Which bike to choose?

At FBR, you will find a bike perfectly suited to your needs and your cyclist profile. Our rental fleet includes more than 1200 bikes, including mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes, triathlon bikes, and bikes with or without electric assistance.

Have you decided to focus entirely on cycling or, in the case of a cycling event, on competition and leave the rest to us, the bike rental specialists? A good decision! You don’t need to travel with your bike, which eliminates transportation costs and risks, and you benefit from a high-end bike, maintained and adjusted for you.

When renting a bike, the main concerns are not feeling perfectly comfortable on an unfamiliar machine and ending up with an underperforming model. With France Bike Rentals, these apprehensions are quickly forgotten: only high-end and latest generation bikes are offered, and all parameters can be customized.

Here are some tips for making your choice:

Competition

Are you looking for a bike for a specific cycling event?
France Bike Rentals (FBR) has been a partner of IRONMAN Europe events and the Haute Route series for many years. Here you will find our complete overview of events.

What is the profile of the course?
One of the key advantages of renting a bike is being able to choose the right setup for your event. For mostly flat courses, an aerodynamic road or triathlon bike is ideal to maximize speed and efficiency. For hilly races, a lightweight all-round road bike offers the perfect balance between performance and comfort. And for mountain events with long climbs, a light, responsive climbing bike will help you manage elevation with confidence. Check out all our road bikes.

Participating in a triathlon?
The most important factor is riding a bike you feel comfortable and confident on. If you’re an experienced triathlete, a dedicated triathlon bike like the Scott Foil RC Tri or the Trek Speed Concept is the best choice for optimal aerodynamics and race-day efficiency. It is also possible to book a fast bike like the Scott Foil RC 20 and add triathlon extensions (Tri-bars). Check out our triathlon bikes.

What components should you bring yourself?
You will need to bring your shoes, your bike computer, and preferably your pedals and helmet, although they can also be rented.
