Rent an acoustic bike
We do rent acoustic pedal bikes and the Ibis Ripley AF is one of the best. It is the perfect midwest trail bike. It is light, nimble and climbs the short punchy terrain with ease. When the going gets fast and down the handling feels like a much longer travel bike.
rent an e-mtb
There is good reason e-mtb now dominate the trails. Outside of lift access there isn't a better way to get that adrenaline pumping while flowing through the woods and stopping to take in the views. We have selected two of the very best options on the market. The Ibis Oso is a beast and the Bosch power train is a perfect match for anything you can throw at the bike.
shred longer
The BMC AMP Fourstroke is an amazing lightweight trail bike. The TQ motor and the 4 bar suspension make for a boosted blast that is extremely lightweight for an e-mtb. These are a sure fire way to get miles of smiles in the dirt.
