MOUNTAIN BIKE INSURANCE

Our mountain bike insurance provides protection for your bike, kit and accessories whether you’re riding in the UK or taking your MTB abroad. The policy includes cover for crash damage, theft (including from vehicles), third-party liability and legal expenses, helping you ride with confidence.

If you take part in MTB events, enduro races or downhill competitions, our mountain bike insurance can include this too, with the option to upgrade to our Performance or Ultimate tiers for higher limits and additional features. Choose annual mountain bike insurance for ongoing cover or short-term insurance for a single trip, and save up to 60% with our multi-bike discount.

Mountain bike Travel Insurance – Cover for You When Riding Abroad

While our mountain bike insurance looks after your bike, our MTB travel insurance is designed to look after you. Mountain biking carries unique risks, and many standard travel insurance policies – including those from banks – may limit or exclude cover for it. Our travel insurance for mountain bikers provides protection for medical emergencies and other mishaps while you’re on your MTB holiday.

Whether you’re tackling alpine descents, riding in bike parks, or exploring remote trails, you can travel knowing your cover is tailored to the way you ride. Combine our mountain bike insurance with our mountain bike travel insurance for complete peace of mind – for both you and your bike.

Why do I need mountain bike insurance?

Finding a comprehensive mountain bike insurance policy can be tricky, particularly if you are trying to cover your bikes through home insurance.

We know mountain bikers regularly travel to bike parks across the UK, and covering mountain bike theft from vehicles is essential.

mountain bike insurance

Flying to mountain bike resorts in the Alps or further afield means you likely need cover for your mountain bikes and bike boxes in transit.

Challenging yourself on difficult trails comes with a risk of crashing, and accidental damage cover means you can ride freely and confidently.

We’ve designed our mountain bike insurance policies to cover all of these risks and much more besides.

You can scroll down for the key insurance features, or you can click for an instant online quote.

We offer three separate packages to suit different types of mountain bikers, but we find our middle-tier ‘Performance’ cover is a good fit for most.

The Performance policy insures your mountain bike against accidental damage (including crash damage while riding) with an individual bike limit of £15,000 and a total bike limit of £50,000. Your bikes will be covered against theft if stolen from a locked car or van, as well as from your secure garage, house or flat. If you’re travelling out to Morzine for a holiday with your mountain bike, it will be covered against damage by the airline while in a proper bike box. All of the cover you’d have in the UK is extended to Europe for up to 30 days. Your mountain bike will be covered against theft from a hotel room and against damage on the trails.

If you’re travelling outside Europe, need cover abroad for more than 30 days, or are competing on your mountain bike, the Ultimate package is for you. This keeps you covered while racing in MTB events.

The Key Features
ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE
(INCLUDING CRASH DAMAGE)

With mountain biking, it’s a case of go hard or go home. You’ve spent money on a bike that can handle being ridden hard, so you deserve to enjoy it. Should the trail cause any damage to your bike, or should you take a spill, our policies have got you covered.

COVER IN TRANSIT

Airports can be risky places for bikes. Luggage handlers don’t always appreciate the value of the machines they’re chucking through the air, and expensive equipment can get damaged. Our Performance and Ultimate package cover your mountain bikes for any damage while in the care of airlines, letting you fly in comfort. Upgrading to an Ultimate policy will add emergency bike hire. If you arrive in the Alps and find your mountain bike is unrideable, we’ll cover the cost of a hire bike so you don’t miss out on any riding.

CYCLE EXPERTS

If something happens to your mountain bike, we want to make the claims process as quick and easy as possible. We know that the only way to give a great service is to handle all of our bike claims in-house, and hire the best people to look after them.  All of our mountain bike claims are handled in our office by a team of bicycle experts. We have recruited primarily out of bike shops, and keep our claims handlers up to date with all of the latest mountain bike gear. This means our team and can deal directly with suppliers and local bike shops to repair or replace your mountain bike as quickly as possible.

WORLDWIDE COVER

Our Ultimate package covers your bike anywhere in the world for 120 days, giving you access to the best trails around the globe. If you’re just riding in Europe, coverage is offered in the Performance package for 30 days. The UK has some great trails, but you’ll find the best abroad.

THEFT FROM VEHICLE

Most mountain bikers aren’t starting their ride from their front door, but driving out to local trails or larger mountain bike parks in the countryside. Our policies are designed with this in mind, and both the Performance and Ultimate tiers include cover against theft if your bikes are stolen from locked vehicles, or while locked to a roof rack. So go, explore, and ride where the best trails are!

MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING

Mountain bike racing can be a risky pursuit, but with our Ultimate policy, you’re free to compete in any discipline confident in the knowledge that your bike is in safe hands. This includes downhill and enduro, both commonly excluded on other mtb insurance policies.

3RD PARTY PUBLIC LIABILITY

We cover third party claim costs of up to £2M on all of our policies, and there’s no excess to pay. This includes damage to property, costs associated with collisions with pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. This is valid everywhere except for North America (including Canada).

Racing is only covered on our Ultimate Bicycle Insurance policy
