Sabino Cycles

This is one of the finest bike shops I have encountered in my mountain biking tour of America (the lower 48). Steve, the owner, is hands-​on and his staff is friendly, helpful and competent. I went there originally (a couple of years ago) to rent a bike, which they don’t do. But, they put me in touch with a guide who did — great service, even though they didn’t make a dime on it.
Then, on my second trip, I brought my 29er and my fat bike to them. They serviced them, recommended some repairs (I clearly needed) and got it done quickly and reasonably. In addition they helped me with the repair of my Thule bike rack.
I will use this team anytime I’m in Tucson!!!

I only started cycling about two years ago, so I still consider myself a newbie.
Anyway, I stopped in at Sabino Cycles and brought my bike in because I wanted the seat moved back, but it was already pushed as far as it could go. While I was chatting with the maintenance guys about what I wanted, Jason happened to be there and was listening in. He asked me a couple of questions and based on my answers about how it felt while riding, he said, «I know exactly what the problem is and it doesn’t have anything to do with the seat.» Long story short, it turns out I had the wrong bike frame size altogether. I was on a 51 and the proper size for me was 54!
I felt no pressure to buy a new bike, but because Jason took the time to explain to me what was going on, I was confident my issues were never going to be solved with my current bike. They have a great selection of Specialized and I got a great deal on a Ruby that fits me beautifully and rides like a dream.
When you go to Sabino Cycles once, you’ll never go anywhere else. Steve, the owner, has built a great team of friendly, professional bike enthusiasts who are adept at speaking to customers at all skill levels. They have a new maintenance area, too, that is well stocked and staffed by guys who really know what they’re doing.
I rarely write reviews, but Sabino Cycles is a true Tucson treasure.

I was pleased with Sabino Cycles after my first visit there a couple weeks ago. I needed pedals and mountain bike shoes together and was hoping to find a deal for a pair. Unfortunately they didn’t carry the shoe I wanted in my size but one of their employees was patient enough to help me find some to try out. While I waited I looked around their sales floor and notice that they have a good range of road bikes and mountain bikes at reasonable prices. Their floor guy was nice enough to bring me some shoes to try on which were nice but a tad outside of my budget. I was on the fence and asked if they could do a deal on the shoes with a pair of high end pedals but they chose not to budge a dime on either. This was disappointing as I guessed other Tucson bicycle shops would give me a bargain for the same equipment so they got my business instead of Sabino. I will plan to return because they do have good service here but even for a small business they should be more open to doing the occasional deal for clientele who are spending a lot of dough on cycling equipment.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Lots of good supplements and accesories

I’ve been riding for a few years now, and have been to several shops in town. Sabino Cycles is the first shop to take the time to explain things to me, and gain my trust. They make the best recommendation for you, based on what your needs are and not based on what they want to «sell» you. Chris Stringer in the shop always takes the time to go over what he did to my bike and answer any maintenance questions I might have. Steve, the owner, is very helpful and has worked me in to their schedule on occasion when I had a race coming up and a minor issue with the bike that needed to be looked at quickly.
Everyone is super friendly and informational. They have a good supply of specialized and high end items that you could want as well. I always feel comfortable leaving my bike there and feel like when I leave, I know they will stand behind their work. It’s a great shop, with great people and I’d recommend them to anyone that loves their bike and wants to know it’s in good hands.

Every time I drop in at Sabino Cycles looking for cycling gear, parts, repairs or advice I am helped by a super friendly group that knows cycling. I just arrived in Tucson (the Cycling Mecca) in January and was thoroughly pleased to have found this gem of a bicycle shop. After converting my Cross bike to more of a Road bike in order to (attempt) to get myself ready for El Tour de Tucson, I was given solid advice in the process. These folks are great and I highly recommend them.

I haven’t been in since they’ve been under the new ownership of Steve, who used to be at Broadway Bicycles, and I was excited to see what developments had occurred.
I stopped in looking for a pair of mountain bike shoes. I was surprised at the depth of their selection, as most shops only carry mid-​bottom line of each brand. Sabino Cycles carries almost the full line of Specialized as well as Pearl Izumi and Northernware.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have what I was looking for but the person who helped me (unfortunately I can’t remember his name) went above and beyond trying to help me find something that would work.
The store itself is big but not overwhelming and they have a good selection of the bike basics (shoes, clothes, accessories, etc) as well as a full-​service shop and several high-​quality bike brands such as Specialized.
I’ll definitely be back!

The Heath and Jason team at this bike shop helped tremendously in our quest to find a Giant bike replacement of a Giant that was discontinued. The new one came in as predicted in the Giant pipeline, we received a phone call and we arrived in Tucson to have these guys meet the individual’s needs and fitted on the bike … Absolutely fantastic!!! They are to be appreciated for their customer service!

Thinking of purchasing a new bicycle in Tucson? Check out Sabino Cycles. Nicest bike shop people in town and they offer very good advice with an emphasis on safety and maintenence. Feel free to test ride to your hearts content. Great selection and they will order a bike for you as well if they don’t have it in stock. BTW, they offered the lowest price anywhere, including online, for the bike I wanted. Love my Specialized Vita Elite!

The staff here is super friendly & always willing to help.
i hate to admit that most things in the shop are a bit out of my price range, but if you’re looking for TOP quality cycling stuff… anything from bikes to lights… this is the place for you!

Wow. Sabino Cycles has EXCELLENT customer service. Have bought two bike there. Bought some new MTB shoes… they proved to be a little small after three rides and Sabino exchanged them at full value for a new pair, even though they were slightly used… just made my day, as I thought I was out a fair amount of $$. I will be back.

Love Sabino Cycles ~ Why don’t they have more reviews? Everyone I talk to raves about the work they do to make their bike perfect again. And as for buying a bike they have a nice selection, we bought a bike for our son, for me and for my husband all very different and all perfect for each of us. The owner is great and staff is wonderful. Well worth a visit, if they don’t have what you are looking for I know they will point you in the right direction. Happy cycling!

I had just finished lunch in the strip mall and was stuck in the rain. And I had cake to go. (Remember the song, someone left the cake out in the rain). I went in to see if they had a nice rain poncho. They didn’t & the sales lady didn’t laugh at me because it would be hard to fit your helmet on over the hood of a rain poncho. We both had a good laugh at me. I told her about my electric bike and asked if they could fix the non-​electric stuff, because they are really convenient for my truck owner brother and I. She said they’d be happy to help.

My niece was moving to Tucson, she is a freshman at U of A, and I wanted to get her a bike to get around campus. The one problem, I am in Columbus, Ohio and needed a bike in Tucson. I called Sabino Cycles and Lorna was wonderful to work with. I told her what I needed and she called me back in 15 minutes and said no problem the bike would be ready for pick up by Friday (I called on Tuesday). Lorna called me back on Friday to let me know the bike was ready and the total charge. On Sunday, my niece and sister picked up the bike and said Lorna was such a great person and very helpful. I really appreciated the help coordinating this since I am 2,000 of miles away. and my niece loves her new bike!

First time rider and will be a long time customer. Phil was so helpful an explained everything I needed to know about road bikes. After my fitting we found that I was not going to fit into anything in the stores. He called all over the sate, then the west coast, and finally found one on the east coast and had it delivered! He made sure to send me updates and really listened to me about my budget! I can tell that he was trying to make me happy and not trying to make a sale. This is my first time buying a road bike and it is quite the investment, I’m so happy I chose Sabino as my LBS as I will turn to them for anything and everything!
Thanks!

The staff was super nice and helpful. When I told them I was new in town they offered to show me the local routes on a ride the next day!
