Best Bikes to Ride Around Margaret River

Why Margaret River Suits Mountain Bikes

The Wooditjup trail network has over 30km of single track, from flowy green runs to technical black runs. Add rolling hills and forest trails, and you really want a bike built for the terrain.

Here's a breakdown of what works best for bike hire in Margaret River.

Full Suspension Mountain Bikes

For Wooditjup trails, full suspension is the go. It's our most popular choice for MTB hire in Margaret River. Front and rear suspension lets you handle rough sections confidently and stay comfortable on longer rides.

Our dual suspension bikes have hydraulic disc brakes and geometry suited to local trails. The rear suspension keeps your wheel planted on roots and rocks – better traction, more control.

Best for: Wooditjup trails, blue and black runs, experienced riders.

Trek Rail 7 E-Bikes

The Trek Rail 7 Gen 3 is a full suspension trail bike with a Bosch motor and big battery. Same capability as a high-end MTB, but the motor takes the sting out of the climbs. If you're after e-bike hire Margaret River, this is what we'd recommend.

Margaret River trails involve a lot of climbing. On a regular bike, your legs might be done after a few runs. On the Rail, you can do lap after lap and actually enjoy the descents instead of dreading the way back up.

They also work well on the Wadandi Track – you can easily cover the whole 23km and still have energy for wine tasting. Good for groups with mixed fitness too – everyone can ride together at their own effort level.

Best for: More laps, conquering hills, mixed fitness groups, all-day rides.

Hardtail Mountain Bikes

Solid bikes with front suspension and hydraulic disc brakes. Lighter than full suspension, which helps on climbs. A good choice for Margaret River bike hire if you're newer to trails or prefer something simpler.

Works well on the green trails at Wooditjup, the Wadandi Track, and general exploring. Front suspension smooths out bumps, disc brakes stop you properly – real mountain bike capability at a lower price point.

Best for: Green and easy blue trails, Wadandi Track, newer riders.

Kids Mountain Bikes

Properly sized mountain bikes for riders aged 8+. Lightweight frames with Shimano components – not toy bikes. Kids can actually keep up on trails like Loosey Goosey and Cut Cork at Wooditjup, or enjoy family rides on the Wadandi Track.

Best for: Kids 8+, family trail days.

Baby Seats & Trailers

Baby seats (12 months to 4 years) and trailers for up to two kids aged 1-6. Both have safety harnesses and weather protection. Note: these are suited to the Wadandi Track, not the mountain bike trails.

Best for: Little ones on the Wadandi Track.
