Trail Lovers utilizes local third-party bike rental companies to furnish your bike rentals purchased for Sedona mountain biking tours, clinics, and/or lessons. If you have your own bike, then you're more than welcome to use it during your ride to save on the rental upgrade fees. We would highly recommend it!!
For those who will be selecting any of our bike rental upgrades, we use the following Sedona based MTB rental companies:
- Thunder Mountain Bikes: They're centrally located in West Sedona and near many of our tours' locations to reduce drive times during your experience. They have an awesome selection of bikes to choose from for riders of all abilities, sizes, and ages. Here's a link to their Rental Bike Damage Policy.
- Absolute Bikes: They're located 25 minutes from Uptown Sedona in Village of Oak Creek and 35 minutes away from West Sedona. While getting to them will take a slightly longer drive time if you're in Uptown/West Sedona, they have a wonderful team of mechanics, and you will not be disappointed with their fleet of bikes. By default, this is our back-up option due to the additional logistics needed to rent from them, and in an effort to streamline our experiences. Here's a link to their Rental Bike Damage Policy.
