Welcome to your next favourite ride.

Thanks for your interest in our demo weekend. If you’ve ever wondered how much difference the right bike can make, this is your chance to feel it for yourself. Across two exclusive days, we’re running guided test rides on our full fleet of Pearson road, gravel, and race bikes.

You’ll join a small group of riders, head out from Forge 1860, and experience routes designed to show off comfort, control and speed. Our team will be on hand throughout to help with setup, fit, and any questions you have about the bikes or your riding.

When you book, you’ll select the exact bike you’d like to ride. We’ll set it up to your measurements before you roll out, so you get a true feel for how it fits and performs.

What to expect on the day
