Bike rental

The bike model will depend on availability at the time of booking the tour. These are some of the models that can be offered.

1. Orbea Orca M10i OMX

This bicycle can deal with the toughest mountains, the steepest descents, the tightest curves, and the fastest sprints. The hydraulic disc brakes have great breaking power and control regardless of the type of road and the weather conditions. It is designed to be the lightest and fastest in its category.

2. BH Core Gravelx Carbon 2.6

So lightweight that you will not believe that it is an e-bike. Its frame is made of carbon, with the technology used in the frames of BH’s high-end road bike range. This bike has significant autonomy (165 and up to 220 kilometers) thanks to a combination of low motor consumption and a 540Wh battery. The core display is fully integrated into the stem and it features a button that allows you to increase or reduce the assistance level, through an LED-color system.
