We offer mountain bike hire at our Rothiemurchus-based hub near Aviemore, across the road from TreeZone and the Rothiemurchus Visitor Centre.

We are the only bike hire company at Rothiemurchus, and we offer immediate access to several off-road trails, from family-friendly to more adventurous routes.

Available to hire are:

– Hardtail mountain bikes

– Hardtail mountain e-bikes

– Trailers (compatible with our hardtail mountain bikes, not compatible with our e-bikes)

– Tag-a-longs (compatible with our hardtail mountain bikes, not compatible with our e-bikes)

– Baby seats (compatible with our hardtail mountain bikes, not compatible with our e-bikes)

Please note that when you hire an e-bike you will be required to pay a refundable, £100 security deposit per bike when you collect the bikes (paid by credit or debit card only.  Unfortunately, you cannot use Apple or Google Pay, for example, to do this).

Note: when booking online some folks have been experiencing difficulties having their payment processed. Having looked into this, we have been informed that this is due to the bank’s 3D verification processes. If you are having trouble with payments, please get in touch.
