A big thanks to all the team in Biking.ie. We had an amazing time. While we had our own bikes up in Balinastoe our friends visiting from abroad hire some of the hard tail Mtb’s for both their kids and their adult selves. Such an amazing place, it blew their minds how good the trails were, the selection for all levels and the availability of really well maintained and high end bikes to cater for the needs of a high end pro to a novice.
The pricing was very fair for such great equipment and the fact the trail centre doesn’t cost anything to ride those berms and what seemed like a beautiful bobsleigh track made it a really inexpensive activity for such a meaningful and fun experience. Because the trail design and surface is so good, even in the wet in winter it felt dry as no puddles can sit on the trails. It’s a must do for visitors or friends coming into town looking for something amazing to do. The Biking.ie staff were excellent.( thanks Brian and Katie) The bikes, instruction and helmet fitting and the great coffee, hot chocolate, toasties and cake at the end. Kind and very professional . The trails were really well market also. Hot tip, take a small detour on the way to the top to see the Lake at Guinness estate at Luggala( 5 mins detour up top). So pleased we could bring our friends to Ballinastoe trail centre. 10/10 experience. Well done again biking.ie.

Was initially up in ballinastoe with my son who got a new bike for Christmas but the bike sadly broke down, none the less the two lads working there, Thomas and oscar (I think) came to save the day with expert knowledge fixing the bike in a matter of minutes and sent us on our way satisfied with great coffee and service.
Could not recommend biking.ie and their staff enough.
Will definitely be back

I had an amazing experience with Biking.ie. Their staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, helping me choose the perfect bike. The quality of their bikes was top-notch, making my ride smooth and enjoyable.
The rental process was easy, and the prices were reasonable. Their location near the trails was convenient, and I felt safe and confident throughout my ride.
I highly recommend Biking.ie for an outstanding mountain biking adventure. They truly exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to rent from them again!

Top notch mountain biking experience. The rental process is easy: book online; they send a speedy confirmation email. The Trek full-suspension bikes and the Vitus hardtails are in excellent condition. Ballinastoe trails are heavenly, and well maintained. Cafe at base of mountain serves delicious sandwiches, desserts, coffees. Friendly knowledgeable staff, especially Sean. Could not ask for better. Worth traveling to ride here.

I had a lovely experience this morning up in ballinastoe in county Wicklow. The trails were very slick and I found them very comfortable even on my hard tail. I had a look around their rental facilities and I must say I was very impressed with the excellent selection of top of the range bikes. To top it all off I was served a beautiful chicken and chorizo toastie and a flat white by a very friendly and charming young lad called Oscar. For a young lad he made an excellent coffee and was very chatty. I nearly had to tell my daughter to wait outside the cafe for fear that she would be going home with oscar instead of me!!!! It was my first time in ballinastoe and I was very impressed and I will definitely be coming again. And another well done to Oscar who was very kind and a great role model for the biking world. 👊🚵

It was all v good, exciting and enjoyable though a little scary !. Staff very helpful and efficient and friendly. It was my first time and I’m 66 years old so was a little nervous but the staff gave practical and helpful hints and explanation of everything.
The actual mountain biking route started off easily enough and at each stage got more exciting ( scary) ! A great experience and adrenal rush !!
There was a nice little takeaway that did good coffee, snacks and various other drinks with tables outside to sit at. It was all v clean and tidy. Totally recommend it. !

This was a great day recently for a group of 7 of us. As well as been physically challenging, this was so much fun.
The wet conditions actually added to it. Staff were very helpful with information and explaining things to us.
I will definitely be coming back here,

We are a family of 5, young adult children and middle aged parents... in decent shape but definitely not experienced mountain bikers. Will we enjoy this tour? I would hate to hold back a group of avid riders.

I would ask the tour operators for advice, they knew the area very well

How long are the day rides? Do we have to book we lots of days ahead of time, it is only 2 of us?

Hi Marisela, Thanks for your message and apologies for the slow reply. We'd be delighted to show you the sights around County Wicklow, 2 people is not a problem at all. The best thing to do is send us an email to info@biking. ie, we will reply straight back and get started on booking you in. Hopefully we will see you soon!
