Demo Bikes
We want to make your bike-buying experience easier by allowing you to take a bike out on the dirt and put it to the test. We offer rental and demo bikes in the most popular models from Santa Cruz, Trek, and Pivot (Bountiful only). They are available anytime for you to ride on your favorite trail - just come by our shop or give us a call at 801-484-0404 (Sugarhouse) or 801-683-0166 (Bountiful) to reserve a bike for a certain day. Please contact us for more details.
Our demo fees can be applied to the future purchase of a full-suspension bike in our store (up to 4 demos within the same year or up to a value of $600). All demos are $150/day unless otherwise stated. Demos come with flat pedals but clipless (SPD) pedals are available upon request. Helmet NOT included.
Here are our current bike rental & demo models:
Models Available in Sugarhouse
Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon XO1 (29" wheels)
The Downhiller's XC Bike - The Tallboy has earned a loyal following amongst those who seek a go-to bike that will hold up to the relentless hammering of "power hour" hot laps or long days in the saddle harvesting the best trails. The highly-refined VPP™ suspension on the Tallboy combines pedaling efficiency and all-out bump-chomping prowess. If ever there was a gravity riders’ XC bike, the Tallboy is it.
Sizes Available - Medium, Large, XL
Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon XO1 (29" wheels)
The newest version of the Hightower remains Santa Cruz's greatest hit of engineering - now further refined and bottled into our most all-terrain of bikes. Big on wheels, medium on travel, short on fuss, this is the do-it-all model that does it over and over again thanks to a versatile balance of geo, spec and durability. If you’re not looking for extremes, just something extremely good, the Hightower is your elevator.
Sizes available - Medium, Large, XL
Juliana Furtado / Santa Cruz 5010 Carbon XO
The Juliana Furtado and Santa Cruz 5010 are sister and brother models. Both have a mixed "mullet" wheelset (29" front, 27.5" rear) for that playful feeling while allowing your front wheel to roll over obstacles easily. These bikes have a short wheelbase which makes even the most mundane trails feel like they're loaded with features to hop, skip and jump over.
Sizes Available: Small (Furtado) and XL (5010)
Santa Cruz Bullit Carbon XO1 (29"/27.5" wheels)
The Bullit is an electric mountain bike designed for tackling the steepest and deepest of trails in both directions. Imagine the kinds of rooty, rocky, horror fests usually reserved for our biggest hitting bikes like the Nomad and Megatower. Then imagine what lies beyond that. Where the Heckler's priority is agility and playful handling, the Bullit takes a more no limits approach. 170mm travel, a 38mm fork and DoubleDown tires reflect the smashability of this platform. This is a bike for riders who seek V10 level terrain that's out of range of any chairlift or shuttle road.
Only available in Large - Demo price is $200/day
Trek Fuel EXe (29" wheels)
First there was the forest. Next came the trail. And then there were mountain bikes. Hardtails for hammering. Full suspensions for crushing. Short travel whips. Long travel steeds. High powered e-bikes. Now—there’s Fuel EXe. Evolved to break the mold, bridge the gap, and elevate your ride with quiet assist that all but disappears in the woods. Fuel EXe is the culmination of your every desire on singletrack. It’s an e-mountain bike that empowers you to do more, without interrupting the way you experience nature. Just as a mountain bike should. It’s your best trail ride ever, with extra Fuel in the tank.
Only available in XL - Demo price is $200/day
Models Available in Bountiful
Pivot Switchblade (29" wheels)
Optimized for the Entire Mountain
Every detail of the Switchblade is tailored to deliver a bike ready to conquer the entire mountain. Progressive geometry broadens the performance envelope while retaining the versatility that made the original so good. Always with an eye on confidence-inspiring design, we shortened, straightened, and steepened the Switchblade’s seat tube to allow longer travel dropper posts.
Sizes available - Medium, Large, XL
Pivot Trail 429 (29" wheels) - Trail Build
All Mountain Attitude, Race Bike Reflexes
This latest iteration of the Trail 429 is evidence of Pivot's constant quest for peak performance. They've broadened its capabilities without sacrificing its legendary sharpness: slackening the head angle just enough, increasing the reach, and introducing a flip-chip to allow fine tuning of the geometry toward either the rowdy or racy ends of the spectrum.
Sizes available - Small, Medium, Large, XL
Pivot Firebird (29" wheels)
The DNA of Velocity
Modern geometry tailored for aggressive riding lets the Firebird rail at warp speed with battleship stability and laser precision. A relaxed head angle, long reach and generous wheelbase are the key ingredients of high-speed composure. Fast up, fast down. Fast.
Sizes available - Medium, Large
Trek Rail 9.9 (29" wheels)
Rail 9.9 is a long-travel electric mountain bike built for ultimate trail performance. The light OCLV Mountain Carbon frame features an awesome RockShox suspension setup, the latest wireless electronic drivetrain tech, and the best e-MTB drive system on the market. It'll shred right alongside the enduro crowd, but the best part is that you'll always beat them up the climbs and get in the most runs.
Only available in Large - Demo price is $200/day
