Quite surprised of the good review here. My experience says otherwise.1. Purchased the bike online (yes they have bikes) but never received any courtesy calls or tell me when the bike will be ready. I had to call myself asking for status.2. After I picked up the bike, dropped it off to another shop to install handlebar. They showed me the stem expander plug screw was stripped and expander plug was not even tight. Rear derauiller b-screw were off so the other bike shop had to adjust it.3. Rear rotor disc was over tighten not to spec. Stripped the disc rotor teeth. Now I have to buy a new rotor and locking rings.
Owen helped me out today with a few purchases and the shop crew slapped it together in no time. I’ve been coming to this shop forever and will continue with this kind of service. Glad Andrew keeps quality and knowledgeable workers that care about your bikes as much as I do around.
Great experience working with the team at Scotts Valley Cycle Sport. They were very friendly and open to share their knowledge and experience when choosing a bike, and went beyond what was expected in ensuring that I was completely happy with my purchase. I wouldnt really consider another place going forward for purchasing or upgrading my bike.
ATTENTION!!!Just so ya’ll know… I have bought 4 bikes from these guys along with service work as well …. Every time it’s smooth as silk…never a problem that couldn’t be sorted out easily!!! Very important to me….Andrew, Ryan,Robin,Owen and everyone else…. You deserve a little praise now and then!!!Keep up the Great workLarry
What a great group of people working here. Ryan, Cooper and crew were super helpful from the first phone call to bike pickup. The bike was set up properly and explained thoroughly. I will be going back! Thanks guys and gals.
I bought specialized status here and had it break within one week of riding. After paying specialized for the crash replacement, i had the shop put together my new bike. When I went to go pick it up, my brakes were not bled, and the shock installed had no spacers in it even though i specifically asked them to put in 4 spacers. When I asked the shop tech if he bled my brakes they told me to come back in a hour even though they said the bike would be ready. They charged me 300$ for assembling my bike and forgot to put the dust cap on for my cranks. After calling them about it multiple times, I have gotten no response. This shop takes customers for granted and exploits them. I would highly advise not going here and driving down to ABS instead. At least there you get what you pay for.
These guys are amazing! The repair shop is full of guys who know what they are doing, are super friendly, down to earth, efficient and frankly, they bent over backwards for me. Thanks to Robin and Ryan in the service department for all you have done for me. You are still my favorite bike shop 🚲.
The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Great selection of bikes, apparel and accessories. It is the go to bike shop in Santa Cruz County..
Best bike shop in the Bay Area. Kind and corteous people from store to sales to tech department to owner. Great at accommodating special orders and requests. Very strongly recommend.
From the moment I walk into the store, I am acknowledged and greeted. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the mechanics are knowledgeable and provide great service. Simply a trustworthy store.
Nice people. I had a new seat post and needed help installingfor a SC 5010. Low priority, take your time, I said. I had the bike back and ready to go the following afternoon. I’m stoked!
SVCS has been and will always remain my favorite cycling shop. Good people combined with great service will always win out. Keep up the good work! 🏆
Great mechanics and sales staff, always very helpful and accommodating. Great selection of parts and gear. In my opinion, the best bike shop in Santa Cruz country by far.
Bought a S-Works Creo at Scotts Valley Cyclesport and absolutely love this bike! The shop has been amazing to service it (have over 4000 miles on it) . They are knowledgeable and do excellent work. Honestly don’t know what I’d do without them - they keep my bike in great working order, help me with purchases like tires, and their suggestions have been right on. They are honest and supportive, and of course love all types of cycling! I highly recommend them!Chris Z
Super fast shipping! Great selection for a difficult to find part. Overall, great experience.
Great selection and extremely helpful staff, plus top notch mechanics. I have bought multiple bikes both road and mountain from Cycle Sport over the years and highly recommend.
Great team. Great communication and even better quality of execution
I was looking for a Specialized bike that was out of stock online and everywhere else around in SF Bay Area but this store. I recommend it to everyone.
One of the best local bike shops, good value and great service👍
I’ve been going to SVCS for nearly two decades and even though there are shops closer to my house I make the trek to Scott’s Valley because of Cycle Sport’s product selection and customer service.SVCS’s location can’t be beat because of its proximity to Henry Cowell state park and the Hwy 9/UCSC trails.I’m excited the owners purchased Family Cycling on 41st Ave in Capitola and I can’t wait to see how the remodel turned out but I will most likely remain a SVCS fan and continue to make the journey from Live Oak because of the staff!SVCS, Thanks for helping me be a better rider and the extra effort you put in to make sure my bikes are functioning for my next ride!!!
Walked in and had phenomenal experience. Staff was super nice and helpful, will recommend and visit again!
