Meet Your Local Trail Champions: Stowe’s Go-To Bike Shop

At the heart of Stowe’s vibrant biking community is more than just scenic singletrack and dreamy gravel routes — it’s a local bike shop that truly rides for the same reasons we all do: the love of the ride, the thrill of the climb, and the pure joy of dirt under our tires.

 

We’re proud to call this shop one of VMBA’s Skyline Partners, supporting both the local riding scene and trail advocacy across the state. If you’re pedaling through Stowe, this shop should be your first stop — whether you’re chasing berms in Cady Hill, exploring Vermont’s endless Class IV roads, or just rolling through town.

 

Mountain & Gravel Bike Specialists

This crew lives and breathes mountain biking and gravel riding. They’re not just selling bikes — they’re riding them, tuning them, and making them better for everyone who walks through the door. You’ll find them out on the local trails, racing gravel events, and always happy to share a favorite loop or a new line.

 

Demo Central: Pivot, Otso, and Forbidden

Curious about your next dream bike? They’ve got you covered as an official Pivot, Otso, and Forbidden demo center — meaning you can throw a leg over some of the most innovative bikes on the market before committing. Whether you’re looking for a high-pivot enduro rig, a titanium gravel machine, or a trail bike that climbs like a goat, you’ll find it here. VMBA Members can take advantage of 50% of demos with the use of the app.

 

Hardtail Heaven

If you’re a hardtail enthusiast, you’re in for a treat. They keep a strong stock of Chromag bikes and components, perfect for riders who like their bikes simple, fast, and a little bit rowdy. Steel is real, and this shop wears that badge proudly.

 

Service That Speaks Trail

Your bike deserves love, and this shop delivers with extensive service and upgrade parts always in stock, fast turnaround times, and reasonable pricing. Whether it’s a quick tune, a suspension overhaul, or a custom build, they’ll get you rolling again — fast.

 

Bonus: Shop Dogs!

What’s better than a great bike shop? A great bike shop with dogs. Yes, there are usually one or two four-legged greeters hanging out, happy to accept head pats while you browse gear or wait for your bike to be tuned.

This shop isn’t just a business — it’s a cornerstone of the Stowe local riding community. VMBA is grateful to have them as a Skyline Partner, helping us keep trails open, maintained, and evolving. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, swing by, say hi, demo a bike, and maybe throw a stick for a dog while you’re at it.

 

Ride on, and support the shops that support the trails.
