To Demo One of Our Bikes

Contact your nearest branch of Alpine Bikes to arrange your demo. Not all of the demo bikes are stored in the one location, so allow for a few days for the bike to be delivered to your local store. Once delivered, the bike is built, inspected and then set up for rider weight, etc.

When you come to collect the bike, please bring with you two forms of ID; 1 photographic (for example – drivers’ licence, passport) and 1 credit or debit card. You will also be asked to fill out a disclaimer form. If you have any questions about the demo, feel free to ask any member of Alpine Bikes staff.

All we ask is that you bring back the bike by the time agreed and in the same condition that it left the store in. If there are any issues with the bike whilst out on the trails, please remember to discuss it with a member of staff.
