Excellent customer service

Bought a Troy Lee helmet which was a great price and delivered quickly. Had to return it due to a fault (manufacturing issue which I hadn’t noticed until after I’d removed the tags) and they couldn’t have been more helpful or pleasant to deal with.

Do not buy from this retailer

Do not buy from this retailer, just look at how they are not informing their customers on the Santa Cruz Heckler battery recall.
Disgusting.

original purchase around 2022 Feb
-Wouldn't sell me a V10,even after consistently asking for one (They referred me to a Nomad which I bought instead (2-3 ish years later ) I got to ride a V10 absolutely hated it, After riding my nomad for 3 years absolutely love it ,best bike I have ever ridden ,at my 6 weeks first service ,my rear coil shock absorber was broken or something ,got it replaced under warranty for a rock shock air shock ,brilliant service
-Bottom line
(Thank you for not selling me the V10 even though I insisted on it many times )(however it isn't as hard to ride / pedal as guy in the shop told me )

(thank you for selling me the nomad instead :)

Stiff (and Santa Cruz) are amazing for…

Stiff (and Santa Cruz) are amazing for customer services. I needed an obscure part for my V1 Bronson, Stiff (and SC) provided for free the next day after making the request. I have dealt with Stiff on a few occasions and have been delighted with the friendly and efficient manner in which they engage with you. Will defo get my next SC from Stiff.

Mixed Experience

Good Price & delivery but Fox Gloves broke the first time of use - They arent expensive products but they wanted the old ones back before they would send me any others (although they are broken and I sent lots of pictures).

Customer Service was a little blunt too but hey maybe I'm just annoying lol

Excellent service

Stif did a wonderful job for me. Bought a cracking bike from them; they built it packed it and despatched it exceptionally quickly - you know what it’s like when you get the N+1 excitement - you want the bike straight after you pay.

They checked with me all build details and after service by Gav was on point

New bike from Stif Harrogate

The staff at the Harrogate store are extremely helpful. I got to try a few of the bikes I was looking at and was given some really good advice on what would suit me best for my style of riding. The deal I got was really good and so was the after sales support. Gav was great and looked after everything start to finish. There was a potential manufacturer defect with one of the tyres that initially I only wanted reassurance with. Instead they offered to replace it free of charge with a better tyre so I couldn’t say no. I would recommended using this shop. They are flexible and will sort you out so you leave happy. Thanks again
