Mountain Biking Insurance

Specialist mountain bike insurance for individuals, teams and coaches  

Mountain biking is a super popular sport in the UK. Not only is it a great way to improve fitness, but it also offers opportunities to get out into the countryside and gain a different perspective on the scenery. Whenever you jump on your mountain bike, there can be risks of injury to yourself and others, as well as damage to mountain bike related equipment. For mountain biking instructors, there’s the risk of legal claims if someone injures themselves while riding under your guidance.  

Mountain biking insurance through Insure4Sport is designed to help riders, teams and instructors with tailored cover.  

Please note: Mountain bikes are not covered under a mountain biking insurance policy through Insure4Sport, however you can get a quick online quote for your bike through Cycleplan, part of the Ripe Group.
