The Rocky Mountain Element is our "go to" trail bike for this area. A great parts selection, phenominal suspension. It's our best bang for the buck! http://www.bikes.com/main+en+01_102+ELEMENT_30.html?BIKE=980&CATID=1&SCATID=1&Y=2012
The all new womens specific Trek Lush is not your average "shrinked and pinked" laidies mountain bike. The Lush has lighter tubing, a shorter top tube, contact points designed for women and suspension that is tuned for lighter weight. It also has the lowest standover in its class. The Trek Lush is one plush ride. Demo one today! http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/singletrack_trail/lush/lush_sl/#
Yea, you know you've been wanting to try one of these. It's ok to be curious. The Surly Pugsley is one of the most unique bikes to come out in the last 20 years. With massive 4.0 snow tires everyone wonders how it rides. Well, lets just say it isn't just for snow. It turns out its a great desert bike too. It loves to ride through sand or take long rides on the beach....uhhh if we had a beach around here. So give it a spin, it might just end up being your favorite bike.
The Mojo SL is a super lightweight, efficient pedaling, strong and versatile trail bike. Its longish travel and light weight blur's the line between an All Mountain bike and a Cross Country bike. Its beauty makes ladies and metrosexual men swoon (OK, maybe not). Its dw-link suspension makes terrain disappear. This is our best selling and most popular demo bike. Make a reservation on this one!

This bike is a game changer. It not only blurs the line between all-mtn and cross country, it kicks it to the curb. Up or down, the Remedy is an amazing "do it all" machine. We like to refer to the Remedy as a Mountain Bike, not an XC bike, or a trail bike, or a race bike, but A MOUNTAIN BIKE! Viva La Remedy!
Do It All, Do It Well...
There is a reason all your buddies own this bike. The Blur LT rules! Seriously. It has a super-durable and comfortably light aluminum frame with 140mm of VPP suspension travel, featuring grease ports in the lower link, carbon fiber upper link, and big 15mm alloy pivot axles running on adjustable angular contact bearings. Straddling the line between XC performance and all-mountain abuse, the LT is a leggy trailbike that climbs sweetly, throws nicely into turns, and flat hauls ass downhill. If you could only have one bike, this would be a hard choice to beat.

Bigger wheels and more travel play nicely together. Rumblefish is a truly dialed 29er trail machine. Roll over everything, carry momentem, feel the stability. Rumblefish rocks on Fruita's ledgy, rocky trails. Try big wheels for yourself, it's the only way to know if its for you or not. Are big wheels a fad? Uhhh... like the internet?

This is the bike that convert's 26" wheel guys to 29ers. It handles so well for a big wheel bike! If you want to try a seriously fun 29er this is your bike. http://www.bikes.com/main+en+01_102+ELEMENT_950_29_.html?BIKE=983&CATID=1&SCATID=1&Y=2012
This bike caught the entire Over The Edge staff off guard. It is one of the most fun bikes any of us have ridden on aggresive trails. It's unique geometry makes pedaling to the top of any climb a non-issue. It's plush 6 inches of travel makes going downhill a grin inducing good time. The Slayer sits near the top of the current crop of do-it-all, ride anything mountain bikes. When one of the staff members grabs a demo bike for an after work ride, you can bet it's the Slayer almost every time. http://www.bikes.com/main+en+01_102+SLAYER_50.html?BIKE=948&CATID=1&SCATID=60&Y=2011
The Mojo HD is the longer travel bigger brother to the Mojo SL. The “HD” as we call it, has 160mm of rear wheel travel, up 20mm from the other Mojo. Everyone who throws a leg over the HD comes back blown away. It's downhill shredtastic, giving riders another level of skill and confidence they never new they had. And climbing? Oh yea, the HD can climb! You'll forget you're on a six and half inch travel bike as you earn your turns to the top.

