Rent A Bike

It’s back and it’s shreddier than ever! Designed for all-mountain versatility, the 2020 Pivot Switchblade has a new carbon frame with more travel, contemporary geometry and an updated DW Link suspension system. With 29er wheels, 142mm of rear-wheel travel, a 160mm Fox 36 fork and longer, slacker geometry, the new Switchblade is even more of a magical, one-bike-fits-all creature than the original. If 29er wheels aren’t your jam, it can also be set up as 27.5+ or even a mullet bike with a 29-inch wheel up front and a 27.5-inch wheel in the back. The updated DW link is more progressive for coil shock compatibility; and the updated position-sensitive anti-squat kinematics make the 2020 Switchblade a goat when you’re pedaling through chunky technical terrain – something there’s no shortage of here in Southern Utah.

Our friends like to rip. A couple of years ago Ibis blessed us with the Ripmo – a long-travel carbon 29er made for big rides and big mountain trails. Now, you can rip even more on the new Ibis Ripmo V2. Based on the aluminum Ripmo AF, the carbon-framed V2 pairs the same travel (147mm rear/160mm front) with updated geometry that’s longer and a full degree slacker for seriously increased ripability. Like the AF, the new Ripmo V2 also has updated suspension that’s plusher off the top and more progressive so you can send it hard without worrying about bottoming out. If you’re looking for an all-mountain enduro 29er to dominate at Guacamole, Little Creek and the bike park, the Ibis Ripmo V2 serves up all the rip you can handle.

Version 3 of the original short-travel, aggressive 29er trail bike is here – introducing the 2020 Evil Following! The original Following was ahead of its time, combining sendy trail geometry with 29er wheels for an all-day pedal machine that could also rip the DH. The new Evil Following V3 took cues from current longer-slacker geometry trends but reined in the wheelbase and chose a relatively steep 67.2° head angle (X-Low setting) to keep the playful, poppy character the Following is known for. With 120mm of Delta System suspension in the rear, a 130mm fork and an even lighter, stiffer carbon frame, the new Evil Following is ready for Jem Trail laps or big backcountry rides that end at the bike park.

Do you like the cut of the Ibis Ripmo 29er but find it a bit pricy? Or maybe you feel more comfortable on a bike that’s made of actual metal. If either of these things is true, then the Ibis Ripmo AF might be right for you. The AF stands for Aluminum Frame, which makes this bike metal AF. The alloy frame also makes it a great deal. You can get a complete Ripmo AF starting at just $2999. With mucho-sendo, hella-slack geometry, 147mm of DW Link suspension and a super-adjustable 160mm DVO fork, the Ibis Ripmo AF is just itching for Grafton shuttle laps.

The Revel brand may be new but the people behind it are mountain bike industry vets and the 130mm Revel Rascal 29er is more than just another pretty face. The Rascal’s special sauce is a delicious blend of fun geometry, silky-smooth suspension and innovative carbon design. The Rascal uses Revel’s own special carbon layup for a frame they say is both stiffer and lighter than the competition. The geometry is near-perfect for a 29er trail bike – the longer wheelbase, slack 66° head angle and low bottom bracket make it stable and confident on steep, rocky descents; while short chainstays and a compact cockpit make it a quick, intuitive handler. Last but not least, the Revel Rascal’s Canfield Balance Formula (CBF) suspension provides superior pedal performance while slicing through the chunder like a hot knife through butter. Seriously – the Revel Rascal is so smooth! Come demo one of our Revel Rascal 29er rental bikes and see if you don’t think it’s in a class of its own.

“Stable and aggressive:” that’s what Rocky Mountain calls their 2020 Instinct 29er all-mountain trail bike. We just call it fun. It’s a pretty neat trick to combine both characteristics in one bike, though. Careful geometry design, just the right amount of suspension (140mm rear/140mm front) and smooth-rolling 29er wheels make the Rocky Mountain Instinct 29er one of our most versatile rental mountain bikes. It’s also one our best rental bike values. Since the Instinct 29er is such a fun, easy-to-ride bike, we wanted it to be as affordable as possible. To that end, we stock our rental fleet with the aluminum alloy Instinct so we can keep the rental rate under $50.

Versatility and comfort are the name of the game with the Salsa Horsethief 29er. We chose the alloy Salsa Horsethief mountain bike for our rental fleet because it’s easy to ride, handles everything and it’s a great value. Experienced mountain bikers and beginners alike will have tons of fun exploring Hurricane’s slickrock mesa trails and desert singletrack on the Horsethief 29er – and for less than $50 a day! It pedals great, inspires confidence and makes everyone feel like a pro in the chunky stuff. Note: our Salsa Horsethief rental bikes don’t come with a dropper post. However, if you decide to buy a bike, a dropper post will be installed.

