About Krank Cycles

Krank Cycles has been dominating the bike scene on Maui since 2013. We consistently provide our clients with the highest level of workmanship and customer service. We are the top choice among bike enthusiasts in Hawaii. To ensure trouble free bike service and excellent bike rentals, our highly trained expert mechanics use top quality parts from the industry leaders like Fox, Devinci, and Shimano. We are proud to bring excellence and integrity to the bicycle industry. As a matter of fact, without a proper bike, it can be very difficult to enjoy the abundance of bike trails that Maui has to offer. A rental bike must be physically inspected by a person who has training and experience to determine if that bike is safe. Mountain bike and road bike companies send their assemblers to special training so they can ensure safety and identify hazards.downhill-rider.

Assessing the safety of a bike is often subjective, with damage ranging from rust and flat tires to loose hardware. Improperly adjusted brakes are an immediate safety hazard and will quickly result in damage to the bike and quite possibly the user. Therefore, it is easy to determine the need for this type of examination.

With rust damage you will find tiny corrosion granules damaging key bike components. These granules can eventually lead to bigger issues. Maintaining routine bike service will stop this corrosion from deteriorating any important metal on your bicycle. This also allows any other weak points of your machine to be pinpointed and addressed. For this reason, our trained bike professionals carefully spend countless hours maintaining our rental fleet.

We will fit you to a bike of your choice, skill level, recommend some of the best bike trails that Maui has to offer, and make sure you have a safe and pleasant day! Hope to see you soon.

Shuttle/guide For Skyline Trail Maui?

Unfortunately, there are no shuttles or guided trips on the Skyline Trail. There probably never will be, as the trail goes through native Hawaiian lands.
Some of the biggest reasons are the many sacred places throughout the area. There are also many endangered native species of animals and plants.
The State of Hawaii who owns the trail stated there never be commercial activity in that area.
Meaning Krank can rent Bicycles, but cant offer Shuttles,Tours, our Guides.
In light of all that and in regard for the place that we live we try to respect that.

So your options are limited:

1) Rent 2 cars place one at bottom and shuttle back up for the other. (this is the best)
2) Have someone in your party (or meet a willing person) drive you to the top and pick you up or drop a car at bottom.
3) Drive to the top and when finished ride to where Haleakala Hwy 377 and Crater road 378 intersect and hitch hike back to the top. One person stays with the bike the other will get pick up in 10-15 min.

Skyline trail Maui is a 45-60 min drive from the shop to trail head and a 35 min downhill on a nice bike lane from Rice Park back to the Shop.

How Long Is A Rental Period?

Krank Cycles rental period is from 10am – 4pm. We do offer a COURTESY pick-up 4pm the night before this is contingent if the renter for that day is back by 4pm. Krank Cycles sits right the base of the 2 legal single track trail systems on Maui. Most clients pick up first thing at 10am and the rental period is plenty of time to ride.
