THE BIKE

Premium e‑MTB performance

The rental is a high‑end electric mountain bike designed for off‑road stability and range, letting riders tackle climbs with pedal assist and extend riding distances on Cuyuna’s trail network.

THE TRAILS

Pedal‑assist technology makes covering greater stretches of the Cuyuna Lakes trails easier, enabling longer rides and access to varied terrain that might be more demanding on a non‑assisted bike.

THE SUPPORT

Red Raven staff provide trail recommendations, bike fitting and rider support so you can choose routes suited to your group and make the most of your rental time.
