Bike Rentals

Hotel Domestique has Ventum NS1 and GS1 bikes custom fit for you. Our daily rentals come with a Hammerhead Karoo preloaded with George Hincapie’s favorite training routes. The Ventum NS1 road bike is an all-purpose, aero, and integrated performance machine that is optimized for maximum aerodynamic performance, yet weighs as little as 14.9 lbs. It is designed for versatility, with the ability to handle casual local rides or all-out races. The Ventum GS1 gravel bike is purpose-built to tackle the demands of performance gravel, offering off-road comfort and versatility without sacrificing speed. It features POP (Predictable Optimized Performance) Gravel Geometry, with a longer top tube, slacker steering, and a compact cockpit for a secure and predictable ride.

Mountain Biking

This region is host to some of the best mountain biking in the country –– from the technical, root-covered trails of Pisgah to the smooth, flowy tracks of DuPont. We offer guided mountain bike rides tailored to your skill level and trail preferences, with recommended locations including Pleasant Ridge Park, Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and Kanuga Bike Park. While we do not offer Mountain Bike rentals, we’re happy to connect you with trusted local shops such as Sunrift and Freehub in Travelers Rest, The Bike Farm in Pisgah, or e-bike rentals at Kanuga.
