Cycle Gear

I’ve purchased a lot of gear from this place and the staff is knowledgable and very welcoming. (If you’ve been in other motorcycle gear shops, you know that the staff is not always pleasant to deal with.) I ordered some Dainese leather pants and they came in within a week. One of the staff members spent a good 15 minutes with me helping me select the best backpack. Cool people – fellow riders. I’ll keep coming back here.

Wonderful staff with great customer service. Always helpful when trying to find the best gear to fit your budget. I’d defiantly recommend this store to fellow riders and those who are getting into it.

by far the best place to buy your helmets! I bought my helmet there less then a year ago and didnt really use it too much but the straps on the helmet started falling apart. I called on the phone and spoke with trevor he said bring it by i will try to fix it for you. I wasnt expecting to get a brand new helmet. when i got there i talked to trevor and he was awesome replaced my helmet on the spot no questions asked! I am so stoked for life i will buy my helmets for cycle gear.

Great prices and good selection. Although most of the selection is dedicated to riding gear for sport bikes. I was helped by Cody and he fitted me for a great new helmet at the current sale prices.
I have been shopping there for years and they away so have great deals.
Look for the bike nights, those are fun.

Great shop & resource for riders new & old. I’ve gotten boots, 2 helmets, jacket, gloves, and grips here ha. Good quality and prices, and really no questions on returns. Helpful staff all riders too.

I just bought my first bike and needed some gear. The staff are very knowledgeable. The selection is very broad. I was helped by employee, Cody, and he answered all my questions and helped me understand what to look for in a helmet and jacket, super nice guy. I will definitely be going back!

They are always helpful and have a really nice selection of products. I have bought about 90% of my gear from this shop.

Ben was very knowledgeable and helpful today as I looked into purchasing a new Helmet, Riding Jacket and Pants. I found his experience and enthusiasm in the motorcycle field a plus, as well as his first hand knowledge of the various brands and that makes one potentially a better value or better product than the other. I will be back.

The kid working here (with the blue ninja 600) was extremely patient and did a great walkthrough of their available gear.
I later got an Alpinestars jacket and some gloves.
Kudos you guys, happy to have found ya

I came here for the first time yesterday to purchase a clear shield for my helmet. I was honestly a little bit anxious/​intimidated walking in, but I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing customer service! Both employees at the shop were so friendly and helpful (Garrett assisted me). My helmet was given to me by the bike owner with only a tinted shield, so I had no idea what brand or model it was. Garrett quickly found the appropriate clear shield and snapped it on my helmet for me. He also put the tinted shield into the plastic bag.
I will definitely come back to check out the rest of the shop another time!

I have been going to Cycle Gear for a number of years. There sales people are very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a nice variety of parts, equipment, and clothing. Their prices are competitive and really good when on sale. I have found James to be especially helpful. I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

Just bought two great motorcycle helmets for my friend and his son and am very happy with the purchase. The staff was incredibly helpful, yet not pushy and helped me find exactly what I needed. Will definitely return to purchase more gear in the near future. Two thumbs up!

I had a great experience at this location! Much better than the last cycle gear I went to a couple months ago! The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful!
Ben was awesome at educating me and getting me fitted for the correct gear! I can’t wait to come back!
Highly recommend this location!

Erik here is great! Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Great pricing as well.

I’ve been to this location on several occasion. I purchased my bike from Mission Motorsports and had them throw in my Alpinestars jacket, but all my other gear has been from this store. When I first walked in… I had a lot of questions and the staff was more then helpful in answering them. James in particular is one of the guys that I see every time I come in. I’ve gone in to try out things and then ask him his opinion on why this vs that. James always provides a great answer that always ends up in me researching online for more info and his advice is spot on.
I’ve picked up an Arai helmet, Alpinestars SP-​2 gloves and Alpinestars Air pants prior to today’s visit. I’ve already been to the store a few times looking to purchase some riding boots. I looked at the Alpinestars SMX 5’s and the Plus. Today I came in looking to get myself one of these riding boots. Saw James and asked him what he thought and he was very honest about the quality both these boots had, but also referred me to the Dainese TR Course Out which was $ 70 cheaper than the A* Plus. James broke down how these two models were very similar to one another and that the safety and protection would be comparable. It was really based on my preference. James also added how the leather on the Dainese was well maintained by a special process the company would take to make sure it was good leather. Impressive fact… one of those things that makes you know that they really do know about their products and that they have experience in breaking down what would be the best purchase for me. I ended up picking the Dainese and now I have all the gear I need to feel confident on the road. I’ve also earned enough CycleGear points to pickup a $ 100 or more valued item from their reward points list.
You can always purchase things online, but they will match those prices and the great thing is you can try things out before making that decision. Their return policy is outstanding and if you follow the timeframe on when you can return items — it really is 100% satisfaction guaranteed. I read the other review where the item was returned a week later… I mean I get it… you want to say 100% satisfaction guaranteed, but when it’s unfair to give these guys 1 star bc the customer didn’t return the gear in the time allowed. The staff here is not unreasonable and I’m sure if they could’ve done something they would’ve done it to make the customer happy, but policies are put in place to protect other consumers. I would not feel comfortable knowing that an item such as a helmet was returned 2 weeks after it was used. 1 week is already plenty of time. That purchase was over $ 500 so I’m not sure why that was not a priority for the customer to bring it back within the allotted time. Anyways… I wanted to give my 2 cents regarding that and give props to this store for taking care of their customers.
If you want to get the best gear out there — it’ll cost you, but these guys will take the time to let you know why it’s worth the extra money. And so far they have been right with all the items I have purchased. I will be coming back for more gear.

