So,
after chatting the other week with a sales chap at my local overpriced showroom I was under the impression they let out Giant Glory as a weekend demo bike.

Turned out not..so is anyone aware of a shop in the west yorkshire area that does?

Doesnt have to be that model but something DH orientated or alternatively something along the Trek Remedy or Commencal Meta lines.

Thanks ahead

I know this isn't that much help but Antur Stiniog are doing KTM AM and DH bikes for hire. Is that something useful to you?

A demo bike or a hire bike? I think you'd have to go looking arround somewhere with more of a DH 'scene', like Wales, I think Don Skeene and Pearce did.

This. They've got at least one proper DH bike plus a few different Enduro/AM type bikes for demo/posh hire.

Bit of a trek for you but maybe worth it just to ride the trails at inners.

Any one nearby sell Transition bikes? The UK distributor Surf Sales can send out demo bikes to your local store.

I demoed a Bandit for a couple days before I decided it was awesome and got one 🙂

For £900 you can have an infinite number of demo days on mine 😉

£100/ full day

Therein lies the problem with demo DH bikes, they take a lot of stick, whereas an XC bike getting negligable wear in a day.
