Equipment, Gear, and Safety

Our current bike selection features the Santa Cruz Heckler e-mountain bike. The bike is very well balanced, extremely durable, and offers excellent power up ascents. We have modified the saddle with a Brooks, natural rubber, saddle for added flex and miles upon miles of comfort. 

Revelate touring bags have been alpine, long distance, and ultra race tested from Alaska to Patagonia. They are the perfect solution to ditch your backpack and still pack all your essential gear. 

We provide Bern Hudson helmets for all riders. This helmet has been purpose tested for e-bikes, with an NTA 8776 e-bike certification and a 5 S.T.A.R. ranking from Virginia Tech.

Loose rocks on forest roads are the only technical part of the tour and can be easily managed by slowing down. There are steep ascents and descents, but these can also be easily managed (and enjoyed) by slowing down and using the power (or brakes) of the bike. Other parts of the ride will stay on bike paths or low-traffic roads. We will never be far from a town center, or inaccessible by car. Your guide will be first aid certified and carry a satellite phone at all times.
