Cycle Gear

Been here a couple of times and service is always attentive. Only thing I dont like is the location its pretty out of my way. Anyway keep up the good work over there guys.

If they don’t have it, they’ll get it for you quickly and then phone when it arrives. Being able see and try before buying is a big plus for me. If you haven’t used their Freeze-​Out and Heat-​Out underliners, you are missing out on a lot of extreme weather riding comfort. My go-​to place for bike thingies.

Great selection of gear for all levels and genres of riders. Dirt track road they have clothing parts and accessories at very reasonable prices. Employees are helpful and know their product. This helps to make an informed buying decision when it comes to buying outerwear and helmets.

As another Unilocaler has stated… terrible to non existent service. Spent the better part of twenty minutes standing in a line while one employee asks if any of us need something other than for them to ring us up while two employees are busy helping the chick with the boyfriend who is just there to try on Jackets and says he isn’t buying and the other guy sells tires to a guy who doesn’t even know what size he needs.
They need to stand at the registers though to conduct these non-​sales things to make sure that those of us who actually KNOW what we need are kept captive for the longest time apparently in an effort to devalue our business. Congratulations! It worked! Stopped by the dealership by my house, found what I needed, got an inventory slip made up and was out the door in less than the 20 – 30 minutes of my life wasted at Cycle Gear. My advice? Avoid like the plague unless you want to buy cheap «Bilt» brand stuff and don’t mind spending half of the day here with people blissfully ignoring you. Most of what they show online isn’t available there so there’s that to factor in as well.

The staff at Cycle Gear Portland (Michael, Falcon, Georgia, and Deven) are absolutely top-​notch: They’re friendly, knowledgeable, easy-​going, and SUPER helpful! I’ll be taking all of my business to CGP!

This is my go to place for gear. I usually do not like waiting for shipping, but if cyclegear has it, I can always drive up here and pick up stuff that I need.
We got my wife’s RF1200 here and we were able to CUSTOM FIT WITHOUT WAITING and going through shipping. They really took care of us.
They are very easy to talk to and are always there to help you.

These guys are great. Went in looking for a jacket. The guy that helped me, took the time to find out what type of riding I am doing and what would be best for the conditions I ride. Explained the proper fit and the pros and cons for each style of jacket. Got a perfect jacket at a good price. I’ll be back.
Bottom line: Nice staff, good selection and no ego’s. Wish I lived closer.

I’ve been to this Cycle Gear a few times now, and usually walk out the door with what I went looking for.
They sell a ton of stuff. Honestly, maybe a bit too much for their floorplan. It’s pretty cramped in there and can be difficult to navigate if there’s more than 3 – 4 other customers.
The staff is fantastic. They’ve always been very helpful, pleasant to deal with, and they seem to know their gear well. I don’t feel rushed or like I’m a burden to them; wish I could say that of more retail establishments.
Bilt. Lots and lots and lots of Bilt. I get that it’s their house brand, but I’d like to see a bit more inventory of something other than Bilt stuff. This is especially true with helmets, where it seems to be about 75% of their inventory.
Their parts section isn’t all-​encompassing, but I’d say it’s better than I’d expected given the size of the shop they have to work with. If you’re looking for a universal-​fit part, you’ll likely find it there. Something specific to your bike? Probably not.
Overall, I’m very glad to at least have them as an option when I’m looking for motorcycle gear. I do think they could use a few more square feet and a few more parking spots, though.

Very impressed. They have a large selection of motorcycling shoes, mostly street, 2 or 3 brands of jackets and pants, and a bunch of accessories. The staff was quite helpful, and offered good advice on a number of points.
It’s now on my list of go to places for motorcycle accessories for sure.

Other than this particular location, time, and day being like Black Friday at Macy’s for men, this was a really good experience. (No, I have no idea why it was so slammed for a Friday other than it was nice and sunny and it is the season to start riding again).
I had one young gentleman help me with my awesome jacket and reflective vest, and an older gentleman assist me with helmet sizing and options. I managed to pick out gloves and a $ 180 uClear Bluetooth helmet music/​phone system on my very own. I just want to toss out there that that uClear is the most awesome thing ever. With my full face helmet it sounds like freaking Dolby surround for music and phone calls are clear as using a regular phone.
After about 10 helmets I settled on a very unique Seven Zero Seven matte black. Never seen one like it and it fits me just perfectly. The fiberglass construction makes it just as light as the much more expensive Shoeis. Was $ 230 regularly, but it happened to be on sale.
I think I walked out spending about $ 700, but it was well worth it.

Perfect experience, I was greeted the second I walked in the door, and my salesman walked me through the process of buying my first full face helmet. There was no attempt to up sale and he was very patient with my inexperience :).
I came here after being treated less than stellar at a local Harley store. Very glad I did!!! Huge selection of helmets great prices and wonderful service.

MEH. That sums up this place for me. I was turned off by their selection. A LOT of BILT gear. Too much in fact. Not my brand. Their website on the other hand has a large selection but this store specifically was a huge disappointment. Sales staff was non-​existant. I spent about 15 minutes looking for a few items which I eventually found but had someone helped me, it would have been easier. And no, the sales associate was not helping anyone. In fact the two of them were chatting it up at the counter about one of their hot dates that they went on the night prior.
I will not be back and wont buy from their website either. Sport Bike Track Gear, although online only for me, is a better choice and their CS is top notch.

Ok, I don’t know what the hell happened to cycle gear but this place has turned into a pain in the ass. The salesmen don’t usually know what they’re talking about unless its something basic like a helmet or gloves and the high pressure sales doesn’t really seem right in a motorcycle shop. I ride a motorcycle, i know what I want, I don’t get how they think they’re going to talk me into buying stupid crap at the counter. If i wanted high pressure from a salesperson I’ll go to Bobs used cars down the street. the prices are good but other than that it can be an annoying experience.

Portland’s motorcycle community isn’t as big as they bay area’s and it reflects it in Cycle Gear. It’s a smaller store, with not as deep in selection of products. The pro of this store is that it tries to cover all aspects of motorcycles. the con, they aren’t able to cover everything.
they didn’t have my air filter, no Arai helmets, i couldn’t even get a pair of gloves for myself. I do appreciate that they try to have everything, it’s just unfortunate that they didn’t have the stuff i needed.

If you’re in the market for Motorcycle gear. As the name implies Cycle Gear is a great place to go. They don’t sell motorcycles but they sell everything else that you need.
Oil. Clothing. Helmets. Stands. Videos.
Its all for sale here with friendly staff.