I highly recommend this shop! We rented e-bikes for 2 days and a SC Hightower LT for a week. Bikes were all in great shape and worked flawlessly. Very helpful sales staff and mechanics are top notch. If youre looking to rent or get a bike repaired dont waste your time looking for a better shop. They even stayed after hours today when we screwed up on closing time. Thanks again folks! Sincerely the Canadians...
Ryan Is great. Brittany and Andrew run a great shop. SV Cyclesport 👌🏻
Excellent service, very thorough and knowledgeable staff.
I had a broken chain they fixed me up and Liam also tightened my hanger which was loose on the derailer !$40 And 30 minuteslater I was back out on the trail thanks Ryan and Liam
Great staff, helpful and friendly! Bought my second bike from them 3 weeks ago (a green Turbo Levo Expert) after demoing a similar bike. Both with the demo and the purchase they were helpful, patient, and even through in a little extra something. BTW the suggestion for the purple pedals - spot on! Its an amazing color match :)Thanks!
Nice shop. Friendly, helpful staff.
They boxed and shipped a bike to me, excellent packing job bike arrived in perfect condition.
Some of the most stuck up employees in any store I’ve ever been to. Better off going to any other bike store in Santa Cruz to avoid the egos of the people that work there.
Wouldn’t recommend ever going to this store, they do a good job servicing but the employees make you never want to step foot in the store ever again. Just go to a Santa Cruz bike store they have better prices there anyways.
I’ve been very happy with the service, team, and quality of products SVCS offers. I’ve also observed they’re dialed in with helping a range of skill levels and ages of riders. So if you’re new to a bike, not sure what you want, or need help, they will treat you right and make sure you’re getting into something that works well for you. Lastly, I support all local bike shops and we’re fortunate to have a lot of great shops in our county that carry several different brands. The overall vibe, knowledgeable team, friendliness factor, and helpful attitudes of people from this shop are definitely notable.
They had the float x2 that I couldnt find anywhere else to make a super smuggler. Thanks Scotts!!!
Appreciate Andrew calling to clear things up.
Properly diagnosed and repaired the problem over night!
The crew at SVCS are great, super helpful and answered all of my questions. Ryan also went above and beyond, helping my girlfriend find the right e-bike for her style. Love this shop, will buy from them again.
This shop is of the culture and for the culture of cycling. Great customer service. Top of the line selection of bikes.
SVCS is the epitome of a rider owned and operated bike shop. Located in Scotts Valley, right at the gateway to the Santa Cruz Mountains and some of the best riding in the Santa Cruz area. Owners Andrew and Brittany Cavaletto along with their team of fellow cycling enthusiasts will get you set up, dialed in and ready to hit the trail. Whether you’re looking for the latest in bikes and gear, a great selection of rental bikes or that one spare part with impeccable mechanics to get you back in action……SVCS has you covered!- Ride the Redwoods | Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Tour Guides
Andrew and his team at Cycle Sport are phenomenal. I was on the hunt for the new S-Works Tarmac SL7 56cm, Cycle Sport surprisingly had this in stock. I submitted an online request to verify stock and Andrew promptly replied and verified it was in fact in stock on a Sunday night!!!I purchased the SL7 that night with a few accessories, Cycle Sport was able to deliver to deliver the very next day from Scotts Valley to Livermore the next day! All of this while Scotts Valley area was under evacuation due to the unfortunate fires from the recent lightning storms.Cycle Sports bike guru Carl took his time and setup the SL7 and did the initial fit.Thanks to everyone at Cycle Sport!
Great shop, Big selection excellent service! I was helped by Copper who was very friendly helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back
Rented a bike with this shop online and the entire experience was seamless. Bike was ready and waiting for me and worker showed me how to operate the e-bike. Price for rental was better than competition too.
Have bought two bikes from SVCS, both times the customer service has been excellent, highly recommend!
Good service, got a bike special order before they released it, and got a discount on my accessories plus they didnt charge me for the preorder. Good bunch of people in the shop.
Outstanding and impressive. There are not many bike shops that can order a brand new Fox fork on a Monday and get it that Wednesday. Scotts Valley Cycle Sport did. They told me by the end of the week so maybe its not always so fast. Ive worked in two bike shops and I do almost all my own bike work but I needed to visit this shop to get a Fox fork ASAP. Beside the fork, I was genuinely impressed by the wide array of equipment and bikes to check out. I was in and out pretty quick but enjoyed looking over the Light & Motion lights and tool selection while in line. Someone or some team definitely put effort and care into organizing this shop. Many thanks.
Very poor at maintenance. literally have had to replace or have another shop work on every single part they touched. avoid taking your bike to this shop at all cost.
