MTB Monster

MTB Monster grew out of its team’s enthusiasm for mountain biking when it opened in 2014, and its focus expanded as electric bikes changed how riders climb and repeat trails. Today it operates as a specialist mountain and eMTB retailer, with online sales and a Lancashire showroom where customers can compare models before deciding.

The showroom displays around 100 bikes, with additional stock available. Its selection includes hardtails and full-suspension bikes, children’s models, gravel bikes, and a broad range of electric bikes, from full-suspension eMTBs to lightweight and touring options. Brands featured include Santa Cruz, Trek, Whyte, Orbea, Mondraker, Cube, Haibike, Marin, Amflow, and Transition.

Seeing a bike in person is central to the store’s approach. MTB Monster maintains a mountain bike and eMTB demo fleet so customers can try selected models and compare geometry, fit, suspension, and assist systems. Some demos can be ridden at the store or on local trails; availability varies by bike and can be checked before making the trip. The store also offers appointments and video appointments to show the showroom remotely.

The shop rounds out its bike sales with components and riding gear, including brakes, wheels, drivetrains, suspension, tools, lights, pumps, pedals, tires, inner tubes, locks, luggage, clothing, helmets, gloves, and protective gear. The range supports everything from a single replacement part to setting up a bike for a particular kind of riding. Online guides and sizing advice help customers compare models and configurations.

The workshop handles maintenance, repairs, suspension setup, and component installation. Its mechanics are Cytech qualified, and pre-delivery preparation includes a 26-point inspection; electric bikes receive additional checks, diagnostics, and software updates where applicable. The team also provides warranty support and installs frame-protection kits in a dedicated fitting space.

The relationship continues after a bike leaves the showroom. MTB Monster offers financing and Cycle to Work options subject to its terms, and prepares bikes for shipping with protective packaging, an inspection checklist, and included accessories or chargers where applicable. The company says many bikes need only straightforward final assembly; preparation and delivery details depend on the order and model.

The showroom is at Fairfield Business Park on Longsight Road in Clayton-le-Dale, near Blackburn and within reach of regional roads. The website mentions customer parking and complimentary local coffee; visitors may drop in or arrange a visit if they want to see a specific model. For anyone comparing a higher-value mountain or electric bike, the combination of showroom, demos, workshop, and technical advice makes it easier to assess the full package before buying.
