At Stewarts  Avanti Plus we think that the most important thing on a bicycle is you! 
Welcome along for the ride!

 

Stewarts Avanti Plus is synonymous with cycling in Nelson having been established for over 21 years and is located at number 114 lower Hardy Street next to the brick crossing.

We carry the most extensive range of cycles and cycling equipment in the top of the South Island and welcome the opportunity to show you through our great range. We have a selection of meticulously crafted, state of the art mountain, road, and BMX bicycles to suit the most discerning buyer. Our range of kids bikes is second to none too.
 
We also stock recreational bicycles, parts, accessories and clothing to please many a cyclist. Come in and check out huge range of comfortable cross bikes aimed at the casual rider. These appeal to so many people whose aim is fitness, fun and versatility. We have sent so many of our customers over the Rainbow on these incredible bikes.
  We also stock a very wide range of the new style flat bar road bikes, very fast for commuting or more user friendly for road use than the conventional drop bar road bikes.
 
Here at Stewarts Avanti Plus we are committed to making customers' cycling experiences pleasurable and fun. Come and meet the staff and learn about our favourite rides. We love to show new riders our favourite trails. Check here for our own Nelson Mountain Bike Trails Map which we have graded based on experience. You can even join us after work for a thrilling offroad ride or club race.

If you feel like a road training ride the road tandem usually leaves the shop at 9.00am on Thursday mornings for 2 hours and in the Winter Tuesdays as well.
 If you would like to have a go on the tandem give Mike a call.

The mechanics and sales staff usually go for a MTB ride on Wednesday nights after work. Give us a call if you want to come or just turn up.

Suggested Ride

Tantragee Saddle

click to enlarge

Approximately 4 kms from Central Nelson on the south eastern side of the city, Tantragee Saddle is the key to some great forest track riding in and around Fireball Road (Yellow) .


The Tracks shown here are the main ones only, with a bit of investigation you'll find many other great small single tracks to conquer. Once at the Brook Street carpark (OK Corral) follow the unsealed road which steadily climbs for approximately 1km to the saddle.


At the saddle climb over the stile and you can choose to continue straight onto Fireball Road or right down into the valley floor.

 

Fireball Road gives you a mixture of 4WD and single track weaving its way through pine forest. This undulating terrain provides both sustained climbs and exhilarating downhills to satisfy both the fitness freak and adrenalin junkie.


This area alone can provide days of entertainment but should you wish to venture futher Tantragee Saddle provides access to both The Dun Mountain Walkway and Fringe Hill.
