If you’re going to Morzine this summer and wondering where to get a top quality hire bike, or who to turn to for emergency repairs, then new bike shop, Torico Morzine, could be the place to go.
The shop, which will be jointly run by Morzine based mountain bike holiday company flowmtb and Dorset based shop Torico Performance Bicycles, is due to open June 2010.
Hire bikes are available from the Mondraker 2010 range and will be looked after by the on-site mechanics.
The Torico Morzine hire fleet includes:
- The brand New 2010 Summum – This bike is gaining mythical status already and is being described as “The” bike of 2010.
- The 2010 Prayer is the perfect bike for lift assisted riding: when you want to pedal across the mountains to reach that little gem of singletrack off the beaten path.
- The 2010 Foxy is for those guys who like the burn in their legs and want to “earn” their gravity – no slouch on the DH but capable of being ridden up mountains too.
They’ll have a mechanic on site to fix your breakages, plus they’ll be selling all the usual spares you’re likely to need. Torico Morzine will also be running a Keep You Rolling service with emergency hire of forks, shocks, wheels and brakes, so if they can’t fix your bike in time to ride the next day, you can still keep rolling.
With a great location, just down from the infamous Bar Robinsons, you can chill out with a beer while they get your trusty steed back in mint condition. Or check out the staff’s favourite mtb routes on their wall map.
Best of all they’re offering Singletrackworld users a 10% discount on all hires reserved by Easter Monday (5th April) Just use the code SINGLETRACK here
