Route Schematic

Route schematic and key stops

A simple flow: pick up the bike at the shop, consult the supplied map of paved trails (or choose your own nearby singletrack that matches the bike’s cross‑country character), observe operator route restrictions, and return the bike at the end of the week.

  1. Bike Truckee — Pick‑up

    Reserve your date and PICK UP time with the shop and collect your full‑suspension bike and helmet at the Bike Truckee location.

  2. Local paved‑trail rides

    Use the supplied map of paved trails to plan daily rides and local access loops — the rental includes that map to help you navigate nearby paved options.

  3. Route restriction: Northstar boundary

    These carbon cross‑country bikes are not permitted at the Northstar Downhill Park — avoid that zone and plan trail choices accordingly.

  4. Return to shop

    All rentals must be returned to the shop before closing time on the final day of the seven‑day rental period.

These bikes are cross‑country carbon rigs, not downhill‑specific machines; guests should avoid downhill‑park laps and must return rentals by shop closing. Confirm pick‑up time and shop hours with the operator before arrival.

THE BIKE

Full‑suspension carbon rigs — built for Tahoe trails

Rent Guerrilla Gravity or Niner full‑suspension carbon bikes with 150mm of travel, FOX Float shocks, 12‑speed SRAM/Shimano drivetrains and 29" wheels — spec that puts capable, lightweight trail performance under your feet.

THE INCLUSIONS

What the seven‑day rental includes

Every bike rental comes with a helmet and a map of the paved trails; a bike lock and backpack are available on request, and most bikes are fitted with water‑bottle cages.

THE LIMITS

Not a downhill park pass

These are carbon cross‑country bikes, not downhill‑specific, and they are expressly not allowed to go to the Northstar Downhill Park — plan rides accordingly.

What the day feels like

How the week feels

You collect a purpose‑built full‑suspension carbon bike from the shop and spend seven days riding Tahoe terrain within the limits of a cross‑country rig — the bikes are intended to let you push rough singletrack and long trail days while remaining unsuitable for downhill‑park drops and lift‑served laps.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who these seven‑day full‑suspension rentals are for — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Downhill‑park specialistsNot a fit: the operator prohibits use at Northstar Downhill Park and the bikes are not downhill‑specific.
2
Cross‑country trail ridersA match for riders who want full‑suspension carbon bikes capable of aggressive cross‑country riding, provided they do not require downhill‑park access.
3
Multi‑day self‑guided rentersAppropriate for riders planning a week of self‑guided use so long as planned riding stays within cross‑country trail limits and avoids prohibited downhill‑park terrain.
4
Downhill‑park first‑timersNot ideal: riders seeking lift‑served downhill progression should seek downhill‑specific bikes and parks, since these rentals are restricted from Northstar and are cross‑country‑oriented.
