Book now to reserve a high quality road bike rental for the 2025 Whistler Gran Fondo. This booking guarantees that we hold a bike for you to use as needed from Sept. 3rd -7th, 2025. Make sure to book the correct size, we have extremely limited supply of these bikes and therefor can only guarantee the size that has been booked.
As of 2025 we now have three options on offer. The first is a Norco Search equipped with Shimano GRX components and 32c Continental Gatorskin Tires. With an aluminum frame and carbon fork, this bike is light but not as light as a full carbon. Instead it is setup for comfort and durability along with a wide gear range suited for ease of climbing rather than flat out speed.
The second is a Specialized Roubaix SL8 Pro. This bike features advanced aerodynamics and a comfortable yet efficient geometry, along with precise Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, it offers exceptional control and performance.
The third option is more suited for Off Road / Gravel, but will still offer an incredible experience for those looking to partake in the Fondo. This lightweight carbon bike features precise SRAM AXS electronic shifting, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and wide 42c tires. Built for speed, durability, and comfort, this bike takes on varying terrain with ease.
Pedal option can be selected when booking. Clipless pedals are available to rent for $20 or save money by bringing your own pedals and we will install them for you. This rental package includes a full pre-race tuneup and a complimentary 15 minute setup to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. Helmets are mandatory and are provided free of charge unless you have one of your own. A complimentary lock can also be supplied with the bike if needed. A valid credit card and matching photo ID is required for all rentals. A $1000 Authorization will be placed on the card for the duration of the rental until the bike is returned and undergoes full inspection.
