Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 167 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. People consistently praise the incredibly friendly and professional staff and instructors who make every coaching session highly engaging, supportive, and carefully tailored to individual riding goals. Reviewers also love the exceptionally well-maintained bikes and the remarkably smooth hire process, ensuring a fantastic and memorable day out exploring the forest trails. However, some customers also noted occasional minor mechanical issues with rented equipment, such as front shocks being accidentally locked or bike chains coming off during rides. A few visitors additionally mentioned that the forest tracks could occasionally feel quite rocky or that the physically demanding sessions left younger participants pretty tired by the end.

1:1 Coaching with Brendan Berry

1:1 Coaching with Brendan Berry - Amazing! My 16 yr old absolutely loves the summit and goes out on the trails for coaching too. Always organised and a jam packed session. His riding and skills have improved massively.
Very very tiny moan - booking multiple 1:1 sessions on the website is quite hard and has to be done 1 at a time.

Today

Today, I had a 1:1 coaching session with Aidan. I'm an experienced rider, but Aidan brought on my jumping and cornering quite a bit further. He's knowledgeable, skilled, and a patient and clear coach. Loved the day. Great value, top quality coaching.
Highly recommended.

An amazing evening

An amazing evening. My son and my first trip to the Summit at Swinley, we arrived early and were immediately looked after. The team talked us through the setup. Seemless bike and kit hire, lots of fun on the trails. Very friendly and encouraging employees and fellow riders. Added bonus of pizza night... couldn't of been better. We will be back

Hooked again

Struggled to book online (problems at my end) so turned up and hoped for the best. Was lucky and my daughter and I hired out 2 bikes for 2 hours. Haven't done offroad cycling for years. The bikes were excellent. The trails were great fun and the whole park is gorgeous! Great team, great bikes. Think I'm hooked again.

Five stars for Swinley Bike Hub!

The whole organisation for our group was absolutely perfect. The 3 coaches accompanying us were impressively knowledgeable, friendly, professional and went above and beyond in providing a superb service.
We all had a great time. Thank you!

Whyte T-140 at Swinley bike hub

The bike hub booking system and staff are excellent. When I ordered a bike I asked about pedals and Will put on a set of gusset pedals with pins that meant I had good grip. I loved the ride of the bike, it was playful and poppy, smoothing trail chatter and making jumps super fun. I found myself going way faster with the same effort as on my GT Zaskar LT hardtail. I sessioned some of the red trails to test the bike and myself - I reached my limits before the bike reached it's. Swinley trails and the facilities there are awesome. That's why I keep coming back.
