The pivot · 2024

We rode it on gravel.Then we switched.

Colombia's Andes aren't scenic gravel roads. They're steep, technical, wet, and unforgiving. After riding the routes with a gravel fleet, we made the call: MTB only.

Every bike in our fleet was rebuilt from the ground up — suspension, brakes, drivetrain, tires — for what the terrain actually demands. Not lighter. Not faster on tarmac. More capable where it counts.

The Andean Kit

One setup. Built for everything Colombia throws at you.

You choose how many days. We handle everything else — the bike, the bags, the helmet, the tools, and the people on the other end of WhatsApp when something goes sideways at kilometer 80.

The Complete Bag Setup

You arrive with a backpack. We handle the rest.

Four-bag system mounted on the bike before you land. Locking clip mechanisms — not basic hooks — chosen for rough off-road terrain after rider feedback in 2023.

FAQ

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, just message us. Most riders ask 2–3 things before booking — that's the whole point of WhatsApp-first.

The MTB (full suspension, Shimano components), complete bag system (frame bag, handlebar roll, rear panniers, seat pack), helmet (fitted and sanitized), full repair kit including brake pads, and the correct tubes for your bike. Plus pre-trip planning, a video call with us, and WhatsApp support throughout the ride.
A hydration pack/CamelBak is strongly recommended — the bikes have one bottle mount, which isn't enough for long remote days. We'll tell you exactly what to bring on our pre-trip call.
We fit the bike to your height and riding position at pickup. We have a range of sizes. Tell us your height when you message us and we'll confirm availability.
Yes. We'll discuss the deposit amount and terms when we confirm your booking.
Message us and we'll sort it out. Bogotá pickup at our location is standard, but we're flexible.
Message us on WhatsApp. We'll troubleshoot with you in real time. The repair kit covers most on-trail issues. For anything bigger, we'll figure it out together.
We generally recommend a minimum of 3 days to make the logistics worthwhile for both sides. Message us for shorter trips.
Message us with your group size and dates — we'll work something out.
We're human. We'll adapt. Just message us as soon as you know.
Yes. English and Spanish fluently. German conversationally. We'll make it work.
