Why do we offer Free Test Rides for our Custom Bikes?

Feel what specs can't tell you. Experience our premium custom road bikes on a test ride. Lightweight, aerodynamic, and exceptionally comfortable, our bikes deliver exhilarating acceleration, precise handling, and maximum efficiency. Feel how every detail is engineered with uncompromising performance in mind, and discover a riding experience that sets a new benchmark.

No commitment, no pressure

Experience the lightness, stiffness and speed of a Vélobsessive road bike with zero obligation. If it's not the right fit, you leave with no hard feelings.

Feel what specs can't tell you

No brochure captures how a carbon frame accelerates out of a corner or how the cockpit feels after 30 minutes in the saddle. Your body knows before your brain does.

Combine it with a Bike Fitting

Book a bike fitting alongside your test ride and the bike will be precisely adjusted to your position before you even clip in. The most honest test possible.

How Test Rides Work

Simple, free and completely on your terms. Here's what to expect when you come to ride a Vélobsessive in Neerach.

Choose your Vélobsessive Bike

Select the Vélobsessive model you want to ride. Not sure which one suits you best? Each bike is built for a different rider profile — road racing, gravel adventures or triathlon performance. If you need guidance, contact us here.

Book your slot

Pick a date and time that works for you directly in our calendar. Slots are available throughout the week. Booking takes less than 2 minutes and is completely free. We just ask for 24 hours notice if you need to cancel.

Come to Neerach

We're located at Steinmaurstrasse 33, CH-8173 Neerach, near Bülach in the canton of Zürich. Easy to reach by car. Just show up at your booked time — no paperwork, no formalities.

Ride for one hour

The bike will be set up to a standard position before you arrive. Clip in and ride. Feel the acceleration, the stiffness, the handling. One hour on real roads around Neerach — enough to know if this is your bike.

Decide without pressure

After your ride, you're free to go. No sales pitch and no obligation. If you want to talk about building your own custom bike, Thomas will be there. If you need time to think, that's completely fine too.

Please notify us at least 24 hours before your appointment if you are unable to attend* 
You must bring your ID before the test ride*

“A colleague and I booked the Dynamic bike fitting. Thomas took plenty of time for us, explained everything in detail, and gave us personalized advice. We would definitely book our fitting with Vélobsessive again. The price is very fair”

"After the new adjustment, I can stay in the TT/Aero position for longer. And by longer, I mean 3+ hours! After adjusting the shoes, the pain in my feet is gone. Thank you for the service!"

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any doubt that is not in the FAQs, contact us here

What should I bring to the test ride?

Your cycling shoes with cleats already attached, your usual cycling kit and shorts, and a helmet if you have one. Also, you must bring your ID to the test ride!

Can I choose which bike I want to ride?

Yes, completely. When you book your test ride you select the specific model you want to try — road bike, gravel bike or triathlon bike. If you're not sure which one suits you best, Thomas is happy to advise before you come in or contacting him now here.

Do I need to buy the bike after the test ride?

No. The test ride is completely free and there is zero obligation to purchase. You come, you ride, you decide — on your own terms and in your own time. If you want to talk about building a custom bike after the ride, Thomas will be there. If you need time to think, that's completely fine too.

Is the test ride suitable if I already own a road bike?

Absolutely. Many riders come for a test ride simply out of curiosity — to feel the difference between their current bike and a custom-built Vélobsessive. It's one of the most honest ways to understand what a properly fitted custom bike actually changes. No commitment required.