First and foremost, great people! Knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help! Love the ability to text the business... receive timely responses as well.Great prices... the least expensive of the 4 different places we visited. Large selection of bikes and a great location to test ride a hill.Thanks SVCS for everything!
Courteous, knowledgeable and down to earth staff. Amazing customer service. Inventory and selection was top notch.
The service department is friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable
I have shopped here for years. The owners are racers across multiple disciplines and really know there stuff. The service department is also top notch. If a wide variety of quality bikes and a knowledgeable and professional staff are what your looking for, then definitely give this shop a try.
Very friendly professional staff. They let me try a couple bikes, explained to be the different features, helped me find what suited me best. I found a bike that I liked and I never felt pressured to buy like a used car salesman would do. They genuinely cared about me finding a good bike. When I said Ill think about it, the employees gave me a card with the model and encouraged me to do whatever research Id like to do and come back when Im ready. Really awesome experience.
Fantastic service with a friendly staff!!
Nice shop with good inventory of bikes and accessories. People there know their stuff and are easy to work with, thanks to Cooper, and the two people (didnt get his or her name) for making it quick and easy!
Absolutely an amazing shop. I have visited a lot of other bike shops in Santa Cruz, and many are very, very good. But when I visited Scotts Valley Cycling they were OUTSTANDING and head and shoulders above any bike shop I have worked with and even purchased bikes from. Even though I live in South County, Santa Cruz, I drive all the way there because Andrew and his staff are just plain superb. Even when busy, they gave me their full attention. When I tested an electric bike, Andrew had a staff member go with me who explained how to use it and took me up some very steep hills. Then he swapped bikes with me so I could try the next size up to make sure I knew what fit. I cant say enough about this shop and its staff.
Easily the greatest bike shop in Santa Cruz county. Andrew and Brittany are super helpful and knowledgeable. They pretty much know EVERYTHING about bikes, which is exactly what you want in a bike shop. I’ve been competitively racing road and mountain bikes since 2008 and there’s nobody I trust more with my bikes than this crew over there.
Got my new bike a week ago, when the guy was casing the joint. He was creepy, just for the record.Anyway, Brittney and Seth were both Awesome! LOVE my new bike! Thank you for taking the time to make sure I was comfortable and a week later cutting the seat post to make this short girl even more comfortable.
They no longer rent out bicycles.
Super people to work with, the mechanics are top rate - super knowledgable and quick turn around times. I come a long way for the superior service. Ive bought several bikes here and have been happy every time. Cant say enough good things.
I went to Scotts Valley Cycle Sport to change a tubeless tire. The bike was only a couple months old but I ran over a nail. I bought the tire and the charged for install plus tire, tape and sealant. They told me it would be ready in 20 minutes. I came back in 30 and they said it was going to take a couple more hours. Came back again, picked up tire and it was flat as soon as I got home. Brought it back the next day and they said that I needed to ride it so the sealant would distribute. I tried that and rode if for about 25 miles - no problem - but it was flat again the next day. Brought it back in. THey said Tape wasnt done right, so they cleaned it up, filled it up. Seemed to be ok so I brought it back home. Rode it for 5 miles and then it went flat again. Brougt it back it in and they said the tape job wasnt done right. I didnt have patience to go throught the cycle again (at that point it was my 5th trip there for this tire!) so I asked for a full refund. I gave them 2 stars because they agreed to a refund.
Made an appointment for some service because my (more) local shop couldnt see me for two weeks. When I realized I wasnt going to be able to drop the bike off before closing due traffic form the valley, I called the shop to let them know and the owner, Andrew, picked up and volunteered to stick around until I could get there. The work was done the next day. Ive always had great service from SVCS, but this is how you distinguish the great from the good.
The best selection, staff and service in Santa Cruz county!
The people here are friendly and knowledgeable, great selection of bikes/accessories/parts.
Possibly one of the most impressive customer service experiences that I have ever had! Ive owner a LOT of personal and commercial equipment over the years. Which means I have had to deal with many different service departments from NY to CA. I have to say that my recent visit to Cycle sport was amazing. I took my Santa Cruz 5010 in for a new shock install, derailer adjust, and front fork rebuild. Ryan (the 16 year+ experienced service mgr) recommended the perfect fit for me and my riding style. Within two days, the parts were ordered, installed and I was back on the trail smashin my new suspension to the max! Amazing store and employees. Thanks guys and keep up the passion and pride that is so hard to find these days!