Our store owner Ross Schnell won a pretty important race back in 2008. The Downieville All Mtn World Championships. It was a surprise to most people, and even more so that he did it on a mostly stock Trek Remedy. That bike came with a proper 160mm fork on it and had 150mm in the back. That bike ruled Grand Jct/Fruita trails. However the world wasn't ready for it yet, and Trek made the Remedy more "sellable" the next year by putting a smaller fork on it and steepening the geometry. It was a good bike, but not the perfect bike for living here in the land of rocks and drops. Ross continued to ride his Remedy with big forks, and also started working with Trek on their next bike which would be two years in the making. This bike would be everything the first Remedy was, but more. More travel, slacker angles, through axles for stiffness, and just as light and pedal friendly as the original. And just like the original Remedy, Ross would take a brand new bike and win a major race on it. This summer Ross won the 1st annual Trestle All Mountain Enduro Stage Race on his new Trek Slash, in Winter Park Colorado. A race that puts the focus on everything that is mountain biking. Technical downhill, loads of climbing, fitness and skill...all on ONE BIKE! Here at OTE we are proud that we had input into the design of a bike that is perfectly suited for our trails. Come demo a Trek Slash today!
Big Wheels Roll
This is the bike you've been dreaming of. Santa Cruz combined the acclaimed performance and durability of the latest VPP suspension with a sophisticated carbon fiber chassis and a set of big 29” wheels. The curvaceous carbon fiber frame is more than just a pretty face: it offers amazing stiffness and strength while keeping weight feathery light. That, plus 100mm of rear wheel travel paired with fast rolling large diameter wheels spells out one thing: BIG WHEELS KEEP ON ROLLING!

>Reservations are highly recomended during peak seasons of Spring and Fall. When reserving a demo/rental please note that the first two days are charged at the time of reservation and are NON-REFUNDABLE. Store credit or a raincheck is offered if something beyond your control comes up. (Refunds are NOT given in the rare event that it actually rains- we can't control the weather!)
>Our rental day is from 9-5. We use the last hour of our business day to get the bikes ready for the next day of use. If you rent a bike for multiple days, it is due back by 5pm on the last day of the rental period.
>Demo--We offer up to $200 of your rental fee's toward purchase of the bike you rented, or a new one. Often the bike you rode is available for purchase and the price is pro-rated by how many times it has been ridden. Our demo bikes range from $2400 to $6000, a substantial investment if you are looking to buy. Actually riding the bike you are interested in on REAL bike trails will give you the confidence to make a good buying decision.
>Helmet and Tube Repair Kits are included in rental price. We only charge you for the spare tube if you use it.
>Pedals--We have Shimano SPD, Flat Pedals, and a limited # of Crank Bros Candy and Time pedals for use at no extra charge. Consider bringing your own pedals and shoes for maximum comfort and familiarity.
>Brakes--In Europe, Austrailia, and NZ, the front brake is on the right hand of the bar. Not all brakes are easily switched from side to side. If you request a brake switch that requires a brake line swap, there will be a charge to bleed the brake system. Let us know ahead of time and we can put you on a bike that is easily swapped at no charge.
>Damage--Western Colorado trails are challenging. We have rocks! Sometimes people crash into rocks. Whatever the situation, you are responsible for damage to our bike's. You will be given a chance to ride and test your bike before your ride. ALL bikes are washed, tuned and inspected after every rental. We take good care of our bikes and our proud of how well they look. In the event that you do take a fall, or smack a rock, we only charge dealer cost to fix it and in most cases no labor. Thats pretty sweet! We aren't out to gouge anyone. We just want to keep our fleet looking and riding great.
>Rain!--It doesn't rain here in the desert very often. But when it does, it is NOT GOOD! Our soil turns to a mud that has the consistency of peanut butter and weighs about ten times as much. Wheels won't roll through bike frames, and trails are rutted badly. On the bright side though, our soil dries out very quickly. Often rain in the morning means sweet tacky dirt in the afternoon. Please use good judgement and don't ride when our trails are wet. We update our Facebook page often with trail conditions, or call us for the latest information.
>Shipping Personal Bikes--Should you choose to ship your own bike to us and NOT rent one of our amazing bikes, please call first. We charge $15 to hold a box, and other fee's apply should you want us to build or tune your bike upon arival. We need to get info from you before you ship. We'll need your name on the box at a minum so we don't spend an hour trying to find out whose box just arrived with no info on it. Also, shipping rates have sky-rocketed, for most vacations it can be cheaper to rent and it's fun to try new bikes anyway.
>Bike parts kits are subject to change as needed.
