About Tucson Mountain Bike Tours & Rentals
Tucson Mountain Bike Tours & Rentals is a bicycle rental shop serving Tucson and surrounding communities with mountain bikes, e-bikes, road bikes, hybrids, gravel bikes, tandem bikes, and kids bikes. The business offers rentals at several locations connected to The Tucson Loop, including Central Tucson, South Tucson near the airport, and Oro Valley. It also provides mountain bike trailhead pickup and delivery for selected riding areas, giving visitors options for riding on paved paths, neighborhood routes, desert trails, and mountain bike terrain.
The shop's mountain bike selection includes front-suspension Specialized Rockhopper Expert hardtails and full-suspension Specialized Stumpjumper models, along with full-suspension bikes from Specialized, Marin, and Giant. The website notes that its mountain bikes have tubeless tires, and rental bikes can be picked up near HoneyBee Canyon and Upper 50 Year trails or at the Central Tucson location. Trailhead service is available for Mountain Bike Park, HoneyBee Canyon, and Upper 50 Year Trails. The business describes HoneyBee Canyon as a scenic cross-country route with a 16-mile loop and several riding options, while Upper 50 Year is presented as a more aggressive trail for riders seeking a greater challenge.
E-bike rentals include Trek, Specialized, Giant, and Rad City models, with step-through and low-bar options available. The shop lists e-bikes for use along the Central Rillito River section of The Loop, as well as at its Central Tucson and Oro Valley locations. It also offers front-suspension electric mountain bikes for riding at HoneyBee Canyon, including Specialized Tero models with long-lasting batteries. For riders who prefer traditional bicycles, the inventory includes geared fitness hybrids, comfort hybrids, low-bar and step-through hybrids, carbon flat-bar road and hybrid bikes, and both premium and economy road bikes. The website notes that women's designed e-bikes and women's road bike sizes are available.
Tucson Mountain Bike Tours & Rentals also serves riders planning longer or more specialized trips. Gravel and cyclocross rentals are available for routes around Patagonia, Bisbee, Reddington Pass, and other gravel roads in southern Arizona, with pickup from the Central Tucson Loop location. Road bike rentals are positioned for Loop riding and longer outings, including trips toward Mount Lemmon. The business offers multi-day rentals and states that bikes can be stored at its Loop locations during those rentals. Helmets and either studded flat pedals or SPD two-bolt pedals are included at no additional charge, according to the website, and some models feature flat-protected tires or tubeless setups.
The shop offers self-guided road, e-bike, and hybrid tours daily, rather than describing a formal guided tour program. Rental pickup is available at its Tucson and Oro Valley locations, with mountain bike trailhead service offered for specific nearby trails. The website says that bookings should be made in advance and that there are no walk-ins. Pickup and return times vary by location and rental type, with early pickup available and some Loop rentals eligible for evening returns. Visitors can begin by selecting a bike and location through the business's booking system, then confirming whether they need Loop pickup, trailhead service, or delivery to one of the listed mountain biking areas.
