Elevation Bike Co is an excellent MTB store and repair shop based on my five interactions with them on various issues so far - asking for advice, buying gear and accessories, bringing bike for repairs and testing out a demo bike on a mountain. Scott and Charlie appear to be knowledgeable about all aspects of mountain biking and they consistently apply this knowledge while taking into consideration your individual situation. They do it without an attitude or upselling, so you feel comfortable going back to their shop for your next need. You can also clearly sense their sincere passion and respect for the sport whenever you deal with either one of them. Charlie and Scott were fast with my repairs and communicated effectively in the process. The products they suggested turned out to be of great value so far. I recommend to check out Elevation Bike Co to anyone who enjoys mountain biking and who needs to buy a new ride or a part, to have their bike fixed or just to get an expert advice!

Best bike shop I've been to in the City, by far. Nowhere else knows mountain bikes so well. Deserves all five stars. Charlie is a really nice guy. That alone is reason enough to like a bike shop...but beyond that, he's a skilled mechanic with a ton of experience, who goes out of his way to accommodate your schedule and needs. Every time I'm in there, they have an interesting stable of demo bikes and a nice selection of components. A total gem in the Sunset, and worth going out of your way if you live elsewhere in the city.

  • Bob Groenke

This is a very strong bike shop with highly skilled mechanics. Small, core bike shop. Customer service and pricing are top notch; quick email communication, personal service. Charlie and Scott will also go out of their way to help you learn about your bike. I used to go to another shop that was pretty good (MTB) but they can't match this level of service and very fair and transparent pricing. This is my shop now even though I live in Marin. Best mechanics in the Bay Area!

  • Grant Ly

My rear derailleur hanger bolt fell off my mountain bike and I couldn't ride. I dropped by Elevation in hopes they had the special bolt available. Charlie welcomed me in and was able to spare me one, which saved the weekend for me! Not only that but when I mentioned I was looking to get a full suspension bike eventually, he happily explained to me the main differences between the bikes, the brands, types of suspension, etc. I will definitely be back soon for that bike!

  • Bryan O'Sullivan

I was introduced to Scott and Charlie of Elevation by a friend who's known Charlie for a long time. I met them at a demo day at China Camp, where Charlie spent a few minutes tweaking my bike to run better just for fun (and for free!). Since then, I've dropped my bike into them for service and had a fantastic experience. They are very friendly, knowledgeable, and non-pushy, so simply excellent people to do business with.

  • Robert Mah

I am pleased to have discovered this great bike shop just around the corner from my home. Scott and Charlie are both very knowledgeable and friendly. As serious road cyclist with an expensive road bike, I am very particular about who I trust working on my bike. Charlie is a top-notch mechanic. His work on my shifter upgrade truly exceeded expectations and he will now be my regular mechanic.

  • Thomas Chi

Just picked up my bike after Charlie did a tune up, changed out the brakes and chain. It’s riding like a dream. They do great work! I had another bike shop try to fix a mushy feeling of my rear brake (which they caused) three times and they ended up just telling me it was my imagination after charging me a hefty price. Now the brakes work like new. Really appreciate their excellent work.

  • James Murney

Great, small, friendly shop! I am new to the area and the owner was VERY helpful with product advise and suggestions for good areas to ride. I will definitely be back! Support your LOCAL bike shops! Update, still AWESOME! Great advice and tips on a small maintenance project i am starting.

  • phillip forino

The shop owner is pretty incredible. He helped me get my bike squared away for a good price and gave me tips and advice along with answering all my questions. A genuine nice dude who knows what he’s doing. He’s got tons of parts and bikes and has always greeted me so kindly. 10/10!

  • Christopher Slack

These guys are the best in the bay, excellent service with no attitude. Scott and Charlie truly go above and beyond. They provide multiple service options detailing pros and cons to each, while not putting pressure on you to do the more expensive option. I can't recommend enough!

  • Rome Arnold

Nowhere else I'd go in the bay area for MTB tune up / repairs! Charlie truly knows his stuff and won't do unnecessary repairs just to upcharge like some shops do. Fair prices and good honest work. Also has an amazing collection of retro DH bikes that are a wonder to behold.

  • Mike Alexandru

Great customer service, extremely knowledgeable ownership, and fantastic pricing. Thanks for stellar pricing and amazing buying experience, Charlie! If you're in the market for a sick DH, Enduro, or All-Mountain bike, then you definitely need to check out Elevation Bike Co.

  • Emmett Cunningham

Capable, smart and trustworthy mechanics who love mountain bikes. Not going to charge you un-necessarily. They told me to go buy new brakes online instead of offering to repair my old brakes at the same price or more.

  • Paris Moore

When I brought my bike in to their shop they made me feel welcome and I felt like they really want to help me with my situation i'm pleased to found a good bike shop with good people and good mechanics thumbs up!!!!!

  • Matthew Bickford

Elevation is a fantastic shop. They do not have a huge REI or Walmart inventory, but will offer you expert advice on purchasing a new mountain or gravel bike, and is a top notch place for tuneups and maintenance.

  • adam m.

Best bike shop in SF. Charlie is a great guy and knows all bikes, especially high end mountain bikes, which other shops sometimes lack. Fantastic service, fair prices, extremely friendly staff.

  • Joe Morse

I’m so happy to have a local shop, driven by the passion of the owners, and focused on making biking more fun! I’m just sad it took me so long to get around to checking the place out!

  • Jackson May

Charlie is the man. BEST mountain bike mechanic in the whole bay area. Only shop I know that actually knows their stuff and fix anything, new or old.

Very legit shop run by folks who have been mountain biking since back in the day. I've had nothing but great experiences with Elevation.

needed a simple, but hard to find part, and was taken care of immediately so I could get back out and ride ASAP

While they don’t sell shoes here, the staff were incredibly helpful at recommending other local shops who did.

  • Joe Augusten

Very knowledgeable, affordable, friendly, no attitude. What else could you ask for in a bike shop!
