Platinum Tune (BCBR)

Why register?
As a Platinum Tune rider, you will have a team of professional mechanics working late into the night to ensure that you don’t have to! Think of us as your personal bike valet and repair service, working while you rest up for the next days adventure. 

Why register early?
This year’s race is going to be the busiest one on record, with over 800 racers already signed up. Our Platinum Tune is limited to 30 spots so be sure to register soon. You can register before  May 1st, 2026, for only $1400, a $200 discount off the regular price of $1600. 

What can you expect?
Great Service!
On registration day, please register with BC Bike Race first to get your racer number then bring your boxed or unboxed bike to us and we will begin preparing it for 7 days of the Ultimate Single Track Experience. You can also chat with us about tire choice, suspension set up and even bike fit. You’ll can then head off to sort out your accommodation, meals etc...

Your bike will be waiting for you at the race site each morning, ready for the days adventure. At the finish of each day’s race, come to our service writers, receive a carbonated beverage😉, tell us how the day went and what aspect of your bike we should pay particular attention to. Leave the bike with us and you are free to stretch, walk, swim whatever you want to do to get ready for the next day. Your bike will receive another pro level tune up and be waiting for you at race start the following day, ready for another thrashing.

FAQ

Question: Will you transport my bike for the week?

Answer: Yes, we will transport Platinum Tune bikes to and from the race site each day.

Question: Are parts & accessories included?

Answer: No, only service labor is included.

Question: What other hidden costs are there?

Answer: The Platinum Tune is designed to cover all the service labor your analog bike requires for the week of BCBR so there should be no additional service labor charges unless your bike requires the removal and reinstallation of an eBike battery or drive unit in which case it will be charged separately at $140/hour. Bike fitting is a separate service which will be charged at $140/hour + parts.

Question: Can I bring my own spare parts?

Answer: Yes, we encourage you to bring your own spare parts. We cannot possibly stock parts for every make and model of bike on the market. Bringing your own parts is the best way to ensure that we’ll be able to keep your bike running smoothly for the week. As we work through the night all week, we recommend dropping off your box of spare parts with us on registration day so we can avoid having to wake you up in the middle of the night to get your spare parts. You can pickup any remaining spare parts from us at the end of the week.

Question: What spare parts should I bring?

Answer: After 18 years of servicing BCBR, the most common parts that need to be replaced are:

• Brake pads
• Spokes & Nipples
• Tires
• Proprietary frame hardware such as bolts, spacers, nuts and bearings
• Derailleur hanger

Question: Where do I pickup my bike each morning?

Answer: After we’ve completed each bike, it is taken to the designated BCBR bike storage coral where all the other bikes are located.

Question: Will you service my eBike?

Answer: We will only service the mechanical aspects of the bike such as drivetrain, brakes and suspension. We will not diagnose and repair electronic components. If a repair requires the removal and reinstallation of an eBike battery or drive unit, it will be charged separately at $140/hour.
