Seven Days on Full‑Suspension Carbon — Truckee’s Tahoe‑Ready Rentals.

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.
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.
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.
