The Gravity MTB Garage
The Gravity MTB Garage is a mountain bike coaching and service hub in downtown Cumberland, housed in a converted auto shop and described on its website as the only full-suspension service centre on Vancouver Island. Founded by Chad and CJ Hendren — Chad serves as Canada's National Downhill Team Coach — it combines a full retail store, a dedicated suspension workshop with specialized tools, a strength training gym, and the island's exclusive Forbidden Bike Co. demo and sales centre. Touring cyclists will find a rider-first atmosphere complete with a bike wash, lounge area, and deep local trail knowledge at the heart of one of BC's premier mountain biking destinations.
