Lucky enough to be going on a 10 day trip around Scotland, and wanted to squeeze in some riding. Cant take my own SX trail with me, but would like to ride at a couple of places.
Fort William is on the list, but i can get a Spesh big-hit to rent for that location. So, i'm looking to see if anyone can let me know somewhere i could rent a 5-6 inch trail bike for the whole 10 days..

flying in, and out of Endinburgh. Going to Aberdeen, Shetland, across to outer Hebrides, down to Bute and borders area then across back to Edinburgh.

I would like to ride KIRROUGHTREE, and maybe 1 other non- trail center.

any rental suggestions?

Ta.

The hub at glentress

Bothy bikes in avimore

Laggan wolftrax

give em a google

Given what the cost of a days hire is are you sure you can't take your own?

Go to Arran instead of Bute. Bute is basically quite crap.

Thanks for that TJ.
Nope, cant take my own (which is a shame, as it rocks on that kind of terrain).

I'm flying up, with lots of kit already for a film shoot.

Thanks for the tips on rentals. I didn't spot the 'demo' fleet at the hub site when i looked. I just saw the 'rental' hardtails.

thanks.

We can do that! Give us a shout (ask for Pedro's mobile number if necessary). We have Lapierre Zesty, Pronghorn Trail 150 and Cube Fritzz in the range you're looking for.

Square Wheels at Strathpeffer. Loads of good riding on natural trails

Forgot to say - happy to throw in a day's guiding round here - not the worst area for biking!
