what dh bike you want to try. Most likely you’ll find a shop that rents it.
Second vote for Evolution, Evolution maintains their fleet and will get the bike set up for you.
If you're renting a DH bike, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND shopping around for a rental bike that has an air shock. One of the worst days of bike riding in my life was renting my dream DH bike in Whistler and being stuck on the wrong rear spring rate. I assumed the shop would swap coils for me to get me on the right spring rate, but no.
If you're on the wrong spring rate, ain't nothing you can do to make the bike feel better. It's going to ride like doodoo. With an air shock you're never going to get trapped in that sort of no mans land.
Ended up going with revolution. Got a v10 and it was awesome. Thanks everybody!