All new for 2020, the Rocky Mountain Slayer has longer, slacker geometry, more travel and is now available with 29 or 27.5-inch wheels. The Slayer 29er has 170mm of travel and the 27.5 Slayer has 180mm of travel. We have the carbon 29er Slayer available for rent and Rocky also makes a more affordable, all alloy Slayer. In their first ride report, Pinkbike says the new Slayer is a, “return to its freeride roots.” We agree. While the 2020 Slayer pedals very well for a 170mm bike, it’s happiest in the middle of a long, rocky downhill. It’s one of the first bikes we’d choose to ride Grafton Mesa, Flying Monkey or the Brian Head bike park. Put a 200mm dual-crown fork on it and it’s ready for Red Bull Rampage. Do you think you’ve got what it takes to handle the Slayer?

Version 4 of the Ibis Ripley 29er is here and we’ve got ’em! Half a pound lighter than the LS with cutting-edge geometry and 120mm of rear wheel DW Link suspension – the new Ripley is one of our most versatile and fun big wheel trail bikes. It pedals like an XC racer and rips the singletrack donwhills like a BMX bike. If you’re all about big days but don’t want to hold back when it gets chunky, the Ibis Ripley V4 is the bike you want.

Make the reservation and take this Offering, you won’t be disappointed.

The Pivot Mach 4 SL 29er is a super-light, race-bred, trail-eating machine and our pick for smaller, lighter riders who want a no-compromise Southern Utah mountain bike rental. Pivot has long been a friend of smaller mountain bikers, engineering great-fitting small and extra-small bikes. Amazingly, Pivot lowered the standover on the Mach 4 SL a full inch compared to its predecessor – in spite of increasing the wheel size from 27.5 to 29 inches! The Mach 4 SL’s light, stiff carbon frame, DW Link suspension and 29-inch wheels make it a powerful climber, comfortable pedaler and great all-around full-suspension rig. New-school geometry and 100mm of premium Fox suspension make it precise, playful and confident on the technical slickrock terrain you come to Southern Utah to ride. Small and extra small riders will have a great time exploring the Hurricane mesas on our Pivot Mach 4 SL 29er rental bikes.

The Rocky Mountain Instinct BC edition is here!

What does BC stand for you ask? British Columbia edition, means big burly and playful! This edition was previously only available in carbon and higher end builds, but now we have an Alloy version that doesn’t break the banks while still delivering all the funs!

This  great 29er is nimble enough for an all day in the saddle pedal or laps around the technical mesa. Ride 9 assures you can set this bike up for each trail you ride. Having fun on a 29er has never been so easy.

We know a lot of these descriptions and magazine reviews all start to sound the same, and as we have tried to use our own words with so many great bikes they do sometimes blur together. However the Rocky Mountain Instinct is still a 29er that we have zero fear putting anyone on as it rides like a bike! It does what you want without making you feel 10 feet high in the air. You wanna blast straight through the chunk and roots, awesome this will let you do that. You wanna jump, great jump away! We know you have been tempted to get on a 29er, and the Instinct will not let you down!

So what’s in a name?  At Pivot this bike is and has been there best selling bike for many years.  As with all things, they needed to do a fresh update so they named the new bike the Trail 429. Moving trail from the end to the beginning while also updating and making a few tweaks.
To borrow from the Pivot website “There’s a dizzying range of bikes out there these days—XC, trail, all-mountain, enduro….What if you just want a bike that rips on nearly every trail? This is that bike. The Trail 429 is brilliant just about everywhere. It accelerates and climbs like a cross-country bike yet more than holds its own on tough terrain. We took the original Mach 429 Trail, completely reshaped the chassis and gave the bike a truly progressive geometry. The Trail 429 is even more capable on technical terrain than its predecessor yet doesn’t sacrifice a thing in the quick and nimble departments. Effortless handling, incredible power transfer and blazing acceleration are what set the Trail 429 apart from so many other trail bikes.”

This is one of the best riding, most capable bikes you could buy.

Clayton tries to be clever and not repeat the standard phrases and catch words. It’s hard to do. So whenever possible we go right to the source.

This is what Ibis has to say about their Ripmo 29er: “The Ripmo is a bike we’ve been wanting to make for a while now. Think of it as a mashup of the Ripley’s balance and speed, coupled with the Mojo HD4’s capabilities when things get hairy. It’s the bike that our Enduro World Series winning team will be using to defend their World Championship crown, so we pulled out all the stops.”

The RIPMO is not only sexy but it performs as advertised! For a full review, including photos, complete specs, geometry and price, visit our Ibis Ripmo 29er bike page.

Full size run! No matter how tall or short you are we have a RIPMO that will fit you. BIG WHEELS FOR ALL!!
