Boca Hawaii Llc

I decided to ride the Honolulu Century this past weekend and didn’t want to schlep my bike on the plane to Hawaii.
I sent and email to see if there were bikes available, however at the time of the inquiry they didn’t. About a month later Raul emailed me and said they had a couple of cancellations so I jumped on it and reserved a Fuji Roubaix.
I brought my own pedals and saddle and they installed and fitted them while we did the paperwork. They have really good bikes for rentals that are in great condition. Most of the time when you rent a bike they have super cheap components and are in disrepair. Not these.
Rode the 100 miles in driving rain and wind without any problems.
Brought the bikes back and apologized for how filthy they were.
The staff there was excellent and really know their stuff.
I highly recommend these folks if you need to rent a good road bike in Honolulu.
You’re probably asking why not 5 stars? Well, they had a solid 4 stars. If you read my reviews 5 stars are pretty tough to get and only the best of the best get that rating.
If a review has 4 stars, you’ll be very satisfied with their products and services.
Good Unilocaling!

Great running store that carries lots of Hoka One Ones, Altras, Zoot, among other great running shoes. I believe that a lot of serious marathoners come here since they have all the technical gear that Iron Man athletes usually need. I’m not a serious runner, but love Altra and Hoka shoes. They along with Runners Hi have among the best varieties of both. Boca also offers a military discount, which is awesome! Way to support our running troops.

I love, love, love this place and RAUL BOCA. He is the best.
I met him 12 years ago at the Honolulu Club and got hooked on that bike.
I have since returned to his Friday morning bike clinic and love the people there too.
I’m 4’9″ and he managed to find me a used bike because I wouldn’t see spending an arm and a leg on a new one.
This is a complete bike, run, swim, shop for all your sports needs.

Boca Hawaii is a store AND does triathlon clinics. I was a newcomer to triathlon and someone told me about Boca so I signed up for the Cycling training in January followed by the Triathlon Training (prepping you for the Honu ½ Ironman). I was amazed and how awesome it was. I was able to climb Haleakala after just two months of cycling training and I completed my first ½ Ironman several months later. They separate you in groups depending on your ability on the road or in the water. It’s nice to be motivated by the really awesome athletes too. There are many top Hawaii athletes that regularly train with Boca and you get to train with them! They are an awesome «family» and I use the word «family» because that’s the feeling you get after spending time with these people. There are many coaches and each of them have their own personality but most importantly, they know their stuff. It is intimidating at first being surrounded with such talented people but they made me feel very comfortable. I guess there weren’t many new people during the season I trained but I’m glad I went out there and just did it.

Picked up a nice Fuji Aloha 1.0 consignment bike from Boca which they even told me that it was a awesome deal for the bike as the bike goes for about $ 1800 new the bike was so light about 18lbs but that’s another story…
The guys at Boca were very helpful and made sure everything was all set for me to go with my awesome new (to me) bike, I’m sure I’ll be back if I need parts or service for my bike since they are the dealers for Fuji bikes.

My favorite bike shop. Ray is the «Scotty» of bike repair and fitting. They are willing to take the time to teach me how to keep the bike working so I can fix things on the road. The selection if new and used parts had really helped me get the bike I need at the price I can afford.
I have taken many training clinics and the balance of intensity and development brings out the best in all the clinic participants. The coach staff is quite varied in background providing the right kind of guidance when you need it.

I went into the store to try out running shoes made by this company ON that I read about from the recent winner of the Kona Triathlon. Raul let me in the store early made me feel comfortable and explained the shoes and gave me some options since he didn’t have my size in stock but ordered them for me and didn’t charge me the shipping, I was so pleased I brought my wife that same weekend and Ray helped us with the same kind of service we were both pleased that some stores like Boca still give Great service!

Visited shop yesterday for expert advice on running shoes. I got what I was looking for and then some. They are very knowledgeable and just great customer service. I’ll be back for sure.

#1 Triathlon training clinic on the island.
Best coaching staff. These guys make you feel comfortable and welcomed while giving you a kick butt work out! Fun and friendly environment. Everyone that trains with you is very nice and supportive as well. You feel like you walked into a big family and they have open arms to accept you into it. I would highly recommend this business for any first time riders or even the most experienced.
The shop itself is laid out very nicely. Best place for tri gear or a new tri bike. Staff is knowledgeable about bike fitting and repairs.
Thanks Raul and Ray! You guys are great.

So, I reviewed Boca once before with a 4 star review because I really like my bike (although I think I paid too much for it) and they did a good job with a small repair I needed.
Roughly 3 months ago, I went to Boca to get a new tire for my road bike. I told them my budget was from $ 20 – 40 for a new tire and they sold me a tire (given to them from another biker from what I was told) for roughly $ 25. The tire they sold me was terrible. After I got two flats on it, I attempted to call and ask for a refund but the guy on the phone told me that «I got what I paid for». After my 4^th flat (and spending roughly $ 30 on inner tubes), I finally went in and gave them back their paper thin tire.
I went to a competitor and they educated me on the various tires I could use for my bike. I spent an extra $ 5 on my NEW tire and the quality of that tire is incredible. I haven’t had a flat yet.
If you can, shop around. Don’t make the mistake I made by going to Boca Hawaii. I should have put this review up the day I gave their junk tire back.

I was referred to Boca by Triathlon Kapahulu in search of a specific (L) SRAM X5 shifter. Boca was the only shop that stocked the SRAM part I desperately needed. They were kind enough to charge me a very reasonable price for the shifter. From today forward I will always check with Boca for any parts I need… I suggest you do too.
One of the few shops that advertise SRAM and actually stock it. Thank you!

Took my road bike in for service here because The Bike Factory next door was terrible.
However, Boca is a great little shop that has what I need. The service I got from Eduardo was top notch. Excellent mechanic and he even trued my spokes for free. I purchased two tires, a seat, and bar tape.
The outstanding service will have me coming back for more.

A cool little shop mostly catering to triathletes. Even so, they still have roadie gear and road bikes here, but not much compared to the other shops. What’s unique about this place is I think they sell used bikes (which are obviously cheaper than their new ones), so they are the only shop that does that.
Try not to mention online shopping when you’re here though. I was shopping around for a Kestrel Tri bike, and as soon as I mentioned to Ray there that I might buy the same bike online, he suddenly seemed a lot more quiet than before I said that. Despite that, he still gave me advice on what size to buy, but I have a feeling he would’ve given more if I hadn’t mentioned the online thing.
Aside from that little incident, this shop has always done me right. Besides used bikes, they also have a small selection of used parts; I got my 40 cm Bontrager ergo bars from them for around $ 30 I think, a worthwhile price to make my bike fit better.

Small specialty shop, attached to the Bike Factory. They sell used bikes and miscellaneous triatlon/​adventure race gear. They are affiliated with Adventure Race Hawaii, so they should have all the gear you need for these sweet activities.
