Very much appreciated Greg's honest and experience-based input. The equipment was great; we landed on the right route for my skill set (solo run), and had a blast!! Big Thanks again!!

We just squeezed in a Ride on the Downieville Downhill on 21 October. I have been using Downieville Outfitters for both rental bikes for guests, and shuttle services for over 10 years.Yesterday, for so Many Reasons, I screwed up and we did not make the 9:00 Shuttle to the Top. We had come quite a Ways to do the Ride, but thought we may be skunked this time due to ...me. The Owner worked things out for us, even though the next Shuttle was booked Solid.Where else would you find Service like That??? We had an incredible 14-mile descent thru 4,000+ feet of beautiful scenery, with the trails in near-perfect shape.Thank you, and we will be back!

Love the gear here! Plus, it helps that they shuttle to some really awesome trails. I try to shuttle here at least 3 times a year, and I always use these guys. They are really cool people with great service.

Not sure what the hype is all about. $20/rider for a ride was somewhat reasonable, but $35 now? I pass.

Downieville Outfitters has very nice people working there. They are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, and answered quite a few of my questions about options for upgrading my Santa Cruz 5010 for a better Downieville experience. The shuttle service was fantastic as well.

Great place to have a beer after the amazing ride at Downieville.Make sure you have enough money to pay for the beers though, they will ask if you do.... well maybe they asked us just because we are mexicans...

We had a wonderful experience with Downieville Outfitters. Our group of 4 did their shuttle trip to the top of Downieville Downhill trails. We were running a tad later than planned and the owner was so accommodating helping us get bike rentals. Their bike rentals were in excellent shape, I'm often let down from rentals but not today and I'm glad because the trails we rode were legit and I'd hate to have been on a shabby bike. After setting up our bikes the owner told us to take the bike out for a test drive which I thought was really nice because no other shop I've rented from has done that. The bikes felt awesome! He had our seat height and suspension all dialed in perfect before we even arrived.The bike shop is stocked with lots of great stuff and good deals.Part of the shop has a restaurant where we grabbed breakfast to go for our shuttle ride.The owner gave our group a special seperate ride up. On the way he was so friendly and informative and gave us so much history and interesting info about Downieville and a great description of how to find our way through the trails and back to the shop.Our day was a blast! I highly recommend this shop for the shuttle tours, rentals, merchandise and yummy food! A++

My friends and I got stuck in traffic due to construction on the way there. We showed up 10 min till our scheduled time. They already filled up can full of riders so ordered some excellent parfaits and waited for the second van. The second van shows up and the guy driving us up the mountain was really cool and told us some of the history of Downieville and Sierra Butes. Turns out the guy driving us was the owner. Really awesome company and restaurant next door, could not recommend enough!

We had a reservation on Friday at 9am for 5 riders, with a confirmation email to prove it. The whole group arrived at the storefront at 8:30am to check in, and to our surprise, the person checking us in said we were late. He said we were booked on the 8am shuttle and that there were no other shuttle spots available for the day.Obviously there was an error somewhere between the email confirmation they sent us that said 9am, and the pen & paper tracking system they were using that said we were on the 8am shuttle. Shockingly, they blamed our group for the mistake they obviously made. Really?!? We all drove 3 hours for the shuttle and they not only gave us no options, but they blamed us for the error?Thankfully Yuba Expeditions was running shuttles that weekend, they happily accommodated us. We'll never be booking a shuttle at Downieville Outfitters again.

Awesome shuttle service, really friendly and rad shop, and the Bronson rented by one member of our group was fully dialed. So worth it!

Great place to catch a shuttle up to the top of the Downieville Classic. Price has increased to $35 which makes sense with everything going on at the minute and not a bad price at all for 2 miles of downhill. Would suggest calling ahead to book a reservation.

The reason we give this 4 starts is because of their scary booking system. The first time I called I booked 3 people for a 9am shuttle. I called 2 weeks before our ride to confirm our booking. The guy told me that I only booked 1 person. Which clearly is not the case since I was with 2 other people. Whatever. Booked again 3 people for 9am. 1 week before our scheduled ride I again called to confirm and make sure. Well, we still had our booking. For 9am & 1pm. I told them no, I only booked for 9am. Guy said no problem. Cancel the second one and we are booked for 3 spots at 9am. A couple of days before our scheduled ride, I again called because I had this weird feeling that we might not be booked. They could not find my 9am booking. It was at 11AM. The day of our ride came and we were booked for the 11am shuttle. I think this ended up good but could have easily been a different story if it was busy and they couldn't get us in.
