New at biking and Jose helped me with gear, a rad bike and encouragement! I went in other establishments and didn't find the personal care Zone3Multisport provided. I wouldn't be riding without their help! Thank you Jose!!! Zone3Multisport has the latest top looks and best deals from what I found in LA. Definitely my sport store for biking! read more

Jose is the best! We had a flat tire and he was able to fix it in less than 10 minutes! I like that he doesn't try to upsell you in the process and he was able to tell us what caused the flat and how to avoid those pesky trees in the area. Two days later we got another flat in the other tire (must of had a smaller leak) and Jose not only fixed the flat tire but he did some small maintenances that increased the performance of the bike for little to no charge! read more

Jose Aguilar is a real pro who carries an excellent selection of cycling merchandise and knows the sport extremely well. I am very pleased with the recent purchase of my Wilier Triestina bike, one of three bikes I now own, and plan on visiting Zone 3 Multisport many times in the future. read more

I got a standard tune-up and after it was like riding a new bike. Jose got it done quicker than any other spot in West LA said they could do, and for cheaper. I will go there for sure for my next tune up. read more

Great service, great prices. Stoked it's local. Triathlon shop. Went in to repair my bike tire but it's great they have all I need for swim too! read more

There are many bike shops in Santa Monica but in my opinion, there is only one truly Local Bike Shop (LBS), that is the Zone3 Multisport Shop. Zone 3 is the embodiment of your LBS. Jose is the owner, sales, mechanic and the soul of Zone3 Multisport Shop. He has been working in this location for 20+ years and he has been my go to person for as long. He loves his sport, his bike shop and deeply cares for all of his customers' well being. You need to trust your LBS not only for cost but more than anything for your life and safety. Zone 3 under Jose's proud ownership delivers quality repair and service as well as the best products at very reasonable prices. He delivers on his promises and always tells you the real scoop and truth that you need to know about the products. If he does not have the product, he can get it for you and you can be sure he will stand behind it once you buy it from him. Trust Jose when he tells you you need or do not need something! Believe me when I tell you this from my long experience with him. My wife and I have purchased four bikes over the past few years and will buy our next bikes from him as well. We recommend Zone3 to all of our friends and to anybody who asks for a trustworthy Local Bike Shop. read more

Some well meaning realative bought me a $100 gift card to helens bicycle. WHat a horrible gift, I had to deal with such crap service and poor attitudes for 3 visits to that joke of an operation. Zone 3 is absolutely the best, they don't make you feel like punk and then take your money. Jose and his team work hard to Get your job done right the first time(unlike helens) Answer your questions to the best of their knowledge without BSing you (unlike helens) Offer you reasonable prices. (unlike helens) Give you well meaning advice (unlike helens constant upselling) plus as a bonus, they warmly greet you, offer you assistance and are genuinely interested in developing business with you. Btw I'm no a road racer, i am a fitness cyclist who likes mountain bikes and road bikes and regularly go on touring trips..Don't be intimidated they help everyone.. THANKS Zone3 and sorry i cheated on you with that nasty whore helen's.... btw if they have to order you something its worth the wait because your developing a relationship with a shop who cares.... read more

I picked up road cycling a little over a year ago, and quickly fell in love with the sport. I began riding three to four times a week. However, as I was learning the ropes, I was doing all sorts of stuff wrong, and my bike fell in to disrepair quite often. Like everyone else, I naturally gravitated toward larger bike store chains for service... Who routinely (and sometimes quite brusquely) quoted me service schedules and turnarounds of days or sometimes even weeks later. Then, I found Jose and Zone 3. I was worried that I'd feel like an outsider because I'm no triathlete, but when I first walked in, there was no air of pretension whatsoever. I explained to Jose that my shifting was a little chunky, and, before he even looked at my bike, he offered me a coffee. Talk about good service! When I came back later that afternoon (he called me to let me know my bike was ready that very same day), Jose even brought me back into his service area to show me how I could make minor adjustments myself at home. Needless to say, from that point on, I went to Jose for everything: nutrition, components, service, you name it. To me, Zone 3 defines "local bike shop." You get great service, bike education, very reasonable prices, and a friendly atmosphere, where no matter your level of "expertise", you are treated with respect. That's my idea of a great shop. read more

