Kona Remote 160 CR Rental in Moab - Epic Trail Riding on Red Rock | Bike Rental | E-Bike

Moab, Utah is a raw, wind-sculpted landscape of slickrock, sandstone fins, and canyon rims that invite mountain bikers to test limits. The Kona Remote 160 CR - Medium rental from doubledownbikeshop gives riders a long-travel platform built for the steep, technical lines that pepper the region. doubledownbikeshop operates out of 255 Williams Way, Moab, UT 84532, USA, conveniently close to iconic trailheads and shuttle routes. Rent one of these bikes for a half day shuttle or a full day loop over slickrock bowls, technical singletrack and drop-ins that demand composure more than brute strength. The Kona Remote 160 CR is designed around 160 millimeters of rear travel paired with a stout fork, giving confidence on punchy descents without surrendering climbing efficiency. Expect predictable geometry, stable cornering, and the ability to pick fast lines through rock gardens and exposed ledges. Local features include slickrock domes, eroded Navajo sandstone surfaces, narrow canyon cuts, and wide mesa overlooks that reveal the Colorado River valley below. Vegetation is chiefly pinyon-juniper and sagebrush, with seasonal wildflowers that flare after spring storms. Wildlife sightings commonly include lizards and mule deer, plus raptors carving thermals over canyons. This bike and area suit riders who want aggressive trail capability, technical confidence, and the flexibility to explore classic Moab trails such as slickrock loops and flow singletrack. Rentals include helmets, tools, and a brief setup briefing tailored to local trail conditions. Riders should carry extra water, sunscreen, and a compact repair kit; routes bake in summer, and even short flats can become a long day without prep. Spring and fall are prime for temperature balance, while summer demands early starts and winter can bring cold winds and patchy snow at higher rims.

Take time to scout lines on foot before committing a technical drop, respect trail etiquette, and pack out any trash. Photography rewards occur at sunrise and late afternoon, when angled light sculpts rock and reduces contrast; aim for low angles that show bike and terrain together.
