Our Bikes

Thinking of joining one of our Jasper to Banff cycling tours and not keen on transporting your bike with you?  

Maybe you’re looking to upgrade your current bike or worried about making the distance and want to try an e-bike instead. 

Let us take the hassle out of your holiday with one of our quality road or E-bikes by adding a rental bike to your tour booking.

See below for more info on our rental bike fleet.

Why did we choose a gravel bike with slicks for our rental bikes in 2022?

Great question. It’s a change we’ve pondered over for a number of years as we watched many of our guests on our tours struggle to learn how to properly shift gears on a regular road bike. Whilst many people who join our tours are familiar with road bike gearing, for an equal amount of people our tour is their first introduction to a road bike. With changes in the bike industry now making these 1x lightweight gravel bikes available that look like a road bike, can be installed with slick tubeless road tires and have a more user friendly geometry, we thought 2022 would finally be the year we give these bikes a go. The single sprocket on the front means you only have 1 gear shifter to worry about. You’ll be able to spend more time checking out the view and less time learning how to select the correct gear for the various elevation changes you’ll experience on the tour. 

Don’t worry, if you’re a die hard roadie with a fancy carbon road bike, or just attached to your own pride and joy, you’re always welcome to bring your own bike on our tours. We understand your love of your own bike whichever kind it is, and are happy to have you and your bike along. We’ve got a custom enclosed bike trailer to transport your pride and joy, and we’ll promise to look after it as if it’s our own.

We also carry e-bikes!

These bikes are electric pedal assist and run silently. You still get to pedal, but the electric motor in the crank adds a bit of oomph to your effort, making the hills between Jasper and Banff that much easier.

Are you keen to join one of our tours with a friend, spouse or partner, but they are worried about keeping up or making the distance? They’ll easily be able to ride alongside you on the e-bike. Instead of telling your friend or partner how great the trip was when you get home you’ll now be able to enjoy the experience together.

You never know, it might just be riding an E-Bike on one of our tours that gets them back in the saddle when they return to town.
