Our selection of road bikes and gravel bikes at our Las Palmas Bikestation 24 is tailored to the mountainous landscape of Gran Canaria, where long flat stretches are a rare exception. That’s why we offer endurance frames for road bikes and gravel bikes.
The most in-demand road bike models here on Gran Canaria are our endurance road bikes, the KTM Revelator Sky — carbon frame road bikes equipped with either a Shimano Ultegra or Shimano 105 groupset with hydraulic disc brakes. For even smaller gear ratios and stronger braking power, we offer the KTM X-STRADA 10 gravel bikes.
Since we cater to a broad audience, all our road bikes are equipped with a compact crankset (50/34) combined with an 11-34 cassette. The gravel bikes feature a 46/30 crankset and an 11-34 cassette, making them even better suited for steep climbs. Our road and gravel bikes come standard with two bottle cages and a lightweight emergency air pump.
Also included in the bike rental price: a spare tube with tire levers, a helmet, and pedals of your choice. We offer Shimano SPD, SPD SL, and LOOK Keo pedals, as well as standard flat pedals.
KTM X-STRADA 10 Gravelbike rental
Our KTM X-STRADA 10 features a lightweight orange-black aluminum frame with a carbon fork and is equipped with a Shimano GRX 11-speed groupset. The 46/30 crankset and 11/34 cassette at the rear allow for even steeper climbs, while the 180mm disc brakes provide enhanced performance on steep descents. The 40mm wide gravel tires offer greater comfort on occasionally rough asphalt surfaces compared to 28mm road bike tires.KTM REVELATOR SKY road bike rental
The KTM REVELATOR SKY has an aesthetic and lightweight carbon frame specially designed for disc brakes. Our SKY Revelator rental bikes are custom built versions with the newest Ultegra 8000 groupset for medium and bigger frame sizes 55 cm y 57 cm and with the newest Shimano 105 7000 groupset for the smaller 49 cm and 52 cm frame sizes. The Shimano 105 ST-R7025 shifters with revised STI levers are especially optimized for riders with smaller hands, reason why we user the 105 shifters and groups for the smaller frame sizes. A robust and lightweight DT SWISS ER1600 wheelseet with thru-axles offers the adequate stiffness and minimized drag for wheels with disc brakes.Gravel bikes are not suitable for off-road riding on Gran Canaria!
We explicitly do not rent out our gravel bikes for off-road use. The unpaved gravel roads here are not comparable to the terrain conditions in Central Europe: gravel bikes are not designed for hard rock formations, sharp, coarse volcanic gravel, cactus needles, and other obstacles. Riding on local off-road trails is only permitted with our mountain bikes.
Road Bike Routes arround Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Only the the 10 km long bike lane along the Port of Las Palmas is a flat section – all other road bike routes demand some fitness for climbs of at least 600 meters to the Village of Terror or the Bandama Crater as popular waypoints. The very skilled riders reach the highest mountain Pico de las Nieves with 1950 m in arround 3 hours. There are generally 3 main routes leading out of the city of Las Palmas:
- climb up from old town Vegueta to Tafira
- climb up from west end Guanarteme to Las Torres and Tamaraceite
- leaving the City on the GC-2 highway westwards along the north coast
Take our road bike routes posted on the Komoot App as inspiration how to get out of the city and which tours are recomendable.
