World Class Trails

From right in town S Mountain and Methodist Mountain trails to the beautiful backcountry riding of the Monarch Crest your visit will be one you will remember for years to come and keep you coming back. These trails are perfect for testing new bikes before you make your purchase. A percentage of your purchase goes back into advocacy to keep our trails open and maintained. Check out current Trail Conditions.

Location, Location, Location

On the bank of the Arkansas River in beautiful Salida, Colorado, Absolute Bikes is in the middle of a cycling paradise. Colorado’s Arkansas Valley, particularly Salida, is blessed with year round riding due the milder winters the “Banana Belt” provides us. This makes Absolute Bikes in Salida an excellent hub for your cycling adventures.

Family and Pet-Friendly Town

Come on out with your family and pets and make a weekend out of your new bike purchase. While you are testing bikes on the trails your family can enjoy the river, parks, hot springs, food, and fun that Salida offers. This is a very pet friendly town and you will see many people enjoying the trails and river with their furry friends. Visit with our Shop Dogs.

Advocacy

A portion of each purchase goes back into our community through youth cycling programs and teams, Salida Mountain Trails, and other advocacy efforts.

Bike Museum

Remember your first mountain bike? Shawn Gillis (shop and museum owner) has curated a collection of old mountain bikes, aka “All Terrain Bikes” and “Klunkers,” from the early 1980s through the early 2000s. Approx. 50 of them are on display inside the shop. The collection also includes some classic road bikes, full suspension forks and helmets. You’ll have memories flood back when you take the time to look up the walls & ceilings.

What Our Customers Have to Say

My brother-in-law and I had a great experience at your shop. We just walked into the shop and were able to hit the trails within 30 minutes. I was planning on bringing my hardtail 29er along to Salida but having the opportunity to rent a full suspension bike at a good price was definitely the way to go. Both of our bikes kicked ass and the staff was great! The only downside of the trip was not having enough time to do a guided tour through the Monarch Crest Trail. This was my first time to Salida and I’m sure I’ll be back.
