BRINGING YOUR OWN BIKE

Bring the proper bike to maximize your Camp experience. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is a serious playground which gives a beating to your bike and its components. If you decide to bring your own bike please ensure it follows the guidelines below:

1. It’s Full Suspension

Full suspension bikes and disc brakes are essential. We ride more than you can imagine, to get the most out of the camp the right equipment is very important.

                                                                                                                                                

2. It Works

Make sure your bike is in proper working order before you arrive to camp. If you’re waiting until the pre-ride bolt check at camp, you’ll risk sitting out a lap to make nessesary fixes.

                                                                                                                                                

3. It’s built for the Bike Park

Ensure you have a durable frame and adequate components. Not all full suspension bikes are suitable for a week in the Whistler Bike Park. X-country bikes are not suited to jumps and drops.

                                                                                                                                                

4. Check With Your Airline

Be sure to check with your airline for any bike handling restrictions. Most will have additional charges, and some will require pre booking.
