Safety Over Everything

Great rides are safe rides, and Trek Travel provides the best gear when it comes to keeping you safe and seen on the road. From the most advanced helmet tech, disc brakes, and powerful Flare R lights to certified mechanics on every trip, you can enjoy the scenery without the worry. It’s safe to say, no other tour operator goes the extra mile like we do.

WaveCel Helmets

Trek Travel offers superior helmet technology to our guests. Helmets on trip feature WaveCel, Trek’s newest in advanced helmet impact protection that disrupts 30 years of accepted safety conventions.

Created by a team of doctors, researchers, and engineers, WaveCel protects your head and can help absorb the energy created by an angled impact. WaveCel has been shown in a recent study to be up to 48x more effective than traditional foam helmets in protecting your head from injuries caused by certain cycling accidents.*

*See Evaluation of a Novel Bicycle Helmet Concept in Oblique Impact Testing, Accident Analysis and Prevention 123 (2019) 58-65. www.trekbikes.com/what-is-wavecel. Based on reduction in rotational acceleration at impact (6.2 m/s at 45°) of head + neck model wearing traditional EPS foam helmet vs. helmet modified with WaveCel insert. Probability of injury in an actual accident depends on numerous factors, including nature of impact and individual health.”

Be Seen with Flare R

We make every ride even more safe by providing you with Bontrager Flare R lights. Flare R is ultra-lightweight, durable, and rechargeable, and it’s equipped with optics and flash patterns proven to be the most eye-catching for drivers. Most importantly, it’s the first tail light designed for daylight visibility, so you can be seen from over two kilometers day or night. Find it exclusively with Trek Travel.

 

 

Domane Disc, a Ride that Can’t be Beat

What do you get when you combine the lightweight stability and comfort of the Domane with the superior safety, high performance, and stopping power of disc brakes? The cycling vacation of a lifetime with the industry’s best bike along for the ride.

Why disc brakes you might ask? Disc brakes are the next level of safety and offer a whole new kind of reliability and stopping power. They provide more consistent, easier and precise braking, giving you the confidence to enjoy your favorite rides and descents without hand fatigue.

Special Edition: Glamping in Glacier with Under Canvas® and Glamping Hub

Get ready to experience the majesty of the outdoors like never before. Cozy up in a luxury tent, linger around the campfire and stargaze from your private deck. This is glamping in Glacier.

Glacier National Park isn’t just another protected wildlife site in northwest Montana. It’s one of Mother Nature’s most prized possessions, crammed end-to-end with snow-capped peaks, blue skies, moose, big-horn sheep, mountain goats, aspen trees and inspiration. As a slightly less challenging adventure compared to Bryce & Zion and Crater Lake, Glacier offers up terrain that caters to various rider abilities, with plenty of avid options as well as e-bike availability.

Join us for this special edition glamping trip with our friends at Under Canvas® and Glamping Hub. You’ll experience glamping at its finest in a luxury safari-style tent just outside the park. When you aren’t soaking up nature in style, you’ll spend your days exploring this magical landscape on and off road as we tackle some gravel riding, raft the rapids of the Flathead River and Ride Going-to-the-Sun Road across the Continental Divide and along the spine of the Rockies. You’ll quickly discover why it’s been named one of America’s most scenic roads.

We mean it when we say Under Canvas® has perfected the art of luxury camping, allowing you to be close to nature without sacrificing comfort. Rooms feature a king bed with linens you’ll wish you had at home, a wood stove to keep the tent warm at night and a private deck that allows you to enjoy the brilliance of the stars. Plus, we all know you’re wondering, each Deluxe tent includes a private ensuite bathroom complete with a shower, sink and flushing toilet. So as you settle in each evening, breathe in deep the fresh mountain air and let the rustle of the trees and the sounds of the surrounding forest sing you to sleep, just as it has for centuries of travelers.

Not only is Under Canvas® one of the best in glamping accommodations, but Glamping Hub can help you find even more around the globe. Glamping Hub specializes in delivering unforgettable experiences in nature through a curated collection of unique outdoor accommodations. With over 35,000 properties around the world and 23 categories of structures to choose from, glamping with Glamping Hub is more than just where you go, it’s also why you stay.