I'm never the guy to leave a negative review, but my God, this guy could not have gave a s--- less about me or my bike. I get it, I ride an old, crappy, beat-up Peugeot that needs a ton of TLC. But I'm willing to pay you to fix the issues so I can ride my short way to the gym/work every day. But I've now taken it into this guy three or four times (because it's only a mile from my house) and today I finally had enough. Guy treats me as if I'm a nuisance, made my major problem worse (tire sticking on break pad/frame), and charged me $14 to fix a flat tire that took him 90 seconds to repair. And get this, after selling me used tires a couple months ago, he tells me the same tires he sold me are too wide for my bike and I need skinnier ones next time I buy tires!!! Unreal. If you're a rich, white dude with a $3,000 bike, I'm sure he'll treat you better. But don't bring your sub-$200 bike in here. It's too much to ask a guy who makes his living repairing bikes I guess. read more

My shifter cable basically fell off my bike. They repaired it and tuned up a couple other things. My bike feels better now than when it was new! read more

I recently decided to get rid of my Jeep and replace it with a bicycle. So after finding a good deal on a new 2012 model commuter bike (in 2013), I took it to Jose at Zone 3 on a Sunday to be built. I was all excited to finally get my bike when Jose called me the following Tuesday, but he had bad news: my rear wheel was damaged and couldn't be repaired. While I got in touch with the online bike store from where I purchased the bike and the bike manufacturer, Jose was great--he let me leave the bike at his shop for weeks, sent me pictures when I needed them for refunds, called me with updates when he didn't have to, and did everything he could to get me on my bike. (Things were so annoying with the other people involved, I seriously considered just returning the bike for a refund and buying a newer model through Zone 3. That's how great Jose was through everything.) To top such great service off, when I finally showed up to get the bike, it had a Christmas bow on it! I know that was probably just a little Christmas decoration for the shop, but it seemed like a really great personal touch, especially after all the trouble it took to get the bike in good shape. (It's the little things that can win me over.) Sadly, I don't know if I'll be able to make it back to Zone 3 after I sell my car. I live in Van Nuys, so Santa Monica might be off limits unless I strong arm somebody into taking me there, but for the rest of you cyclists out there, look no further than Zone 3. Even if it's a drive for you, that kind of service and craftmanship is seriously worth going out of your way. Other pluses: parking's a breeze, and their hours make it easy for anybody to drop by. Thanks, Jose! read more

Went in to zone 3 looking for a new wetsuit for the nautica tri and I had a great experience with Jose and his crew. After trying on a few suits in different price ranges I found just the right one. Jose was super helpful with sizing and selection. I'm confident that I'll be back for all my tri needs. Thanks guys! read more

This place is great. I started coming here a couple months and found the owner, Jose, to be extremely helpful. He provided me a couple of free samples on nutrition and I thought, that was nice. Not only that, smart business, too. Another time, I was planning on a ride from Santa Monica to Oceanside and wanted to pick up some nutrition and electrolytes. However, since he doesn't carry (they don't make?) individual servings, he broke open a supply of Hammer electrolytes and gave me enough in a pill pouch to get me through the ride so I wouldn't have to carry a big bottle of pills in my pouch. Finally, I brought my Cannondale in to get serviced. I wanted to have everything degreased, cables changed, etc. (essentially, a bike disambly and rebuild). I figured it was a couple years old and could use. When I picked it up and the bill was only in the $60s, I was surprised and asked if he had done all of the work I requested. He answered, "no, it didn't need. I could have done it for you, but would have charged you a couple hundred for things you simply didn't need". How often do you hear that? Very impressed with his service, passion for cycling, and not nickeling and diming the customer. I used to get my gear at Helen's and while they are a fine bike shop, I find the personalized touch at Zone3 more suitable to my tastes. I've bought the Team Six13 cannondale full campy, the Scott Plasma LTD Dura-Ace, and Santa Cruz Blur XTR from Helen's in the past. Due to Jose's "client service", I now have purchased an Orbea Orca Gold Super Record. Like I said, "smart business". I will be getting all of my bicycling needs met here in the future. read more

