RINCLE Store Distribution Map

RINCLE launched its service in February 2026 with 24 stores across 12 prefectures.

Since then, it has received significant interest from sports bike specialty stores nationwide, growing to 56 stores across 19 prefectures by June 2026.

In addition to road bikes, the platform now increasingly offers a wide range of sports bikes including cross bikes, mountain bikes (MTB), mini-velos, folding bikes, and e-Bikes.

RINCLE is gaining nationwide popularity as a service that meets diverse needs—such as wanting to test-ride a bike before purchasing, enjoying high-performance sports bikes while traveling, or cycling with family and friends.

Solving the Problem of "Nowhere to Experience"

Sports bikes are vehicles whose true appeal can only be understood through actual riding.

However, challenges remain in taking the first step due to difficulties such as not knowing where to experience them, which model to choose, or the lack of opportunities to test-ride before buying.

RINCLE partners with local sports bike specialty stores to provide a secure and reliable environment for experiencing sports bikes, combining online reservations with professional shop support.

A key feature of RINCLE is that after a rental experience, users can consult with shop staff on selecting the right bike—such as frame size and model—and receive personalized advice on riding techniques and ways to enjoy cycling.

RINCLE aims to be more than just a rental service; it strives to become a gateway for meaningful encounters with sports bikes.

CEO Statement

"The true appeal of sports bikes can only be understood by riding them. However, opportunities and locations to experience them are still insufficient. RINCLE collaborates with professional shops nationwide to create a safe and accessible environment for everyone to experience sports bikes.

Looking ahead, we aim to expand to 300 stores nationwide, making it easier than ever for people to discover the joy of sports cycling."
