How do you book a demo ride?

To book one of our demo bikes please contact us. The best way to do it is like this...

1. You choose the bike or bikes you want to try. We can help if you really don't know where to start!
2. Contact us to book your ride(s). We will book your bike on the days you want (subject to availability).
3. Come along on the day you have booked your ride with photographic I.D. (passport or driving license), proof of address (bank statement or utility bill) and you will be required to sign our disclaimer / booking form.
4. Pay the demo bike fee. We charge £50  to demo our bikes (more details below) and this payment has to be on a credit/debit card.
5. You can then whisk the bike away for a ride. Return the bike back to us on the date arranged.

Please note: The £50 fee buys you up to 4 demo rides over the course of a month. We've found that riding a few bikes or a couple of different sizes of bike really helps you to pin down the one that is right for you. The £50 charge is refundable if you go on to buy a bike from us.

Important note: Our demo bikes are not "hire" bikes. They are exclusively for the use of customers who are serious about buying an Orange or Santa Cruz bike from us. If you just want to hire a bike for a weekend ride, we'd be happy to recommend a couple of alternative places that offer this.

But I want to try a bike/size you don't have. What can I do?

Please contact us. We have access to the Santa Cruz and Orange UK demo fleets so we should be able to get the demo bike you need. Please note: this is subject to availability.

Do you run any organised demo days?

Yes we do. We will be running organised demo days throughout the summer. Our demo events will allow you to try an extended range of bikes from Orange and Santa Cruz which will be loaned to us from the UK demo fleets for these events.

Demo days are the perfect way to try a bike or several bikes on local trails. You can also ride a number of bikes back to back on the same trails so you can get a real feel for the differences between bikes so we really encourage you to come along... and they are always completely free of charge!

We will publish details of all upcoming 2018 demo days shortly.
