Staff Bikes
A great perk if you stay for more than one season. You could be eligible to purchase a staff bike at a really good price. There is limited amount we get for our bike school staff, and you have to be on the list from the following season and meet the full-time requirements. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, we’re incredibly fortunate to offer high-quality bikes and unique opportunities to our instructors. That said, our allotment from sponsors continues to shift from year to year, and unfortunately, we’re not able to guarantee a bike for everyone..
They’re two main styles to choose from an Enduro Bike or Downhill Bike. Signing up doesn’t automatically mean you get one but you will be on the list and will get an email whether you were chosen to receive one for the following season.
Conditions that accompany purchasing a Commencal Staff Bike.
We are very excited about our new partnership with Commencal and continuing our relationships with all our other Bike Park partner. Providing our staff with the best possible bike for their job continues to be a priority and many people work very hard to ensure that remains possible. As Full Time Bike Park employees, you are a critical part of ensuring Whistler Mountain Bike Park remains the best in the world. Our sponsors place significant value on their partnership with the Bike Park, and view you as key ambassadors of their brands.
You are expected to use your bike at work in Whistler Mountain Bike Park. You must maintain your Staff Bike with components from official Whistler Mountain Bike Park sponsors only. If you choose/need to replace a part, it must be with one from a Whistler Mountain Bike Park sponsor.
You can find a full list of components for each of the different Staff Bike's here.
Please note, this year all bikes will come equipped with an air shock. This was determined by Commencal and Rock Shox as the best option for all bikes. If you ordered a Meta SX, this is a brand new platform for 2025 and you can find a review of the bike here. As noted in the review, the frame design can limit fitting a full size waterbottle on smaller frames. Consider purchasing an adaptor such as this one from Wolftooth in order to change the mount location. Another option is these Fidlock bottle systems.
You must keep your bike until October 10th, 2025. After that point, you can sell it if you wish to do so. Please keep in mind that we do not have a confirmed arrival date for next year’s bikes.
You are expected to be a good ambassador for Whistler Mountain Bike Park and represent our sponsors professionally.
Failure to adhere to these conditions could result in the loss of your privilege to order a bike in the future, or disciplinary action.
