If any of you are lucky enough to have a Cycle Gear close by, you know how handy it gets.

The one here in West Palm Beach ROCK!!! The boys that work there are great and customer service is fantastic! I bough a pair of glove last week and went back there to change them of a pair of large. They also trade my old short glove that I bough last April because of the velcro that got undone. I event ask about my boots zipper that broke... bring them in he said. I'll get a new pair!

Well... Thanks a lot Cycle Gear, made my day!

Cycle gear is awesome! I just checked out their online site and was amazed by some of the prices they offer, better prices than things I can get on ebay.

I agree! I have one a block away from my house its a blessing ang a curse (only because I spend too much $$$)

The guys are awesome all the gear I have ever got there is really affordable!

Only thing I would recommend is to never purchase replacement parts like levers and morrors ect. there they always seem to be 2 or 3 times what they cost online..

I agree, prices are great, and service and selection is excellent.

I bought some heated gear (in Lynnwood, WA) there and the extra large glove inserts don't fit so I brought them back, but unfortunately they were out of the large size that I needed, and they've called me twice to let me know they are still looking for them for me.

you can sign up for their specials. those boots, gloves etc that are usually 99. sometimes drop down to 79. even 49. once - makes you wanna buy some even if you dont need right now just for spares

Cycle Gear is great as long as you stick with known brands from them. Stay away from their house brands like Bilt and Sidici. Theyre garbage. Even their own sales guys will admit to that most of the time. I saw a $300 one piece Bilt suit rip down the seem when a guy bent over! Didnt even hit the ground. You get what you pay for with gear.

I do buy a lot from their "superstore" thats a few minutes from my work. I just make sure to stick with the known brands. (Astars, Dianese, etc...)

You're right about the Sidici, I didn't bother getting the Bilt stuff... You can tell just looking at it. I bough the shorty Sidici glove, I'm on my 3rd pairs. When they rip off I trade them in. Velcro give up on the last pair. Same with my boots. I used them for 10 months and the zipper took a $hit last week. They will exchange them. TheSedici pant last me about 3 weeks before the inner lining rip... twice (2 pair of pants) for the 3rd pair of pants I pic the tourmaster instead. My Sidici jacket is still ok but the inner lining start to show sign of wear.

I will agree with you but I have been purchasing Bilt helmets they are just great bang for your buck and they are rated other than than I dont have a whole lot to compare against as far as crash protection

Cycle gear in my area, there is only 1, while they have good helpful staff, is always a damn mess. They have hardly anything not Bilt/Sedici in stock to actually try on.
I did get my Dianese jacket for $250 from them.
I have bought bilt golves and boots, both still useable but I do not. The boots seem good, but after 2 weeks use they are about as supportive on the ankle as melted butter would be. The gloves, while useable, the strap broke day 1, but for the $10 I spent on them I just taped it up to fix it.

I did buy 1 sedici thing that has not failed on my yet, leather pants, but then again they got used 1 time last yr, and prolly 1 or 2 this yr (if they hold up). I only got them cause $100 for a 1 day a yr use was alot better than a 2k suit or 3-500$ for just pants.

Good news about their hose brands, is they have lifetime guarantees (don't see why!! when all their shit sucks). So if your willing to deal w the hassle of going into the store to have them replaced when they fail, then it may be worth it. Otherwise stick to the known brands.

We have two Cycle Gears within a short ride here. While I don't shop there for my jackets, I have bought Sedici perf gloves, which have *really* lasted, as well as both a Bilt rain top, reflective vest, Bilt Ironhorse slider pants, some boots, some *great* "Freeze Out" gear, other things... But, they're very convenient for oil and other fluids, cleaner, lube, filters, accessories...

Plus, they have a no-questions asked return policy if anything they sell fails, for about five years, and a lifetime for their own brand name. So, they're not going to be the price leaders on big name brands, however, they're great when you need something *now*, or for those types of things they sponsor, which happen to work (like the "Freeze Out," Sedici brand outerwear, etc.). And, their sales are sometimes too good to pass on --

Get on their mailing list... they put out a catalog every few weeks.

The one that used to be in El Cajon near where i live and the old san diego store was like that. Tiny and way too much stuff crammed in a little space. But this new store they opened in san diego is HUGE and they have more Astars and Dianese stuff than even their house brands. One place theyre really lacking though are gloves. They have a lot of the lower level gloves even in the big names but try to find a pair of Astars GP gloves or any of the high end track type gloves and youre SOL.

The thing theyre best at at least in san diego is their off road stuff. Especially this time of year, desert season rules and they have EVERYTHING for dirt bike boys.

I thought that too, then I went back with a broken pair of boots (two years old), and their policy was explained to me (here)

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

If anything you purchase from us fails to live up to your expectations, we will replace or refund the undamaged product within 30 days of the original purchase date. It's that simple.​

There is a 5 year guarantee for BiLT, and a lifetime on Sedici though.

I bough a pair of boots last year around this time and the zipper broke about a month ago, they replace the boots no question ask. My zipper broke again Saturday... I stop by the store on Sunday, they were open... woohoo!

The model I had is discontinue, they have a new model out. I was chatting with the kid working there and explaining to him that it sucks that the Sedici gears doesn't last... because I really like the look and how they fit on me. He explain to me that the brand is still quite new and they are working on improving there product. Since they didn't have my boots in my size anymore he let me upgrade to the new model by paying the difference $20.00 or so!

I felt a difference right away. The fit of the boots are much better and the quality seams better... time will tell. Even the jacket, I like mine but the few thing that I didn't like they change it the way I would have done it. Even the inner material has been upgraded. The price is a but higher but I don't mind paying a bit more for some good quality. I'll get the jacket later on for sure, I'm waiting to see how there pants look like.

Another thumb up for Cycle Gear!

One in a few miles from us, great store. Like most have said, something tears, rips or breaks, just take it back no questions asked. :)

We go to their bike nights (Cycle Gear) and jam to the rock and roll bands, eat a few wings or hot dogs and just have a good ole time. :D
Never won anything from their give away drawings though.
