HIRE - Argon 18 Dark Matter

Our Argon 18 Dark Matter Rival XPLR AXS is the perfect hire bike if you’re looking to get out of Edinburgh and explore some of Scotland’s incredible gravel roads, forest tracks and quiet country lanes.

Built around a lightweight carbon frame, the Dark Matter is fast and responsive on the road while still being more than capable when the tarmac runs out. It’s a great choice for longer days in the saddle, fast gravel rides or exploring routes where you’re never quite sure what the surface is going to throw at you.

The SRAM Rival XPLR AXS wireless groupset makes changing gear effortless, while wide gravel tyres and powerful hydraulic disc brakes give you plenty of confidence when the roads get rough, loose or steep.

We also include a full range of accessories free of charge with every hire — please use the drop-down menu below to select what equipment and accessories you require to ensure you’ll have everything you need to get out and explore.

Take some inspiration from the routes below and check out a few of the amazing places our hire bikes have already been!

Every hire includes a puncture repair kit, spare inner tube, tyre levers, and a multi-tool — so you’re fully equipped for whatever the ride brings.
