Gravel bike rental in Palermo
Palermo is a seaside city where it is impossible not to have fun, eat excellent food and drink excellent wine. During a holiday in Palermo it is a good idea to hire a gravel bike and go for a ride in the mountains around the city or on the dirt roads around the center such as those of Monte Pellegrino, Pizzo Manolfo, Mondello and Parco della Favorita. 40 mm wheels, Shimano GRX transmission and hydraulic disc brakes for guaranteed fun among the dust and trees of the dirt roads overlooking the sea.

If you are trying to imagine what you can do in Palermo with a gravel bike, here are some suggestions. Of course, a lot depends on what you like to do with your gravel bike. We have hired gravel bikes to riders from all over the world and had many different experiences. Some cyclists rode trails that are normally ridden with a mountain bike, others rode almost exclusively asphalt. However, most of them rode the GPX track that we provided free with the rental and they were very happy.