Took my bike here for servicing, which has not been serviced for several years. Jose helped me out and I got my bike almost like new several days later, with the basic service package. Very professional, quick servicing. Strongly recommend. read more

Great place to get your bike serviced. I brought my bike in to fix a flat tire. The guy fixed the flat, greesed my chain, and adjusted my seat for me. I never even knew my seat was weird, but now it feels amazing...like a brand new bike. It's so much more comfotable now. Customer service was great too, friendly chill guy working there (might be the manager/owner). Whole thing cost around $16 and took about 10 mins. Definitely coming back when I'm flat. read more

Review because we stopped in to buy grease so my husband could fix his bike pedals. They didn't sell it so very nice guy gave us a little baggy for free. We will definitely be back. Looked like a legit small shop with friendly service. read more

It's nice to see smaller boutique bike shops pop up. I had been bike searching for sometime before I passed this shop with their "Grand Re-Opening" banner. The owner(Raul iirc) has the absolute smoothest Campy drive train I have ever encountered. It was unreal how smooth he is able to get his group to shift. What's even better is his tuneups. The pricing is fair and unlike most stores, he uses an ultrasonic cleaner for bike components versus just spraying the bike/components with a degreaser and washing the bike off. His tune up compares favorably to many of the large stores at a much better price. read more

The best bike shop around! I can trust the bike service and pricing I receive at Zone 3. It's one of the very few places I trust with my bike and feel at ease every time I leave my bike there. I highly recommend Zone 3 Multisport! They also carry the most updated cycling equipment and swim and bike apparel. Last year, I got the new Giro Air Attack helmet before any other shop had it in stock. Great shop for triathletes & cyclist :) read more

Recently took my dog scooter in to have looked over.... This is a bicycle shop, but the owner was kind and took the time to check out my Diggler scooter for me. Great, speedy, and friendly service!! Highly recommend for all your bicycle needs. read more

I was so disappointed when the day after my first ride, on my new bike, my rear tire was flat. This is a massive Fat Bike Mountain ebike... and I ordered it from out of State. Well, when I looked on-line, read the reviews here, and saw Zone 3 was 2 blocks from my house, I thought that was good luck. Actually, it was very good luck! Jose was the most helpful service person/technician I have ever dealt with at any LBS. He special ordered my tube, and called me in when it arrived (including a spare). The repair itself was swift, and mindful. This man is a true pro. He even spent a bit of time fine tuning my rear disc brake caliper. He was not happy until the brake adjustment was perfect. I like that! I urge everyone in L.A. area to seek out this LBS (local bike shop) and you will be pleased that you did. I know I am grateful to Jose at Zone 3 Multisport. I'm a customer for life now! (I even joined yelp just to write this review). read more

I recently bought a LOOK 566 from this store. The owner was a pretty friendly guy and he gave me a very fair price on the bike and helped me with a few other things. It's a small store that specialized more in service than bike sales. They do Saturday morning bike rides too. I just wanted to say thanks for bike and service with this review :-) read more

I've been coming to this shop since it opened , me and Jose have become good friends I ride with him and team Zombie. Is a great experience. read more

This shop is ALL about good service. The gear is focused mainly on tri/competitive cycling, but there is a good range of equipment for the average cycler to upgrade their rig as well. What really stands out is the friendly advice and killer service provided by the owner. He was knowlegeable, friendly, and most of all very honest about what he was doing and what you need for your end goal with your bike. His prices are very reasonable as well. I HIGHLY recommend taking your bike here. read more

Jose is awesome, his bike shop is has everything I needed. I came in from a recommendation from a friend and after chatting with Jose for 45 mins I bought a $5k Kestrel Tri Bike... Jose helped measure and fit me, helped with a bunch of other tri gear (I bought a wetsuit here later too). The shop seems small but they always seem to have what I need 6'1" 200lbs for a bigger guy. I really trust these guys... 5 stars all day. read more

