Our tips for choosing the right bike
With summer in full swing, outdoor activities offer a new way to stay active and enjoy the pleasant weather. Thanks to our partner, Loisir Sport Outaouais, and its Circonflexe program, Relais Plein Air gives Gatineau residents the chance to enjoy the outdoors by renting our brand-new bikes. And the best part? Rentals are free for all Quebec residents for up to one hour per day upon proof of status (driver’s licence, health insurance card, Accès Gatineau card, etc.). Not sure which bike to choose? Don’t worry—you’re in good hands.
Mountain bike
Whether you’re looking for a new challenge or simply want to get back in shape, our mountain bikes are the perfect way to get started on your next outdoor adventure. With our Devinci Marshall SX 12S, you’ll be able to tackle the most technical trails Gatineau Park has to offer.
With a high-quality full-suspension system and a frame designed for rocky, narrow trails, this bike will be your ultimate companion for discovering a new way to explore Gatineau Park with confidence.
Our mountain bikes come in three different sizes:
- Small for riders between 4.9 and 5.5 feet tall.
- Medium for riders between 5.5 and 5.9 feet tall.
- Large for riders 5.8 feet and taller.
Our small frames come with 27.5-inch wheels, while the other sizes have 29-inch wheels.
Please note that suspension pressure may be adjusted based on your weight to ensure the best possible experience!
Electric bike
Looking to go for a road ride but feel your experience could use a little more excitement? Our electric bikes are the perfect choice for your next outing.
The pedal-assist Devinci E-Milano E5000 8S will make it much easier to tackle steeper hills, and its front suspension system will keep you comfortable. With a manufacturer-estimated range of 185 km (at the lowest assist level), you can ride the park’s road trails over long distances with peace of mind. With three different levels of electric assist, you can choose the one that best suits your needs or goals!
Decided to have a picnic halfway through your ride? Our bikes are also equipped with a rear bike bag so you can carry your belongings!

Fat bike
Are you a beginner, and none of the other models interest you? Fat bikes are the perfect solution!
Best known as a winter bike, the NORCO Bigfoot 3 is also the perfect place to start.
With much wider tires than other bikes, fat bikes offer greater stability while pedaling and help the tires grip the ground more easily, making it easier to climb hills. With this bike, you can explore a wider range of terrain without having to ride a mountain bike!
This bike comes in four different sizes:
- Small for riders between 5.1 and 5.5 feet tall.
- Medium for riders between 5.4 and 5.9 feet tall.
- Large for riders between 5.8 and 6.0 feet tall.
- Extra large for riders between 5.11 and 6.4 feet tall.
