product demos
Each year on Ride The Rockies, numerous bicycle and bicycle component manufacturers travel with the tour "demo-ing" their products. Ride The Rockies cyclists can test-ride products ranging from Continental tires to Mavic wheels to Serotta titanium bicycles.
This is your chance to get on a bike or a set of wheels that you have been dreaming of trying!
Here's how it works:
- Each afternoon of the Tour, starting on registration day, visit a demo tent.
- If it's a bicycle manufacturer, they'll select a bike that fits you, adjust the saddle height, then remove the pedals from your bike and put them on the test-ride bike. The next day, you ride the test-ride bike while the manufacturer transports your bicycle.
- If it's a wheel maker, they'll remove your wheels and install a set of test-ride wheels. The next day, you ride the test-ride wheels while the manufacturer transports your wheels.
- After enjoying a new bicycle or bicycle component for a day, return it to the demo tent.
Most of the manufacturers do not charge a fee, though they may require a deposit charge on your credit card to be refunded upon the return of the product.
The product demos are very popular so many of the manufacturers take advance reservations at their tent, starting the Saturday before the ride begins.
Ride The Rockies would like to thank the demos for their support in our charity efforts. Each demo partner has donated a high end item to be auctioned off at our 2nd Annual Silent Auction Tent where all proceeds go directly to Denver Post Charities.
