Renting a bike is easy!
When you would like to cycle on the Costa Blanca, you can bring your own bike. But why go through the hassle of having to disassemble your bike in order to fit it into a flight case? Let alone running the risks of damaging or even losing your precious bike during air transport. And perhaps you would like go out for MTB rides on your holiday as well as some trips on the road bike. Treat yourself therefore to the convenience of a rental mountain bike of Snakebite.
Hardtail = hard core fun
As material for the MTB rental we have chosen hard tail MTBs. These offer the best value for money experience. Of course, a full suspension bike gives more comfort and opens up a bigger variety of trails, but the rental price per day is substantially higher. On all our guided XC trails we ride a hardtail as well and it is a lot of fun. Frames are made of aluminium.
Wheelsize
After having experimented with both 27.5'' (650B) wheels and 29'ers we believe (for a hardtail) the 29er is the choice for our terrain. It makes rolling over rocks so much easier and there is almost no loss agility. And since during most of our rides we cover some roads, the big wheels have a bigger rolling advantage as well.
Groupset / drivetrain
The groupset on our rental bikes generally comes from the Shimano SLX line. Again, we think this set stands for good value for money. As manufacturers seem to like to blend their groupsets from to time, so you´ll see some Shimano XT or Deore parts on some bikes. Next to Shimano some bikes are equipped with SRAM NX gears. Currently we have almost a fifty - fifty divide between compacts and "one by´s". Most new bikes that come in now have a 1 x 12 transmission, though we still might continue to have some 2 x 11 sets, as some people still prefer those.
Brands
Having started with an all Merida fleet (German brand) we recently had to change to another supplier that sells Conor bikes. We are still very satisfied with our Merida bikes but were forced to change to another local shop that doesn´t represent Merida. Conor is a Spanish brand (from Navarra, North West Spain) with a strong focus on mountain biking. So far, our clients have been really satisfied with the Conor bikes.
Tires
To fully enjoy your mountain bike trips, our mountain bikes are equipped with puncture-proof tires. The inner tubes of our MTBs are filled with a liquid that helps to prevent a leak. Because leak prevention has its limits, we always send you off with a multi tool, spare inner tube, pump and puncture repair kit.
Pedals
We offer a choice between SPD (clip-in) pedals and flat (platform) pedals. Though we have a limited number of rental shoes and helmets available, bikers are advised to bring their own shoes, helmet and biking clothes.
