Jag beställde en super deluxe ultimate 2023 med hydraulic bottom out som man kan inte hitta någonstans. Efter strul med andra företag som tog ÅRTID på att ens få in produkten i lager så var jag skeptisk. Jag beställde produkten väldigt sen tisdag kväll och jag fick produkten nu på fredag samma vecka. Jag är GALET nöjd och jag kan rekomendera r2-bike till alla på jorden.

Excellent service each time

I have several times during the last couple of years purchased MTB parts from R2-bike.com and the service have been excellent each time. I can highly recommend R2-bike for your next purchase.

Fantastic Bike Shop

Excellent company, after Brexit ordering from UK became a pain, so I found this gem of a site. Has every component needed! Exclusive prices, very prompt delivery and packaging. I will be ordering from here long term!
Keep up the excellent work guys.

UK buyer, very pleased.

I'm in the UK and as a last resort I thought I would try to source some SRAM parts, that I just cannot get in the UK, from an EU on line store. I was really pleased with the swiftness of r2 and the fact that the parts were sent DHL tracked. They arrived three days later. I would definitely use r2 again as I trust them to not only have parts in stock that others don't, but also their efficiency.

Poor customer service after receiving a defective item.

I got a few items from R2 bike for Christmas and one of them, a CTS valve for a Formula Selva fork, turned out to be defective.

I contacted R2 immediately to describe the situation and expect a return shipping label so I can get a replacement. But no, at first they want evidence of the malfunction and demand i send photos or video.

Whatever, I film the valve not working as intended and send it to them right away. They reply the next day saying they will get in contact with the manufacturer and will wait for their response before proceeding.

Extremely poor customer service and against the law. They sold the item so it's their responsibility to replace it. Their communication with suppliers and manufacturers is none of my concern.

Replied this immediately but did not get a response so naturally not a return slip either so I am left hanging over the weekend instead of getting the return process started immediately so I can get a working valve asap.

The right move would have been to send me a return slip right away instead of this nonsense.

Thank you for your feedback. Your ordered spare part for a Formula fork is quite special and an everyday product.
We have contacted the german distribution for advice. It would be not the first time the distribution/manufacturer is able to help and solve the problem
without changing the item. Not everything has to be defective right away.

Unfortunately the service of the distributor is out of office around the days of new year. To shorten your waiting time we will replace the item.

We are sorry if we do not meet your exceptations.

Best regards

Well stocked, quick & cheap international shipping

UK customer here. Twice R2 have had Sram bits in stock that are hard to find over here atm (brexit🙄). But even if they were in stock here, R2 would be cheaper and e7.50 for shipping is very reasonable. Both occasions my parts arrived promptly & with free gifts. Haribo & stickers are always appreciated.
Cheers guys, I’ve been recommending you too all my riding mates.

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience, should have read independent reviews instead of from their page. Very very slow shipping.

We're sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Your order has been shipped within 18 hours from ordering time.
The delivery time in total was 3 weeks, what is our stated delivery time for a standard shipment (2-4 weeks).
If you need an express delivery, you can book this extra service for most of the items. If not, it's a bulky item. Please ask us for an express delivery.

Always having a good experience…

Always having a good experience ordering from R2 bike. My recent order came after 6 days which is not bad.

Dhl express is quite expensive at 66euro to Dubai. But it's ok rather than waiting for 1 month to arrive.

Poor Communication

Poor Communication.

Ordered several parts, all indicated as stocked and available. After a week, I got an email saying that one part will only be available mid September 22 (we are currently mid June 22). No suggestion or offer that all other parts will be shipped immediately or if I - in light of the changed availability - would like to cancel my order. I have since written 2 emails asking for clarification and being contacted - no answer as of yet. I have tried calling and held the line for 2 h !!!!!!! No one has picked up the phone.

It is unacceptable that customers have to bear the inconvenience a shop is causing. Absolutely unprofessional behaviour and business conduct.

I will remain ordering from other online stores I suppose!

Edit: r2 flagged my review. Interestingly, they are quick in flagging critical reviews while slow on actually delivering customer experience or being proactive in solving problems.... Once again, a clear indication for me on to what the actual problem here really is...

Thank you for your feedback. We had an error in the shown delivery date of your ordered item. We apologise for the mistake and the followed circumstances.

We have informed you by e-mail about the status of your order and the delay of an item. At the same time we offered a part delivery which has been accepted by your side.
Yes I agree It's hard to get us on the phone at the moment. There are too many requests. We apologise.

We have replied to your email within less than 24 hours.

Return process issue

Purchased a set of Shimano Ultegra 12v chainrings recently, the sales process was smooth as well as the delivery. I followed their return process as stated on their site as I had to return them, printed the pre paid postal service, filled in the form and sent it over but has some issues as the return was taking long. It was a bit frustrating in trying to get hold of the support team over the phone.

Return issue was finally solved after finally being able to engage with r2 bike.

Brutal time to ship out order.

Date: 05/24/22
Placed on order May 15, 2022. Nothing back-ordered or showing not in stock. Tracking info finally provided today. Tracking still shows order not yet shipped. One+ week order process is brutal for a online site. Placed orders with other bike retailers and they were delivered within 2-3 days. Living in the great white north, riding time is precious.
If you want the best deals, order from R2. But be prepared to wait, weeks if you're unlucky.

Update 05/26/22: For 2 days tracking data showed "The instruction data for this shipment have been provided by the sender to DHL electronically"... aka they just created a packaging slip for my shipment and not actually shipped it out. It was finally turned over to DHL today. We'll reserve final judgement upon its delivery time.
10 days from order placed to being put into shipping.
I really like the R2 Bike web layout and how they actually post real weights on their website. But if they can't even fulfill their primary purpose within a timely manner, then all the detailed pictures mean squat.

Update 06/02/22: Well still no shipment. But R2 Bike is disputing my review. Which I find ironic. If they put more effort and resources into customer service, as opposed to monitoring review sites, they'd likely experience less negative reviews. Email replies that take 4-5 days is so very unprofessional.

Update 06/07/22: Finally received my shipment. Box was wet and smelled of dot brake fluid. Some parts needed to be cleaned off. But everything was packaged well and no apparent damage. Nothing missing from order. Didn't get the R2 Bike water bottle as offered at checkout though. Or no other swag. For a 2k euro order.

-> One of the ordered items was not in stock and shown with a delivery time of one week. That explains the delay. If you want to have your order as fast as possible please focus on items which are shown as "available from stock". Please note that items with options can have different delivery times.

-> An order above 1000 Euro requires special papers from the german customs before the export. It takes 1-3 days until the customs release the order for further shipment process.

Of course we are not happy about this review and can't check the situation because you work anonymous. For those cases we can dispute the review to get more information. A feedback is only helpful if we are able to check the process. Thank you for your understanding.
We are not happy that we need around 4 days for a reply to your email. It's the peak of the season and we get a lot of inquiries in these days. We are super sorry for the delay.

-> Thank you for the note. According to the tracking your order has been delivered on June 7th. No one was at home and the parcel was ready to pick up from post office at the same day.
Yes we offer a free water bottle for certain orders. You have to actively add the item to your order.

If you have any quesitons let me know. I'm happy to help you. -> support@r2-bike.com
