Bolivar Tour – Rental Bikes
In this article
Planning to rent a bike for our Bolivar – Bogotá to Cartagena tour? Here's what's covered: the two bikes available for hire — the Time Alpe d'Huez X carbon road bike and the Argon 18 e-bike — full specs for each, and rental pricing broken down by Stage 1, Stage 2, and the full Epic route.
At Ride and Seek we understand the importance of a good bike beneath you.

That's why we offer premium bike rental for our Bolivar Tour in Colombia: choose between the Time Alpe d'Huez X, a full carbon road bike with Shimano Ultegra Di2 shifting, or the Argon 18 e-bike for extra support through the Andes.
Rental pricing is available across Stage 1 (Bogotá to Manizales, 14 days), Stage 2 (Manizales to Cartagena, 10 days), or the full Epic (Bogotá to Cartagena, 22 days) — full specs and pricing are below.
