I rented the second-best category bike to ride the Luz Ardiden. excellent bike. the right gearing, full carbon both rims and frame, and a comfortable saddle that will fit most people.
the shop set up my bike perfectly and with a premium groupset of SRAM nothing to complain.
if you look at the range this shop rents out, this is the perfect spot to rent bikes.
Luz Saint Saveur is the perfect place to plan you bike trip, if for half a day, to do one mountain, or as starting point for an exhausting trip. not many places have so many great and famous mountains in sight. Together with the bikes from this shop, just perfect.
some people complain about the price, but this is the price for true premium bikes.

Hired some top end bikes to climb some local ascents and they didn’t disappoint. Buttery smooth shifting, very controlled and confident breaking and on tap support when we needed some tweaks. The bikes were dropped off to the hotel and fits completed to ensure everyone of our group (7) were comfortable. I personally rode the Astana bike. Amazing! Well done Tourmalet Bikes.

I had a problem with my di2 group not charging at all. The tourmalet Bike team immediately took care of me when I wasn't even renting from them. They gave me advice and even offered to keep it for charging at night. They didn't charge me anything. Super friendly team, I really recommend!!

My experience Six Day cross Pyrennes trip: Rear tire wobble (out of true) at the start of Day 1 in Hendaye. The new tire (complete with new tire stubbles) was cut. Two days of "THUMPER" was not an enjoyable experience. At 2nd day end in Luz-Sait-Sauveur, Tourmalet Bikes did swap out the bike at their shop after way too much groveling. Another bike in our group rental of 15 had the rear derailleur falling off prior to getting the bike out of the Tour Operator van.

Very good experience. Very friendly shop staff, and more than competitive prices. There is a very big difference with the shop opposite (Ardiden Velós), both in the personal treatment, as in the service, the prices, and in the good faith of the former. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the service of this store. If you do not know the area or the shops, I encourage you to rent the bike on Tourmalet Bikes, if you want to have a pleasant experience on holiday.

The shop looks specialized in renting road bikes but definitely not mountain bikes. Aiming for medium difficulty tracks, we rented semi-rigid bikes for the days but the equipment was very poor. Almost no rear nor front brakes! Knowing the slopes in the Pyrenees, this is quite a dangerous thing... And the helmets costed us a 3euros extra (first time in my life I pay an extra for the helmet). I would not recommend the shop.

Nous sommes surpris et désoler de votre commentaire car les vtt que nous vous avons loués sont quasi neufs et sont vérifiés en atelier avant les sorties de location . En ce qui concerne le sentier , nous avons des familles qui le pratique et qui reviennent enchanter car c' est un parcours agréable avec un joli vue sur le village ; deuxième partie un plus technique mais très praticable par des vététistes non confirmés . Pour le supplément du casque , nous ne l' avons pas compris dans le prix de location du vélo afin de ne pas pénaliser le client qui vient avec le sien . Lors de votre prochain passage , n'hésitez pas a venir nous rencontrer afin de converser avec nous de tout cela. Merci

I tried to rent a road bike here as I wanted to try a carbon bike, but I was put off by the owner who was just rude and dismissive. I am a beginner cyclist and my french is not great, but even so his customer service was awful. I decided to go for a walk instead.

I hired a bike at this place to cycle le Col du Tourmalet. Rang to make a booking. Got a call bike an hour later, as the guy had forgotten my name and pedal requirements. On arrival the following morning, the owner didn't have any record of the booking and had to make a call to his employee to check which bike I was to get. Bike was fine, not top of the range, but they had explained that all of the Pinarellos had already been booked. The Giant I was given was fine for a half day spin in the mountains. However, about 750m above the ski station. about half way up the climb, I got a puncture, looked like a pinch puncture to me. It was a tubeless tire, so I couldn't fix it. I walked down to the ski station and asked some MTBers and folks at the ski station to see if they could help, but they couldn't. So I had to call the shop for assistance. A guy drove up about 45 mins later, and explained that he was a friend of the owner. He was super nice and helpful, and gave me a replacement wheel. I completed the climb then.
When I arrived back at the shop there was no one there. Didn't want to leave the bike out on the street, so I called the owner and he came around to the shop a few minutes later with a lady who could speak English. She told me that there was a problem with the bike. The owner told me that I had wrecked the tire and that I was responsible for paying for a replacement. He claimed that I had ridden off the main road and that the puncture was therefore my fault. I tried to explain that when I went to the ski station for help, the tire got dirty and this was why it may have looked like I'd been off the main route. He would not listen and got increasingly angry (as did I). I refused to pay, but he told me he had my credit card details and would charge me anyway. So I walked out of the shop and as I was leaving I told him that I would be posting a review here. His response was to follow me out of the shop, stop me in the street and head-butt me. I was completely shocked and told him to back off, which he did. No damage was done, I wasn't hurt, but it did ruin what was a bucket-list climb in the mountains for me.
I can understand that from his point of view, it looked like I had damaged the tire by going off the main route. But whatever way you look at it, physically attacking a customer is completely unacceptable.

Excact number and types of the ordered rental bikes delivered to and picked up from our hotel, including the automatic pedals. Nice digital payment-service afterwards: payment per person on the hotel.