Jose was great to work with. I came here for an overhaul on a used bike I just purchased. Once he had the bike torn down, he called me to recommend the less expensive tuneup instead. I really appreciate his honesty and I will definitely come back to Jose in the future. My bike feels brand new! read more

I had a great experience at zone 3. My street bike was shipped out to me and I quickly yelped places to have it assembled and zone 3 was the clear choice. The price for assembly was completely reasonable ($45). Dropped the bike off on Monday and it was ready for pick up the next day. When I went to pick it the staff was very friendly and explained some questions I had about getting it in my car. I also bought a helmet and tool to use for adjusting the seat height which was awesome. Finally I was also able to get a free water bottle with the yelp check-in which was an extra bonus. I would definitely recommend zone 3. read more

If you a serious cyclist/tri athlete (or even semi-serious) I think Zone 3 should be your go-to bike shop. While other local bike shops have their positives, they aren't totally focused on the needs of the triathlete like Zone 3. I also like the fact that when you go into Zone 3 your dealing with Jose the owner who really knows his stuff. So when I need information about local tri's and cycling, or a bike repair, a new bike, or gear of ANY KIND Zone 3 is my first choice! Also Zone 3 is a sponsor of LA Tri Club (www.LATriClub.com) which is awesome. read more

Exactly what you want from a bike shop. Super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and have a good spread of goods. thanks guys

Zone 3 multipurpose triathlon bike shop is one of the best bike shop, they specialized on building good quality of looks, Orbea, and Kesstrell road and thriahlon bike . Thank you papa Jose . read more

Jose is an amazing mechanic-he managed to transform two beaten-up, literally broken bikes into nearly-new machines.

I have been to several local bike shops on the Westside and I have to truly say that I am quite pleased to have found one that meets my most important criteria: integrity Jose is very knowledgeable of bikes and actually spends time to give helpful tips for bike repairs, how to ride efficiently, and other pertinent cycling information. His goal is to meet the needs of the customer and provide them with great experiences on their bikes. Their bike repair rates are super reasonable. I have already recommended to my cycling friends about Zone 3 and Jose's helpfulness. read more

Small selection if you are going to buy a bike but easily a 5 star for service and price.

I recently was shopping for a new road bike and happened upon Zone3 as it it close to my home. There were other big bike shops in the area, and I scoped them out as well, but I kept coming back to Zone3 because I liked the expertise and attention that Jose provided. He recommended a Kestrel Talon Road at a very attractive price for a Carbon bike. He didn't have one in stock, but showed me the bike in the catalogue and said it could be in his shop in a few days. He took my measurements to size the bike without any fees. When I asked to write down details about the bike, he didnt mind, recognizing full well that I could take the information elsewhere and shop for a better price. In fact, I went online (he actually told me I would likely find the bike for about $100 cheaper on some online sites, but that it would not come boxed and would need to be assembled and sized, which most bike shops charge $150-$250). I did find the bike online as he said; however the $100 online difference did not seem worth it to me when Jose was offering to do my full sizing, assembly and fitting for free. I ordered the bike from Jose and he kept me notified all week via email about the order status. Unfortunately, the Talon Road ended up on backorder for a few months, so Jose contacted me about switching to the next higher bike from Kestrel, the RT1000, at a much bigger discount than he was able to offer the Talon Road. This might sound like a scam, but I was actually ordering 2 bikes, and he was able to get one of them (different size) in the Talon Road, but my size was not available. Again, I did my online research on the RT1000, and still found that Jose was offering me the best overall deal. When the bike(s) arrived, I came in for my fitting (all included), which entailed assembling the bike and fine tuning the pedals, seat, and handlebars to my specific size dimensions. He also put the cleats on my shoes (which were both bought elsewhere but he didn't make that an issue). Finally, this being my first road cycle, Jose spent time educating me on things I needed to know about the bike, and general maintenance advice and guidance. He also told me to ride the bike for a few weeks and then come back and he would make whatever adjustments to the fit that we needed to make once I "felt it out". Overall, I was very happy I went to Zone 3 for the following reasons: - Very competitive pricing - Attentive and comprehensive customer service In conclusion, I would recommend Zone3 if you are interested in building a relationship with a local bike shop and not just making a purchase. read more