Prices are good… Pretty decent selection… One dude was helped out and was cool… The other dude was kind of a douche… Typical Orange County… Eh whatever but my experience was ruined… I’ll just try the crap on then Oder online from now on

Wow, sorry another Sedici suit on the street and just felt so sad. I can’t believe the actually let customers walk out the store with such junk. Just because you combine a few of the popular names to sound like an Italian knock off does not make it Italian, in fact these Made in China junk made Psuedo Leathers are an amazing tribute to horrible salesmanship. To have a salesman tell a customer that these are better than riding naked, is like saying its better to wrap yourself in paper before going for a ride, as opposed to educating a customer towards investing in the right equipment that will actually hold up in the event of an accident. Selling a false sense of security based on horrible products. Many of the in-​house brands are ridiculous here.

There was a point in time when this was actually a good store. It’s now not. I purchased a Hero3 goPro and experienced NOTHING but problems out of it. I went to the goPro website and goPro confirmed it was manufacturer and software defects. I then took the goPro back with the receipt and box to cycle gear of lake forest after I was told over the phone I would be taken care of… when I arrived to the store I then stated how I wanted store credit to purchase a better camera they had in stock. The manager James did everything in his power not to do this as if something was coming out of HIS pockets… Even knowing this camera had defects himself… instead he acted condescending and made ignorant statements defending goPro… he made statements such as’well you liked it enough to buy another one’ because I told him I had 2 of them. The reason I had 2 was because mine didn’t work and was unreliable and my frnd lent me his which gave me a total of 2… I did not buy 2 of these cheap disposable cameras ., And in the end I had to call corporate and all they did was give me another hero3 in the box which Lord knows is going to stop working completely in a month time… just as easy as they did that they could have issued me store credit… These people are dumb and make NO sense… Thanks guys for nothing… I will be sure to purchase all of my electronics from best buy in the future and all of my gear on ReVzilla because it’s actually cheaper and they have products in stock… And they treat their customers with honesty and integrity and actually support and stand by the products they sell. No wonder cycle gear downsized. I’m not going back

Stopped by here on my way back from SD. I’ve been wanting to get a riding boots but didn’t quite want to order it online. I’m one of those people that unless i know the brand and know my fit, i would not order online.
I’ve been looking at the Alpine stars Stella S-​MX5 boots. and i finally came into the store to see if i can try one on. This particular store is under renovation? there’s another room that has all the jackets and suits. The main room is where the accesories (helmets, gloves, boots, etc)
The boot section is pretty small but then i don’t know how other stores are. Most of them were Bilt, dainese, and alpine stars.
The boot that i was looking for they do have but only in size, 9, 7, 6. well i’m normally a 7.5 or 8. I tried on the 9, it was a bit big… but i know that i will like this boot once i order the 8. Nice zipper and calf extender flaps.
The guys that work there are not as helpful perhaps it’s sunday afternoon and they don’t feel like helping much?
But anyways i got what i came in for. To feel what it’s liek to have the boots on. Now i’ll just have to shop for the price.

Yes. I’m a fan of Cycle Gear.
Not because I’m an MSF Rider Coach and I’m eligible for for a discount on merchandise.
but
because Cycle Gear always has a wide range of styles, options all with a fairly decent price point, especially when the merchandise goes on sale or on clearance.
I don’t mind the store brand names as they’re more affordable than the big names yet they do the job. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
I’ve not had any bad experiences here even when I’ve had to exchange or return things.