I wanted to share my awesome experience with the team at Scotts Valley Cycle Sport. I recently purchased my first E-Bike from them (Specialized Turbo Levo) and couldnt be more pleased with the level of service they provided. Andrew took his time to find me the right gear (jersey, shorts, shoes, helmet, pedals, bike rack) while being mindful of my budget. He had his guys set up my suspension for my weight and riding style. His wife Brittany took her time to show me the ins and outs of how to use clipped in pedals as I am a brand new rider and new to all of this. She also helped me download my Mission Control app and showed me how to tune my bike based on how I was intending to ride. I came into their shop with minimal knowledge and mountain biking experience and left feeling confident and ready to ride! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to purchase a bike or gear, thanks SVCS you guys have earned a lifetime customer!
Everything a bike shop should be -super enthusiastic, fun, friendly and smart employees and expert mechanics. They go out of their way to help you and more, sometimes to the point you actually start to feel guilty about how much service they provide to you. Definitely the best bike shop in SCZ county. Extra kudos for supporting the high school cyclists, local bike community and letting my dog eat their concrete floors.
Went in there for my first time since they had their old shop a center or so away. Super pro right off the bat, treated us righteously and completely hooked us up, there were two of us who needed help and the went wayyyyy above the bar. I live in Santa Cruz and ride there mostly, they treated us like we were some of their familar faced rat pack crew. Thanks so much, we will be back, and the most recommended shop around Santa Cruz that I can think of- and I’ve been to them all since before the nomad 1. Cheers!
Great company to work with. They will make sure you are taken care of even in the worst situation. I definitely recommend buy, renting and shopping here!!
These guys saved my vacation! I had a problem with my rear Magura brake, and the mechanic went above and beyond to get me up and running the same day. Awesome service!
Top notch cycle place in Scotts Valley. Great selection of bikes and gear. I like the service I get here. Call ahead to schedule a bike repair to be sure it gets in and serviced on time.
Just stopped in to rent a couple bikes from SVCS and they had exactly what I was looking for. I called ahead and everything was ready to go when I arrived. Overall a great experience and awesome staff.
My Favorite shop. These guys have everything you need! They are always smiling and willing to help out. I want to be their best friends
This outstanding bike store caught our eye on the way to our favorite hiking trail at Henry Cowell. Neither my fiance nor I are electric bike experts so we didnt know where to begin. We were helped by a tall young gentleman who explained the nitty-gritty of ebikes.
Recently bought a base model 2019 Turbo Levo from here with some upgrades, I worked with Andrew. He was able to order in my requested suspension upgrades very quickly with good communication throughout the transaction. He was very knowledgeable about the Levo and its technology and was able to help me pick out the model that made the most sense for me and likely a better package then if I had bought an off the shelf version from Specialized.
Danielle “Director of Fun” helped us find great trails and was very knowledgeable about women’s specific mtn bikes. She is an asset to the mtn biking community! Highly recommend you go talk with her before your next purchase.
Stopped by to get some some advice on mountain bikes, Shane really helped me make some decisions and figure out what I really needed in my next bike.
Andrew and his team are excellent. They provide great service and products in a wonderful, aesthetically pleasing environment. I really like this place!
We don’t live in Santa Cruz much less California and have never dealt with SVCS before; however, after demoing a bike from their demo fleet and dealing with their staff, owners, and service team, we quickly became buyers.SVCS is awesome in so many ways. They have outreach programs to the community, they have a mobile bike doctor and I truly feel they are interested in encouraging a strong cycling community and promoting health through cycling.Brittany, Andrew and the service team were incredibly helpful to get us the bike we wanted at a fair price and deliver it as promised.If you think you will save a few dollars purchasing your bike, components or clothing online; you are missing out on a fantastic opportunity to deal with an incredibly personable bike store who will help you take your cycling to a new level.
Hands down best bike shop in Santa Cruz county. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Best invatory is Santa Cruz and Specialized bicycles!
Great place for bike repairs
I ordered a brake for my bike. That was in fifth grade. IT’S BEEN SIX YEARS and I never got the call saying it arrived.
Very nice shop and they fixed my bike quickly and hood price
Every time I go in there the people are always friendly and very helpful. Their advise has been extremely helpful for someone new to the sport.
The owner and the staff are awsome, the inventory is very well thought out and of the highest quality. Ive been a customer for yrs, and love going there. THANKS CYCLE SPORT, DAVE THE PAINTER.
Great local bike shop. Staff are very helpful and have good selection.
I shopped around quite a bit before deciding to buy my S-Works Roubaix, and really happy I found SVCS. Andrew & Brittney have established an amazing culture at SVCS. I was brand new into cycling and was treated with respect and as if I had been in it for years. Andrews enthusiasm of cycling is evident and they conduct business exactly how it should be. Aaron (staff) is also first-class, very experienced, smart and knowledgeable about cycling. All-around pros
Service is top notch. Thanks!