Zone3. Its the place for all your road bike needs. Known for servicing triathletes but Jose is an expert road technician and still races on the road. Quick turnaround and reasonable prices. You wont be disappointed. read more

Zone 3 Multisport - Bikes Near Me - Santa Monica, California

OMG! Forever I had a great bike shop to go to... Newhall Bicycle and they moved out of state. I have taken my bike to several different shops and until my son found Jose at Zone 3 Multisport I was lost. My son was getting a carbon bike repaired at predator around the corner and they recommended Jose for anything with campy components. His bike came back in perfect condition and since then he has overhauled both of our mountain bikes and road bikes. He is knowledgeable, friendly and takes the time to explain ever aspect of the bike he has worked on when you come in to pick it up. I drive all the way from Santa Clarita to Santa Monica because I don't have a lot of time to ride anymore so when I do, I want to be confident that my bike will be in pristine condition. read more

Perfect spot to service your bikes. Brought 2 bikes and they look like new after they were serviced. Pricing is reasonable for the level of service and compared to other shops the quality is amazing. Shop is bit packed but the assortment is really good. Just can recommend this spot! read more

This is a great shop and Jose is a very knowledgeable bicycle mechanic. Unlike other shops I've went to to get my bikes fitted i didn't recieve the same snobbish remarks from Jose as i did the others, about my bike not fitting or being too old to be used. Jose is a great mechanic and will work with what you have, and explain to you what's going on and what you could do to make the bike work better for you. The service was great and fast and the price is fair. The shop has a wide range of triathalon products and I would go back to pick up any supplies i would need in the future. read more

The rule of thumb in the world of cycling and endurance sports is that the best owners are usually the best mechanics. And the best mechanics are the only people you want to do business with because one should never underestimate the importance of an expert at your side when it comes to helping an athlete, no matter what caliber of athlete you are, to reach your desired level of obtaining peak performance and maximum enjoyment. And no owner puts more effort into achieving this than Jose at Z3MS. He understands the technical details required to help, a beginner to an expert, learn the finer points of cycling, triathlons, or just finding a way to enjoy the outdoors on a cruiser. Jose's particular attention to detail, integrity, and knowledge sets him worlds apart from your basic run of the mill shop where you're just a another number. Caveat - Jose is always in demand so call him in advance and make sure you get time to learn from an expert - it pays in the long run. 5* rating. read more

I went into this store on a whim; I happened to be ready for a break during a long ride, saw their 'grand reopening' banner, and stopped in to take a look around while I recovered a bit. Upon being asked of I needed anything, I decided to have them replace a popped spoke. They then asked if I wanted them to true (straighten, by adjusting all the spokes ) the wheel as well since I'd been riding on the popped spoke for a while and the wheel was pretty wobbly. I accepted, and Raul invited me into the shop area and proceeded to explain each step of the replacement and truing process as he inspected the wheel. He showed me that another spoke had popped, and proceeded to replace both with higher gauge ones and adjust every spoke until the wheel was straight again. In 30 minutes my rear wheel was like new again. Excellent service, friendly staff. I'll go back. read more

This is great shop for 3 types of athletes cycle,swim or running. Im a roady and when ever I need nutrition,parts,gear,mechanical service,adjustments,advice or race course info they got it. Jose the owner is a cat 3 strong racer with experience. I like going to a place that knows the business. Also Raul a.k.a papa zombie works here too, a great mechanic,rider and friendly experienced person. Over all this place is great shop come and visit. If you want a great bike they have some sweet orbea ask bout a test ride, the good thing that they guarranty thier bikes components and wheels. I know for fact, they have helped me. read more
