I rented a road bike from KBL and had an excellent experience! Alan took great care of my needs and the rental was a great value. KBL allowed me to change my planned rental date on short notice because of a conflict on the planned rental day, the bike I rented was essentially brand-new and in excellent condition, and all of my emails were answered promptly and completely. Alan even went so far as to lend me his personal bike air pump since I was uncomfortable riding without one (none was needed as the tubes and tires on the bike were highly puncture-resistant). I rode the Botany Bay route to the Cpt. Cook memorial past Kurnell, and then rode back to the north part of the bay at Brighton before returning back to KBL. I had a great day of cycling and a great rental experience from KBL! Highly recommended if you are planning on renting a bike for the day!

I took an old Europa into KBL and was attended to by Lachlan. I really didn't expect anything could be done with it given its age and the 25 years it had been sitting in the garage. After a few days and some tyres and a little elbow grease and tweaking of gears Lachlan gave me a call. The bike is now as good as new. This bike holds allot of sentimental value as it was ridden and loved by a deceased family member. Lachlan was most professional and caring and didn't just treat it as just another repair job. Lachlan is an asset to KBL and I wouldn't send a bicycle to anyone else. Thanks again for all your hard work.

This review is long overdue. Few weeks back, I walked into the store to check it out, as I heard it was one of the new up comers in Sydney. There was a great selection, and the staff really know what they're talking about. It's great to see the amount of passion they have for their sports, where we spent some time sharing mountain bike stories :) Lastly, I was also impressed with the bike workshop, they have every tool under the sun, a mechanics paradise. Will definitely be back, you guys rock!

Hired eBikes here and it was an amazing experience! Super friendly service, great value for full day flat rate pricing that allows you to take time and explore anywhere (with a good little boost to keep legs getting too tired). They're also positioned right on the cycleway by the water between Kurnell and Brighton lesands so it's really easy to just jump on one of their bikes and be on your way. Convenient, friendly and a great day for all. :)

  • Clement Grech

Very good service. Fast and trustworthy. Mechanic Lachlan took the time to explain in detail what he did on my bike. They also called me to gather further information on what I was after during the service. Lots of specific parts and equipment that I was not familiar with are available on the shelves. They are open on Sunday which is a bonus. Invoice was very detailed, listed the torque figures, and very competitive value. Highly recommended.

  • Dale Howard

KBL were fantastic. We needed urgent help while we were on holiday, just passing through Sydney, and they went above and beyond to diagnose and sort our issue (a warranty repair). All without any need for us to delay our trip. I so wish they were our local bike shop - all the skill, knowledge, integrity and helpfulness you want from your regular mechanic and retailer. Highly recommended, Dale.

  • Slavo Boris

Great shop and products with a wide range of quality bikes and ebikes to choose from. I am very happy with the service and attention I received from a friendly staff who made me feel welcome and assisted me with all my queries. I tried the Rock Machine Blizzard 90-27 RZ Enduro out on the Sydney trails and it was a great experience. I definitely recommend Alan and the whole team at KBL Bikes!

  • Aspirated Aloha

Took my New road bike in to be correctly setup. Lachlan went above and beyond with his quality of work and customer service. Went over each and every thing on the bike with me, and it now rides like a dream. These guys are genuinely the best bike store I’ve dealt with. 100% recommend, If you want a bike set up properly by people who care, these are your people. Order#964 Thanks Lachlan.

I recently bought an e bike from Alan at KBL bikes Caringbah. My bike is European made and is a Superior e RX 650 . It has quality all Shimano components and is lighter than many other e bikes on the market. Alan is knowledgable and helpful and tunes and services all his bikes himself. He is also price competitive. I thoroughly recommend KBL bikes to anyone looking for a good e bike.

  • michelle redman

The service at KBL Bikes is heart warming, efficient and knowledgeable. The battery on my ebike was damaged and Alan and his team did everything possible to get me back up and riding. I would definitely buy from them because follow up service was brilliant, nothing was a hassle for and if things go wrong you want prompt service with a smile.

  • Martin Tadros

The team at KBL Bikes were awesome. I ordered my bike from BikesOnline and had it delivered directly to KBL Bikes for a pro assembly and riding gears. They also sorted me out with riding gear and advice for my next session out. Alan was extremely helpful and will continue to come back for anything bike related.

  • Alexander Williams

We hired E bikes for the afternoon from here on our anniversary. The service was awesome, bikes were top notch and we had super fun. As we had not rode these before, Toby showed us how to operate them and checked we were comfortable before we were sent off with directions to scenic pathway around the bay.

  • Vi Nguyen

I tried the Superior eRX670 Lady electric bike out of curiosity for ebikes. Great experience. Comfortable and easy to handle. The electric power assistance is very smooth and easy to switch between the different power levels. The bike was brand new and well equipped. Thanks

  • Tyce Barton

6 stars. I took my bike in for a service and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They looked over my bike thoroughly and made all the changes I asked for and more. They are happy to service any bike brand; mine is a Polygon (bought online). Highly recommended!!

  • Yannick Tran

I had 3 bikes serviced at KBL. Alan and his team were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The mechanic took time to explain all the work that needs to be done before and after the service. The price was also very reasonable. Very happy with the customer service.

  • Kipa Hulu

KBL Bikes was the only store in Sydney to have the Shimano Steps BT-E8010 Battery in stock. The customer service at KBL Bikes was unparalleled, with fast emails and even a door-to-door delivery offered by Alan when I told him I was sick. The price was good, too.

  • David Harrington

I can thoroughly recommend Alan at KBL Bikes. I recently purchased some accessories online and he took the time to reach out time and check that the items I was purchasing were correct for my bike. The items were shipped promptly and arrived in good order.

  • Quinn Stobbs

Good customer service and a great bike. The rock machine has great components and ran super smooth, I can tell he maintains it really well. Didn’t know rock machine before but it’s got dvo onyx and shimano xt with 203mm brakes and was a pleasure to ride.

  • O'Neill Govou

I have dropped my electric bike for service. They did a great job, very professional staff. They were very accommodating and friendly. Great service, great price, I highly recommended. Also thank you for helping out with my son bmx.

  • johnny John

The bike hiring process was easy, Alan was there on time to greet us, the bike was well set up which meant I could jump straight on without setup. The bike was well maintained and pleasure to ride. Would definitely recommend.

  • 渡辺安良

ブルーマウンテンズでのMTBライドで、レンタルバイクをお願いしました。彼(alen)は適切な価格で快く引き受けてくれて、さらにトレイル出口まで車で迎えに来てくれました。素晴らしいホスピタリティです。バイクは当然完璧なコンディションです。ヘルメットも新品をレンタルしてくれました。彼のお陰で素晴らしいトレイルライドか楽しめました。シドニーでのバイクライドの機会があれば、KBL Bikesにコンタクトすることをお勧めします。alenありがとう。
