Bike Hire Finale Ligure

Yes, we stock Five Ten Impact Pro shoes for hire at €20 a pair, which are a solid, grippy option if you're riding flats and didn't want to pack your own shoes for the trip.

Only if you're booked into Atlas Ride Co accommodation, in which case we're happy to set you up with a one-day demo. If you're not staying with us, our minimum hire is two days, which in practice is about right anyway given how much there is to ride around Finale.

We do require you to have insurance in place, either through your travel or holiday policy or a bike-specific one, before we hand over a bike. We work with Yellow Jersey Cycle Insurance and can offer a 15% discount with the code MTB75 if you need to arrange cover before you arrive.

Whatever you're used to at home works fine here, so feel free to bring your own clipless pedals if you've got them. If not, we can provide a set of Five Ten flat pedals as part of the hire, which are a great match for the Five Ten shoes if you're going the flat pedal route for your trip.

Yes, every hire bike gets a proper check-up every couple of days, so if you're with us for five or six days your bike will have been looked over by our mechanic more than once during your trip. It's part of how we keep the fleet running tip-top and catch anything, a loose bolt, a dropping tyre pressure, before it becomes a problem out on the trail.

We do, and honestly we'd encourage you to give one a go even if you're used to a mullet or 27.5 setup at home. The extra rollover speed the big wheels give you is a genuine advantage on Finale's rocky, root-strewn trails, and it's a big part of why we've standardised the fleet on 29ers. If you really do want a 27.5 or mullet bike we can usually point you towards one of our partner shops locally who may be able to help.

We size our Enduro 29ers across four frame sizes, S2 through to S5. As a rough guide S2 suits riders around 5'2" to 5'8", S3 covers 5'5" to 5'11", S4 is for 5'8" to 6'2", and S5 fits 5'10" up to 6'4". Let us know your height and inside leg when you book and our team will help you land on the right size, and we'll double check everything fits properly when you collect the bike.

A 30% deposit secures your booking, with the remaining balance due two weeks before you collect your bikes. We accept card, bank transfer, or cash by prior arrangement, so pick whichever's easiest for you.

Our enduro bike hire starts at £150 for two days, rising to £225 for three days, £280 for four, £340 for five and £395 for six days, with every extra day after that charged at £50. It's genuinely worth booking for the number of days you'll actually ride rather than trying to squeeze into a shorter package, as the per-day rate gets better the longer you hire for.

Yes, our standard minimum for Finale Ligure bike hire is two days. If you're staying with us at one of our Atlas Ride Co properties, though, we can offer a one-day demo, which is a great way to try the Enduro or an e-MTB before committing to a longer rental.

Our whole hire fleet for Finale Ligure bike hire is built around the Specialized Enduro 29er, kitted out with 170mm travel front and rear, RockShox Zeb forks and Super Deluxe Coil shocks, plus Hayes Dominion brakes on 220mm front and 200mm rear rotors for serious stopping power on the descents. Drivetrains are SRAM GX and NX Eagle, so shifting is crisp and reliable even after weeks of dusty Ligurian trails. If you'd rather go electric we also run Specialized Turbo Levo and Turbo Levo SL e-MTBs, so just drop us a line at info@atlasrideco.com and we'll sort you out.

If you turn up without cover we can still get you on a bike, but we'll need to hold your passport for the duration of the hire along with your credit card details and proof of the cardholder's address as security instead. Most guests find it easier to just sort a quick policy through Yellow Jersey beforehand, but we understand not everyone wants to.

It happens a lot, and it usually comes down to riding style and preference as much as pure height. Tell us your height, arm length if you know it, and what you're used to riding at home, and our mechanic will talk it through with you and can always swap the size on collection day if the first bike doesn't feel spot on.

We'll need the name of your Atlas Ride Co accommodation if you're staying with us, the lead booker's name, the sizes and number of bikes required, and your travel dates. We'll also take your passport and credit card details ahead of collection, which are used either as the security deposit if you're not insured or simply held on file if you are.

Helmets are included free with every hire, no charge at all. If you want extra protection we can also rent out knee, arm and body armour for €10 per item, which most riders getting stuck into Finale's rockier trails find worthwhile.

The Specialized Enduro is our standard mountain bike rental in Finale Ligure and is what most of our guests ride, a proper long-travel trail weapon built for the descents this area is famous for. The Turbo Levo and Levo SL give you a motor to help with the climbing, which is brilliant if you want to bank more descents in a day or you're travelling with a mixed-ability group and want to keep everyone together on the way up. Get in touch and we can talk you through which suits your trip best and confirm e-MTB pricing for your dates.

You're responsible for any damage beyond normal wear and tear, crash damage included, but we keep things fair by charging any repairs at trade price with no labour fees added on top. Riding a demanding trail centre like Finale means the odd scuff or scrape is part of the deal, so please don't let this put you off pushing yourself out there, just ride within your limits and let us know straight away if anything happens.

Bikes are collected from Villa Arcelli, our flagship accommodation base here in Finale Ligure. Our mechanic will be on hand to get you sized up, talk through the setup and answer any questions before you head out.

Finale Ligure's trails are properly demanding, rocky, technical and often steep, and they reward a bike with modern geometry, plenty of travel and hard-wearing components rather than anything too light or too specialised. A short-travel cross-country bike will get overwhelmed quickly, and a downhill bike is overkill and a slog on the pedal-up sections, which is exactly why we've built our whole mountain bike rental fleet in Finale Ligure around the Specialized Enduro. It's the bike that actually matches the terrain here, and it's what lets our guests ride everything Finale has to offer without feeling under- or over-biked.

Absolutely, this is one of the things guests tell us they appreciate most. Our mechanic will run through the full setup with you on collection, sag, tyre pressures, brake lever position and cockpit, so the bike feels dialled in rather than just handed over cold. It only takes a few minutes but it makes a real difference once you're out on the trails.
